Can't play killer while stretched res exists

Use killers that are good at chase like Nurse or ignore it like Hag until it's fixed is my only possible advice.

It doesn't remove anything. This is factually false and easily tested in a custom lobby. I suggest you stop listening to whiny content creators and do check it for yourself.

Stretched doesn't raise the camera, which is the deciding factor and is unaffected by res. If the survivor is hugging the loop, if they can see the killer on stretched, then they can as well on native and vice versa.

On the other hand, stretched does favor killers' pov when breaking pallets, vaulting, against 360s, during Nurse/Legion fatigue, etc. It can even give built-in lightborne for some obscure reasons.

What kind of delusional thought process do you need to think that an extended field of view isn't an advantage? The ability to see killers over obstacles which you shouldn't be able to see killers over is an advantage no matter how blatantly ignorant you are of the obvious.

I can't tell if you're lacking logic or just making Fruedian slips left and right. Right off the bat you relate stretched rez to being able to see across the map which wasn't in the post you were replying to so it's your own thought process. And then you imply being able to see across the map isn't an advantage which is clearly ridiculous. Then the next statement is event worse. I'm sure you meant to type "the survivor still can't see the killer" but accidently typed out the truth with "can see" as has been proven numerous times before. Then you say there's zero advantage which again clearly isn't the case. And to sum it up, you go full Simple Jack and imply that a pvp game isn't competitive.

So much butt hurted survivor mains here lol. Its incredible how people defend this kind of things. Getting unfair advantages in games that you aren't supposed to get is cheating and should be an immediate ban.

If you like cheating on games then go back to CSgo, there is plenty of cheaters there that will have the same opinion than you. Here in DBD is another history..

The community may be toxic, but almost everyone agree that cheating don't have a place here and luckily the dev team thinks the same and with their efforts through this years and the anticheat system we have a fairly protection behind the game. Of course it can be improved, but you don't see other companies improving so much in little time about cheating like that this days, most games only cares about money and have serious cheating problems *cough cough, PUBG, cough cough CSgo, cough cough Rust*

All right, allow me to try to explain this a bit more in depth.

Stretched resolution results from the player's computer requesting graphic information from the game for something other than the standard 16:9 aspect ratio. What they're usually requesting is for a 4:3 aspect ratio which has a greater height requirement than a 16:9 ratio. In order to make it easier for the display, the game offers extra vertical information so that the graphical information sent fits more smoothly for the 4:3 ratio. However, since people request 4:3 displays are actually most often using 16:9 monitors the recieved graphical information is then modified by the computer to fit a 16:9 monitor. This is done by certain vertical pixels being ignored or mixed by the display resulting in the squished flat appearance that you can see from example pictures.

In order to solve the issue at hand, when the player's computer requests the 4:3 aspect ratio, the game should send them the 16:9 visuals regardless. Because of how many manipulative steps stretched rez users need to get stretched rez, this would probly cause most of their displays to error out. But for the few that worked, it would comedically result in the game putting extra strain on the computer in order to compute the extra made up rows of pixels needed to be added to fit a 4:3 ratio to match default information for a 16:9 view that then gets sent to the display converter which then uses even more computation to delete/mix extra rows of pixels to be able to use 4:3 information on a 16:9 screen. And for the very rare occurences of people that are actually using 4:3 monitors, this would just make their displays look vertical stretched out; essentially the reverse of how stretched rez abusers have displays that looked vertically squished.

btw because that guy up there took screenshots making it look like normal resolution loop covers all screen, here's the full clip not manipulated :)

What he tried to make it look like:

How it really is:

anyone upvoting that guy never played survivor apparently

I really liked one special moment he went around a tree on a loop (on cowshed, the one with the trailer and a big tree on the end), got "mindgamed" bc the huntress hid her red light and he said that he could have played this better with stretched res like all these tryhards. Or that he can look over these hills with stretched res. He doesnt really understand how this works but acts like he knows it all (like usual).

Stretched res shouldnt be a thing, just like using reshade to lighten up the game to spot survivors easier or a crosshair for gunslinger. But I dont think that all of these issues are going to be adressed any time soon or at all.

when diid I say edit lol he just took it a second before. In the clip the streamer is first looking down then up, this guy took it from the down view.

Another one who didnt watch the clip good

yknow, biased killer mains who get outplayed and call it a cheat

I wanted to point out something I've seen on these forums in recent days. There are arguments over whether or not stretched res is or isn't cheating, and I think people are failing to realize when they argue they are talking about two different, distinct things. Specifically, I've seen stretched res used as a term to describe both of the following.

1. Modifying the display settings, which does not impact the game play at all, just how it is presented to you.
2. Modifying the in game camera such that the the vertical axis covers x more degrees than it normally does.

The later of these is definitely cheating. If you don't believe it is, I'd advise you to think about how Shadowborn is a perk whose sole benefit is widening the killer's view by a certain amount of degrees. The second definition is literally doing just so as a survivor by modifying the game files, and would therefore be considered having an unfair advantage through cheating. I admit when I first heard about this, I thought that people were talking about the first definition given because honestly, I think stretched res more accurately describes it. Regardless, in the future I hope this sheds a little light onto whats going on, and how "stretching the resolution" is clearly a form of cheating.
