  • In this video I show you how to play stretched resolution in Apex Legends season 19 in 2023. I show you all of the best stretched resolutions, how to use 4:3 1440x1080 with no black bars, as well as any other resolution you want to play. I also show you how to properly display scale your stretched res with CRU for less input delay. (open for more info)

  • @kbpls1479
    @kbpls1479 Před 6 měsíci +3

    im pretty sure you can make multiple profiles in cru and just have everything display scaled. For ex. you can have apex be 1728x1080 and csgo 1920x1080 (or any other res) and have both properly display scaled as long as you have both in your extension block
    you can also confirm that the display scale is working because if you go to advanced display scaling, your Desktop resolution and Active signal resolution should be the same. KajzerD has a good explanation and tutorial

      @@realxrukrwrld I figured it out I had the same problem and did some trouble shooting of my own. This is a problem due to windows 11 I believe, and windows 11's way of changing file name extensions. Go into your file explorer> go to view at the top> show> file name extension> from there you find the file that SHOULD be named autoexec.cfg.txt delete the txt at the end and hit yes. Essentially, windows 11 cause for you to never ACTUALLY change your file type so you have to use the roundabout way to do it.

    @wickedsolitude766 Před 12 dny

    Sometimes the launch properties get deleted after an update, you will not be able to type in the entire launch properties before EA app stops you from typing everything. THE ONLY WAY to fix this is by using CTRL C to copy and CTRL V to paste into launch properties. You cannot highlight copy right click paste, it will not give you any options when you right click to paste. Again you MUST use CTRL C and CTRL V to re apply launch options. I am certain many people will come across this issue, glad to have found a simple fix

    Yo @complys I need some help, hopefully you see this! To preface I am a hardcore player and know more than the average optimization junky and I can't for the life of me figure out how to fix my issue.
    For some reason when I set my stretched rez to 1680x1050 360hz in the Nvidia control panel (I have the 360hz 24.5in Zowie BenQ) with all of the correct panel settings and launch options then load into Apex my monitors refresh rate changes from 360hz to 240hz. This ONLY occurs when I load Apex, otherwise the refresh rate stays 360hz.
    I cap my fps using RTSS and +fps_0 at 240hz but when I use any other resolution my MONITORS refresh rate will remain 360hz when I load Apex.
    I've tried many fixes such as creating a custom 1680x1050 rez that can only access 359hz and making it my monitors base rez but even then the refresh rate drops from 360hz to 240hz once Apex is launched. Any fixes, ideas, or known issues you may know would be awesome my guy!

    The game launches in windowed mode when using a resolultion less than 1280x1080 (for example 1080x1080) and won't let me alt+enter to allow a fullscreen resolution. Seems to only happen on the EA app, any fix for this?

      i just tried 800x1080 and launched from ea just fine, make sure in your video config you have both of these set "setting.nowindowborder" "0"
      "setting.fullscreen" "1" and let me know if that launches the game in fullscreen

      ​@@leam3901 does it happen if you use gpu scaling instead?

      @@v0HaVoK0v Yea, still happens. It's like when I go past that threshold, it makes it windowed, and does not allow me to even use the alt+enter shortcut it will instead just void the alt ket. but it only happens when doing the shortcut otherwise, alt key works like intented.

    the option to customize my res is greyed out of the nividea control panel. and i know you need to disable dsr factors in 3d settings, which I did on my old monitor and it worked. But now that I'm on my new monitor, the customize res option is again greyed out, but this time, dsr factors won't even show up. help.
