As in title. I just bought a new display and dbd displays in stretched 1920x1080, dbd doesn't have in-game resolution settings (what ? It's like the only game I know that doesn't have those settings XD), any ideas how to fix this ?

    I just recently got a 1440p monitor and did a fresh Windows install too. On first game launch the game had already defaulted to 1440p for me.

    It just doesn't scale the game to 1440p like other games do so it looks streched on a first glance.

    You can verify that by opening the configuration file with notepad or similar.

    C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\DeadByDaylight\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor\GameUserSettings.ini

    If for some reason it doesn't change to 1440p try deleting the configuration file, then the game should generate a new file using default settings based on your system and resolution.
