Summarize your bug General problem, not in specific part of the game or mode. I play Battlefield 2042 on 3840x2160. I use ALT + TAB sometimes to check Discord etc. When I launch Battlefield 2042 the next time, the resolution has been reset sometimes to the lowest available resolution. I have to change this in the option menu to 3840x2160 again.
How often does the bug occur? Occasionally (10% - 49%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? 1. Play Battlefield 2042 on 3840x2160. 2. Try to ALT + TAB sometimes (I don't know if this triggers this bug). 3. Close Battlefield 2042. 4. Launch Battlefield 2042. 5. The resolution has been changed to the lowest available (sometimes).
What happens when the bug occurs? The resolution has been changed (by Battlefield 2042 itself) to the lowest available resolution.
What should be happening instead? No resolution reset, use the saved resolution (3840x2160 in my case)

@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.
