Devs, is stretched resolution an exploit?

Fixing the stretched resolution is going to be one of the hardest things to fix in this game, I think is so hard they are going to need something outside of the box to fix it like making high wall loops infinitely high or something like that.

Coding is not sitting on a chair and stuff starts working by itself, some problems are extremely hard to fix or impossible.

Just make the tall objects in the game even taller :D

No, you can still provide any video clips etc, just no logs due to the nature of your platform.

The post was mainly there to show that they need the community to help provide logs/clips etc of the bug because its not replicatable in-studio.

To answer this seriously: it is 100% on BHVR to fix resolution scaling on their end. This is a problem entirely of their own making. Users aren't altering game files to do this. They're just creating a custom desktop resolution and launching the game. Somehow the game adds vertical FOV when you stretch. I can't think of another game that does that. Some people have ultra-wide monitors or 4:3 monitors, so you can't just ban certain resolutions. It can't tell what your native resolution is, only what it's being told to display at.

I suppose it's hard to replicate because there are probably certain conditions that have to be met.

A video could help them to find those specific conditions

Damn dude, still on about J-Flicks?

All they would need is to redo the sound scrip not the entire game.

Please, point me to the code of the game and provide a simple fix to the resolution scaling that would leave the remainder in-tact and not break 30 other unrelated components of the game. If you can't do that, forgive me for not believing you that it isn't """complex"""

But yes, I'm well aware that it's not their priotity. They said so themselves, as I told OP in my first comment on this post.

Please, do some reading :)

I think the big aspect of it too is that this game is made with unreal engine. Which gives you so many free things that much of what people might think is difficult is actually extremely easy. Resolution handling being one of them.

Not necessarily; you can just change the displayed resolution on your monitor to achieve the same effect.

This, obviously, doesn't make it any less of an exploit. It still should be fixed.

Honestly, I can't really give an answer for it. It's a nice feature to have, because it allows you to use customised icons/portraits (which BHVR could make a fortune off of selling in the store) but at the same time allows you to change graphical options to a better setting then the presets of "Low", "Medium", "High", and "Ultra"- like, for me, my eyesight is awful so I'd have to play on Low settings normally, otherwise I wouldn't be able to see anything, but being able to change the files let's me keep shadows on low and have other things higher so the game looks nicer.

This wouldn't be a thing if the game had proper graphical settings, but unfortuantely it doesn't, so I have to resort to this.

And being able to edit these files also allows other... less innocent graphic adjustments, such as making the red stain brighter, or removing fog.

Hopefully, they'll implement the better graphics options (planned for later this year) and then lock the .ini files.

Does being able to change the quality of the graphics (low, med, etc) have an effect on framerate? If so console badly profusely needs those options.

Also all this does not give me the warm & fuzzies when it comes to "we all are playing the same game no worries Crossplay is fair" argument I see thrown my way at times.

the custom perk icons/character portraits are located in a seperate directory to the .ini engine files, so if they were to lock the .ini files it'd have no impact on custom packs, thankfully

Aight bestie here's the proof:

I changed my monitor settings to 1440*1080, and here were the results:

But please tell me that it doesn't apply a stretch.

And yeah, this was minimal. I know some people that play on 1080*1080, or even 500*1080

Edit: there was apparently an issue with the screenshots, I'll try and upload the raw footage (just know there won't be any sound to it)

Double edit: my editing software is also giving me the same issue where it squishes it down, best thing I could do for you would be to stream on Discord or something.

Still going with this? I thought you were long done lol.

This is a stupid take.

You can no longer critique any movie because you aren't a director.

You can no longer critique someone's acting because you aren't an actor.

You can no longer say anything negative about government decisions because you aren't a government employee.

So on and so forth. See how bad this argument is? It doesn't take a genius to realize not fixing certain bugs (trust me, this isn't the only big that should've been dealt with lmao) after YEARS, isn't a good thing. Even from the perspective of other developers/coders, BHVR should be doing much better than they are currently. I don't know if it's the higher ups failing the game in this department or the developers themselves; something has to change.

You're not likely to get a straight answer, the developer team is probably arguing amongst themselves and it would be unethical for one of them to make their thoughts known before they come to an official conclusion. At that point they'd probably release an official statement.

Well I don't know what a CM is but that sounds like an expectedly noncommittal answer.
