Re: i can't play 4:3 resolution on full screen

This post is in regards to the recent changes that effectively disabled the 4:3/5:4 stretched full screen settings in Apex (eg. 1280x1960 and 1440x1080 are still usable but have black bars with reduces the screen fill)

I have played fps since 1996 and I have always used 4:3 and or stretched resolutions. I could go into depth on justifications of why I like to use these resolutions but frankly I will not and should not have to.

To remove this feature is infuriating to me.

I could speculate why this has been done but it would not be accurate as I truly do not know. I have read some replies from posts on this forum but it does not feel like a clear or honest of a response. My guess is that at the heart of the decision is the desire to balance and make the gamer fairer. I commend that such action as with any game that you let humans play, we evolve and exploit the game through meta and progression and reveal its flaws through competitive nature. Sometimes bugs/exploits are revealed in this process and the author editor can step in to adjust/balance to make it more desirable for the majority.

A small part of me believes this may be a shadier ordeal, that in which they wish to force out such old school resolutions and settings out of convenience/resource. They say it was in relation to configging but its * I don't believe it, to make a fantastic game such as this and achieve the amazing things that this game is then to go silent on the whole stretched full screen issue is obvious that it's a reason they probably can't justify.

My request to Respawn is please put the stretched full screen resolution back in the game so I can continue playing your fantastic and amazing game!, and also if on the off chance there is that person on the team whose bright idea it was to remove this or disrupt the stretched rezzers, please tell that person to eat a bag of * from me! 

Sincerely thanks for reading.
