Stretched Res Discussion:
Comments

I actually saw a video of someone using altered FoV. Not stretched res, but actual increased Field of View on both sides. It looked... interesting.

I read this and I take it to say: Did you ever play Ghostface against a streched-res user?
It feels horrible. Yes, your mechanic is bugged and both sides suffer. But streched-res makes you able to reveal Ghostface from nearly anywhere. Not to mention as a M1 Killer he suffers very much from the ability that a strech-res user can look over walls, blocking every mind-game there is.
Strech-res is cheating. Sadly I can not report it as I can only notice it as Ghostface and even then it could just be his wonky reveal mechanic.

Kind of pointless to discuss because this is almost a political discussion at this point. The people with the strongest opinions haven't actually used it, and the people like myself who have used it and have played competitively on native against 900x1080 users get ignored or get told we're wrong.
It's an advantage but not nearly to the degree that people think. Do you think people with perfect vision over tiles in tournaments would also pre-drop every pallet? No. That would be stupid. Do you think people would use ESP on the survivor side in tournaments and get caught if they could just switch to 900x1080 res and see over everything? No. That would be stupid.
Now, before people weaponize their poor reading comprehension, I have already stated that it's an advantage vs native. It increases your FOV. Ghostface is uniquely affected by it. It doesn't put your FOV on the moon whereas native puts your FOV on the ground. It doesn't delete Nurse fatigue (this is a genuinely dumb one).
Most importantly, it's not the reason people are losing regular matches. Stop looking for excuses and make an effort to improve. You'll thank yourself.

It's really such a BHVR thing to say "It's an exploit but we won't ban for it" That's the kind of inaction I really expect from them with regards to any exploit or hacker.
I don't think anyone can debate that it's called an exploit, that it gives an unfair advantage and isn't intended, and then go on to try to justify it when it's the definition of an exploit and should be bannable. Just scummy players trying to get an advantage in a game like DBD attempting to pretend it's not a big deal. Shocking.

Which means it's cheating. People are exploiting an oversight to gain an advantage they are not meant to have. Thus; cheating. I don't get why people can't understand this basic concept. A 5 year old can understand what cheating is, so I don't uderstand all the morons on here using verbal acrobatics the Olympics would give them a gold medal for.
Ok, that's not true; I know exactly why idiots are pretending cheating is not cheating; they want to act like they're as good as their cheating boosts them. They don't want to admit they suck, and that they're being carried by cheating. Hence the verbal acrobatics.
But people can deflect all they want; Using stretched res to see things you're not supposed to see is cheating. Anyone saying otherwise is a cheater who uses it. End of story. Opposing viewpoints need not apply, because they are factually wrong.

They could take action if they wanted. Tons of people stream with stretched res, thus literally proving they are cheating. Ban them. If it's cheating (which it is) and not allowed, then why not ban the people you can prove are using it? IE Comp players who stream. If you streamed with a cheat program, they'd ban you. It wouldn't stop it but it would remove some and also cause people to be afraid to do it since now actual people have been banned. Behavior just likes to take the "We tried nothing and we're all out of ideas!!!" path

Uh... yes it does, u can see the Mickey coming from 10 lightyears away when you wouldn't have even known that he was there

Well that is EASY bait to detect, but his post... the sad part is i can believe that there are some people who don't think it's a problem

Don't bother; anyone defending stretched res is a user of it and wants to deny it's benefits so they don't get caught. They also want to pretend their abuse of a cheat to boost themselves is actually their own skill.
Kind of like how, in the early 2000's, cheaters tried to claim their aimbots were actually due to great headsets/a 'gaming chair' and their own skill. Hence the 'gaming chair' memes.

It’s not the main reason people lose matches, it’s a supporting reason though. And it’s still cheating.

Behaviour has never said they won’t ban for stretched rez. But they don’t ban unless someone makes an ingame report with an attached video file, and it’s kind of impossible to show from your own point of view in a game that someone else is using stretched rez. So it’s a catch-22, they would probably ban someone for it if you could prove it in your own ingame report, but good luck proving it that way.
Ultimately unless Behaviour does something like lock the aspect ratio of the game to prevent absurd ratios from being used to see over things it’s not going to go away. Hypothetically they could change their customer service policy to allow bans based on Twitch streams possibly, but I imagine that could open a whole other can of worms.

So, again, this is why I think the discussion is completely pointless. What are we even talking about then? Someone can say "it gives an advantage" and your reply is "See! I told you it was cheating!" The devs are already on the record stating that they believe it's cheating. Half of these replies are countering an argument people aren't even trying to make.

I think this equals cheating and is lame. Like DCing. Used by loosers.
Lack of sportsmanship and honor. But people will still use it and won´t get why it is wrong.

From personal experience playing against full squads on truly heinous resolution, nothing will replace running tiles correctly and efficiently as a killer. A survivor on native resolution can defeat mindgames with proper positioning much the same way someone on stretched can delete the mindgame entirely in some instances. Your best bet is to always force the pallet down as quickly as possible if the survivor is that good or on stretched

Strech res is not bannable because there is way to check if its being used as an exploit, HOWERVER BHVR should put effort into preventing the game from allowing strech res to work the way it currently does.
and also, it dosent matter if its survivor or killer, strech res is cheating, and if you use it, you are relying on a crutch that was not intended for the game.

Why stretch res equals survivor?
Killers using stretch res too.

I feel like he should be revealed only when there is nothing beetween him and the survivor revealing, so the survivor can not use the third person for advantage.
