is It Even Possible To Fix Stretched Res Cheating?
Killers already have it rough, what with the possibility for 4 Survivors working together on voice comms, plus 3-4 second-chance perks per Survivor, and if it's not 4, then someone's bringing CoH.
But on top of just massive cooperation, plus META perks, there's stretched res. Now the Killer can't even mindgame our out-play Survivors. The second a Killer sees a Survivor staring at their shoes; he's lost.
Now he has to deal with CoH hyper-heals, second chance perks out the butt, possible coordination the game really was not built for, and his final weapon; mind games, has been taken away.
I can deal with fighting perks in the game. I can, reluctantly, eat the L from an SWF. But I refuse to accept losses from people staring at their shoes. It's cheating, plain and simple; Survivors are altering the game to give themselves an advantage they are, literally, not supposed to have.
But can it be fixed? Will it be fixed? I just want a dev to at least acknowledge that it's a problem. Or let us know it's being looked at.
Because Killers have such an uphill battle right now, that it's becoming genuinely unfun to play. And stretched res cheating is just the final straw on a camel that's getting flashlight-macred into seizures, twerked on, and then flipped off as the Survivors conga-line out the exit gates while looking at the ground.

Can be fixed, but won't be. Although, we supposedly got a Nurse network code overhaul so I suppose anything is possible.

I suspect the only reason it hasn’t been fixed is because the devs haven’t found a way to do it that didn’t break something. But they have commented now and then that they consider using stretched res to see over objects to be cheating and apparently warned Fog Whisperers not to do it.
I don’t know enough about the technical side so I’m not sure why the game can’t just have a fixed range of aspect ratios. 🤷♂️

Tbf not just survivors can abused it. High level nurses and blights use it keep tracking survivors in fatigue. It definitely needs to be fixed ASAP though

It can absolutely be fixed on the code side. The fact that is hasn't been, means BHVR doesn't care about stretched res cheaters - but then again - there are so many ways to cheat in this game it seems that BHVR might even think cheating is ok.

They could legit just add black bars in.
Evil within had the black bars and had them removed so easily to increase the screen. Other games have too but then BHVR do struggle with things

I remember that one guys said here that you can fix scretch res with literally one button.
He even showed the video about it.

Black bars.

Good remainder^
It's used to track survivors also during pallet breaks and vaults.
In general, it makes difficult for survivors to go unnoticed in your blind spots as well. So, close to the camera but either far below or above the center of the fov.

I do not want to argue this. Add limitations to stretched res by limiting the area of the visible screen.

If it was about editing assets in each map, I think black bars is better solution and less work.

No, that was something about from camera point.

This is your answer

wow.

Yes, that was it

Your point? It's cheating either way; why make it an Us vs Them?
Killer or Survivor; stretched res is cheating and should be fixed.
