    @EA_LeeuwIts the steam overlay that most likely change those settings.
    If i start recording with shadowplay and activate the overlay i can record with my ingame resolution.
    But once i activate steam overlay and then back to the game and try to record using shadowplay again.
    i can see the video is on 480p instead of the 4K resolution i have activated.
    So the culprit is most likely the steam overlay.
    i dont have origin overlay or discord overlay activated only nvidia which doesnt cause any issue and steam.
    Since nvidia doesnt cause this issue while recording its most likely the steam overlay.

    update

    after playing couple of rounds and restarting the game couple of times i havent experienced any resolution reset.

    i advise anyone to turn off any overlay wether its steam origin or discord.

Hey @RaijinFenrir8080 @Gulpee_Rex, cheers for the report!

A few questions:

  • Do you make use of custom Windows (software) resolutions?
  • Are you playing the game on Fullscreen mode?
  • Do you have the same issue if you switch to Borderless or any other mode?
  • When alt-tabbing, do you do this mid-match or in the main menu of the game?
  • When doing it mid-match or in the main menu, does it behave the same?

Same issue on Windows 11 PRO (NVIDIA RTX 2080) - Launching over Steam-Icon on the right Taskbar. Game often starts on 1024x768 (60Hz Fullscreen) instead of 1920x1080 (120Hz Fullscreen). At least no other graphic settings were resettet.
