PoE Auto Resizing Resolution on Launch

Hi guys,

Just switched to a 1440p monitor and now, when I start the game, it resizes itself to a custom resolution, and windowed mode:



I can resize it myself to be fullscreen and 1440p, however it will revert back to the settings shown in the above image if I restart the game. This did not happen with my old monitor, however it may be because the hardware can now interact through g-sync etc -- my old monitor was ghetto

Hardware:

https://www.asus.com/nz/Monitors/ROG-SWIFT-PG279Q/]

I have seen a few examples of this issue on the forum, but doesn't appear to be any solution. Any help appreciated.

Thanks,

there is a point in one of the last patch notes that the dx11 implementation is much more restrictive when it comes to fullscreen mode.

which results in the client going back to the default windowed mode if it fails to enter fullscreen mode.

just look up your game's logfile, maybe there is a more detailed error message.

if anything fails, just try windowed fullscreen mode, it also takes the whole screen to display the game.
