A Fix for Stretched Screen/Improper Resolution Display

Hello Everyone.  I just downloaded the game to see how it is now.  Immediately after a normal installation process, my game was running well except the resolution was off.  Even though my default settings of my desktop and game were matching at 1920x1080, the game was stretched and distorted.  I googled answers to this and tried several fixes offered in these forums and elsewhere.  None of them worked.  I was able to fix it eventually.

I had another display plugged in the default hdmi port for my graphics card and my monitor plugged into a vga to hdmi adapter.  I think the game defaults to whatever device is plugged into the primary hdmi port instead of whatever port the monitor is plugged into.  I unplugged that device, plugged my monitor into my graphics card's hdmi port, and the resolution in-game fixed itself.

I saw some people in the past have this issue and couldn't find a fix so here's this information in case it helps.

  • @llsorrinll Hey there, out of curiosity does pressing ALT+ENTER end up fixing the resolution for you? If not, I'd suggest posting a DxDiag per this post so we can take a look.

    Edit: Apparently I misread this post, my apologies. Thanks for the information.
