Can’t change resolution

[queen grove]

I play Balatro on steam, and use cloud saves between my devices. I had no problems going between my pc and my steam deck, I could change my res back and forth with no issues. Once I installed in on my Mac and started playing on there as well, the res is stuck at 1440p on all of my devices, and I can’t change it on any. Changing between full screen/borderless/windowed does not change anything. Toggling VSync on and off also does not change anything.

I’ve been just sucking it up and playing with fuzzy graphics, but the performance on the steam deck is pretty rough.

A common fix I’ve seen was to go to the .exe file and go to properties and then compatibility, but I don’t see that tab with my pc and windows 11, and haven’t seen much for the steam deck in terms of troubleshooting options. I haven’t seen anyone post about a similar issue, so I figured I’d post here to see if anyone has any suggestions! Thank you!!

seems like a driver issue as the game isn't exactly recognising your display

display monitor should say 1

and with fullscreen you should be able to change resolution

check if your drivers are up to date

Yeah I was confused about why it said nil, that popped up after playing on my Mac where I have multiple monitors, so I moved it around with that. I only run one monitor on my pc, and use the built in screen only for the steam deck, it seems my drivers are up to date

I found the fix, it’s janky, but the problem lies in putting the “Display Monitor” as anything other than 1, and then logging into a single screen device. That’s where the “nil” screen setting came from. So just switch back to 1 before closing. Annoying, but doable
