I’m unable to set my native 5120x2880 resolution in fullscreen mode in various newer UE4-games, like Fade to Silence, OVERKILL’s The Walking Dead, Life is Strange 2, What Remains of Edith Finch. It automaticly switches to 2560x1440.
I am able to run 5K in windowd and borderless window mode, but SLI give lower perf. that way.
Older UE4-games like, Inner Chains, Agony and many more are working without any problems.
The monitor in this case Philips Brilliance 275P4VYKEB/00, uses multistream transport ie acting as two on two displayport connections, so only rendering with one as 2560x1440 is just the halve?
OS is windows 10, 1903, build 18908rs.
GPU’s 2x2080Ti.
I tried to disable fullscreen optimizations, but that seems to be impossible for these games, FSO continiue to be active
The fact is, the res. is given in the menu, but isn’t accepted, it switched back to 2560x1440, which let me believe there is a bug involved with mst devices. Earlier UE4 games acted the same for a while…
Editing ini settings didn’t help.
Single GPU is the same, plugging one displayport cable off, changed it a bit, ie I can select some resultions, so I really believe it lies in the behavior of the later engine updates, 4.17 and older, as former builds don’t have this issue. I hope someone will take the effort to look at it again, despite the small userbase.
Thanks, but I did this and one from the “Draugen” developers said available resolutions will be generated/read from the engine, which read it from Windows?:
It’s also not a coincidence all the latest UE4-games act this way? Could it be WDM acting wrong?
The list of available resolutions are different if you are in Full Screen and Windowed Full Screen. If the game is only able to use the Windowed Full Screen the list of available resolutions will be shorter than otherwise. If the game can’t use the Full Screen mode, you need to contact the game developer.
Epic will never touch someone’s else developed product or interfere, since this is not ethical.
Well, in some games, Life is Strange 2, the list for fullscreen does appear, but it won’t accepted, it reverts to a standard res like 2560x1440 or 1600x900, infact in that game and a few, no fullscreen resolution does accepted ever, it revert always back. At the very beginning of Unreal Tournamen Alpha, it acted also like that. As if high dpi is rejected, though I have High DPI-scaling ignored in the app properties.
Well, I will try to get help from a dev. but it seems not many have the time or are intrested. Offcourse the fact this is not widely used hardware is not in my advance.
btw, the are my game user.ini settings for Life is Strange 2 for example:
I get almost no reaction from any developer. I have iron it out on UE4-versions from 4.16 and higher. All games made with 4.16 and higher act like this on my machine (at least 6 on my HD), that’s not a coincidence, and I don’t mean its intended by anyone, but a common bug. I’m a long time enthousiast UE-user from the days of Unreal1 and it’s a pitty that’s it going this way.
The engine reads the available resolutions for the primary monitor. If your thing pretends to be 2 monitors, it won’t work (obviously). Most developers are going to use whatever the engine says is available, so this really doesn’t concern them (it would make no sense for lots of individual developers to change the same thing in the engine).
If you’re really sure this has worked in older engine versions, try submitting a bug report.
^ Yes older versions, V 4.15 and older, are working flawnessley. I already subit this bug a few weeks ago, here Unreal Engine Community
but haven’t got a response.
