Resolution Changed Randomly
I was playing a match as Steve, against Ghostface, on an Autohaven Wreckers map. Got about 1/2 way through the match when randomly my game window shrunk to about 1/4 my screen size, pinned to the corner. I finished the match this way because alt-tabbing and going in and out of full screen didn’t change it. After the match, before getting back to lobby, my game crashed but unfortunately I closed that window and reopened my game. Once I reopened, my game was SUPER crisp(more crisp than before) but dropping a lot of frames. Was there a change to resolution settings in the recent update? I have tried my hardware and graphics driver settings, in game resolution settings, etc but it won’t go back to how it looked or ran before, which was a tad fuzzy because I’m playing on a 4k display but I didn’t mind that.

just had this same bug occur as well as one of my friends experienced it. I play on a 1440p monitor so my game wasn't super small but I kept alt-tabbing out of the game when trying to blink as nurse. Was on shelter woods as well.

I also had this problem! I suddenly have massive frame drops now, please address this BHVR!

Happened to me as well.

Happened to me last night. It looked like the game was playing at 100% resolution but in a tiny window. Toggling fullscreen in the game settings didnt fix it.

An update: The only way to regain my frames is literally turning the game's quality down to the absolute lowest settings. This is some hot BS.

My wife and I are both having this issue, with the resolution randomly changing mid-match for no reason. We're on controller so it's not like we're hitting some kind of weird keyboard combination or anything. It also happened when we weren't even pressing anything, just standing still. What the heck is going on with this?!
Update, my game just dropped to 1 fps in main lobby and then crashed. Here's the error message:

This happened to me as the Onryo on Father Campbells Chapel. I play on a 4K monitor and the game was about 2/3s the size it should be. I didn't experience dropped frames however I did have higher than normal ping, and in the post game lobby after the match ended I received a "Dedicated Server not responding" error which closed the match & endgame chat. Unfortunately I have no way of knowing if all players received this error or if it was just on my end. My game never crashed to desktop but closing and relaunching the game seemed to fix my issue.

I turned off fullscreen and used Alt + Enter to make the screen borderless fullscreen and haven't had issues since so I wonder if it might be related to the fullscreen setting, or perhaps an interaction between the patch and the new Steam update?

I'm having the same issue - was playing a match as The Singularity on Ormond, alt-tabbed out whilst I was waiting for the survivors to leave, tabbed back in and noticed my game was also 1/4 of the size in the corner of my screen and couldn't get it back fullscreen. Restarted the game and ever since I've had the exact same resolution bug where everything is incredibly high quality, almost like all the textures are in 8K.
I too play on a 4K monitor and previously played at 125% resolution (modified in GameUserSettings) on Ultra at 120fps with zero issues, however since my resolution has bugged I now have to play at 65% resolution instead. Now, playing at 100% resolution with the same settings tanks my FPS down to between 60-70 in the lobby alone.
I've tried reinstalling the game, deleting all DBD associated files, updating drivers and nothing has fixed it so far.
I run a RTX 3080 with a Ryzen 9 5950X, if that's helpful information.

Same thing on my end as a Trickster on Lery's. Hoping this information helps find the bug

Same thing happened to me, was playing survivor on Coal Tower. Then suddenly mid-game the resolution changed and took up a quarter of my screen and after reopening the game had serious lags fixed only by switching to the lowest settings. Rebooting the pc and updating graphic drivers didn't help.
2 -
I have to run at the lowest setting with auto adjust because anything higher tanks my FPS, and although my rig isn't the best in the world (GTX 1080 Ti, Ryzen 7 2700X , 32gb RAM, running on solid state drive), it was more than enough to run this game at ultra settings before this patch no problem.

Add me to the list

Considering almost everyone has mentioned hitting Alt + Tab or something along the lines, I'm wondering if there's a conflict between the new Steam update and the patch. I'm pretty sure at some point I checked my achievements around the time this started happening.

This happened to me aswell, guys do any of you have a 4k monitor running with 150% scale?
If you were using 4k and 150% scale, the game was starting at 2k resolution, now it forces you to native 4k.
So if you want the crispyness away you have to sadly set the resolution by yourself to 2k now.
also same thing happened to me with the small window.

I was able to get one round in after the update with the game running optimally. Been playing with graphic settings to find a work around without lowering quality but still nothing.

Which resolution and scale on your apps are you using on your desktop?
1 -
Ever since patch 7.0.0 (7.0.1 still the same issue) came out this has been happening to me via Geforce now. please fix always happens when playing so literally I play one game this happens during the game and exit game as it is way too distracting. This can't be happening for the Anniversary event...please fix before that's released! PLEASE!

I can confirm this exact behaviour - it happens both in EPIC and Steam version under Geforcenow and has not been fixed by 7.0.1

I am using 4k (3840x2160) in Geforcenow on a Mac with a display of the same native resolution. In-game graphics settings of "16:9 Aspect Ratio" is off. This worked fine prior to 7.0.0. Do you think different setting might be a workaround?

Just happened to me as well.
I'm on PC - Epic, playing killer (Singularity) on the new map

Ok, it works fine at HD. Thx for the workaround until it is fixed.

This happened to me too :/ I used to run on Ultra graphics and now I have to play on lowest, and still am losing around 10FPS in the average game when it used to run super smoothly.
1 -
Same thing happened to me I have reported it because I thought it was a bug but it was marked as not a bug and it said it was a "technical issue" even if I restart the game and change the graphics around I don't get above 50 FPS and after a single game I have to restart the game again otherwise I won't get above 15 FPS
1 -
Same Issue here, game randomly resized to windowed mode that couldn't be switched back to full screen. Restarted the game and now I get 20ish fps and lagging/stuttering in game where I used to be at 60fps with no stuttering.

It's not even in the known issues in the patch notes or anything I kid of wonder if this isn't an intended thing to punish the players who uncapped their FPS
1 -
I'm having a similar issue with similar hardware. GPU usage is WAY higher like the game isn't capped at 1080p anymore as far as resolution. Something hasn't been normal with the last 2-3 builds.

No reply from BHVR? This game is unplayable at this moment.

It says on top off the thread: "Acknowledged · Last Updated June 20
Thank you for the reports, we are investigating this issue" - Is this from BHVR?
0 -
Are there any updates regarding this? It still remains an issue over a month later
0 -
I no longer experienced this issue playing in 7.1.0 today. Thank you, BHVR!

still not getting above 30 FPS in games starting to get sad game still looks exactly like it does on ps5 and is super crisp I am going to cry XD

If anyone is still having this issue, I resolved it by going to the game properties in Steam, then adding "-resx=1920 -resy=1080" (without quotation marks) to the Launch Options. Make sure to put your display's resolution.
