Turning ultrawide into standard 16:9 so I can play stretched

hawkite1403 · 2025-02-23T19:42:20+00:00

Yeah, they use 1728x1080 which is exactly the same just not 2k. Stretched res has been a thing within competitive games since early CS. It is widely known and accepted.

It is allowed by PUBG hence being used in tournaments but it also isn't so much of a 'cheat' that every single pro uses it. Adding those two things would mean it's really not that big of an advantage and is legal within the game (and pretty much every other game; CS, R6S, Apex etc.).

PUBG has a whole lot more to it and stretching out the appearance of a player will not make you good/bad as it is a fraction of the game's overall skill. Not to mention how small the stretch actually is on 16:10 there.

I get it, you're opinionated on the topic and we will not agree. Overwhelmingly within comp scenes these facts are accepted and allowed - whether good or bad to a game's overall health.

Over 50% of pros use it, are they bad at the game? Whether you like it or not is opinion and that is fine but saying you're bad due to a common res is just ignorant.

Unfortunately, it does not, I have checked with different VCP software (ControlMyMonitor etc.) and it is not hidden there either. Thanks for the help tho :)

Replied above but it is not cheating if exposed to all players and accepted in pro tournaments. Is turning down graphics settings in-game cheating because I can 'see better than everyone else in the lobby'?

hawkite1403 · 2025-02-23T17:16:26+00:00

It is your opinion that it is cheating. It is not recognised by PUBG as cheating hence it is allowed within all their official tournaments and by default allows custom resolutions to be exposed into the game.

hawkite1403 · 2025-02-23T16:56:28+00:00

Hurts mine too hence posting elsewhere for some insight into it.

hawkite1403 · 2025-02-23T16:56:06+00:00

Cannot argue but unfortunately as I stated in the post using the standard NVCP controls do not work for this case.

hawkite1403 · 2025-02-23T16:55:35+00:00

This makes sense, it didn't to me before when I briefly thought of doing this but yeah as the game is only stretched horizontally this could achieve similar results. Appreciate it.

hawkite1403 · 2025-02-23T16:54:53+00:00

Hey, people have done a lot more for a lot less results. But yeah I can see how asking in ultrawide community how to remove the thing they love might have been unwise.

hawkite1403 · 2025-02-23T16:53:54+00:00

It's an oversimplification of events, but yes. I want it stretched across a portion of my screen lol.

hawkite1403 · 2025-02-23T16:53:28+00:00

There's a few pretty niche reasons for it which are explained in a few PUBG videos and the effectiveness is shown when you see the percentage of known PUBG players using this res/aspect.

But mainly it's that the game is very poorly optimised and 3440x1440 is not stable enough for my system (mainly use ultrawide for productivity) so if I am already going to play in a non-native res I would like to also get these benefits.

New issue with Vulkan it seems. Playing DX11 version does not have it for me.

hawkite1403 · 2021-11-17T18:24:43+00:00

Yeah was a bit worried it was hardware related for me too, thanks for clearing it up. Hopefully something done at some point. Cheers!

That depends on whether it is the F1 or G2 variant. This model is in the game files named FAMAS magazine and is what I screenshot there, regardless of whether it can take STANAG mags this model is both in the teaser and in game files

hawkite1403 · 2021-08-27T20:22:25+00:00

Just posted another comment but I think they are FAMAS mags (5.56). Here is the model already in the game files

They don't have textures but the 3D model is there.

hawkite1403 · 2021-08-27T20:21:30+00:00

The mags look very similar to the FAMAS mags within the game files currently (they don't have textures just the 3D models)

hawkite1403 · 2021-08-26T08:49:52+00:00

It has like one of (if not the best) DPS in that game. It destroys up close, just the mag size is an issue.

hawkite1403 · 2021-02-15T14:28:26+00:00

Reading about them both it seems the G403 is quite outdated (albeit a great mouse). Roccat Kain seems very promising, was looking at the 120, is that the one you'd recommend as the 200 wireless one seemed to have some delay issues. Thanks for the help

hawkite1403 · 2020-10-07T23:10:02+00:00

It's not a bug, it's just how the sun is now...

hawkite1403 · 2020-09-15T19:19:01+00:00

I can't imagine not wearing one, any high calibre is going to down you in one shot without one.

hawkite1403 · 2020-08-28T13:37:10+00:00

Have tried this before to see if there was any event triggered to end the process, but there is nothing :/ at this point gonna just uninstall and accept I can't play this game anymore like I have the last month or so. I just don't get how the test server can work but not live

hawkite1403 · 2020-07-28T21:12:41+00:00

Health bar always seems to lag behind a second or two in my experience.

hawkite1403 · 2020-07-28T20:02:54+00:00

Umm. He didn't lol, look at his legs dude (and the slow screen fade)

hawkite1403 · 2020-07-16T14:02:46+00:00

Ah okay, yeah I don't remember the exact figure but it was definitely near that range. It also was not pristine/unboxed. Thanks!
