I'm trying to run tf2 at 2k resolution but it only allows me to select up to 1080p. I am using a dual monitor setup with an hd and a qhd monitor with the hd monitor as the default monitor. AMD Radeon 7800 XT and Arch btw. Doesnt work with launch options either. I am using hyprland if that helps.

Does launching with -displayindex 1 help at all?
late estuary
already trying that. ill post my launch options
-w 2560 -h 1440 -displayindex 1 -novid -nojoy -nosteamcontroller -nohltv -particles 1 -vulkan

If you want a shitty hacky solution you can try changing the width and height in videoconfig_linux.txt and then make it read only
and remove the -w and -h launch options of course
late estuary
is that file supposed to be empty?
silent glade
Maybe it's just called videoconfig.txt instead of videoconfig_linux.txt?
I'm not a linux user so you'll have to forgive me
but there should be some file in your tf folder that has the video config
I guess it might have .cfg extension instead of .txt sorry

wait a moment

As far as I remember if you put a width and height in there and then deny yourself the ability to modify the file you can coax tf2 into using a resolution it would otherwise disallow
Might not work in all situations though

im having critical amounts of bash failures rn
okay i guess my path was wrong even though it wasnt?
well now the window starts with a black border on the bottom and right and mouse input is offset to within the real resolution
but when I drop the window into tiled mode it fixes itself
mint plazaBOT

dxvk issues I guess

even with opengl

I saw a comment on reddit saying someone fixed the same problem you're having by setting the 1440p monitor as primary with xrandr
even though they're using wayland
xrandr --output [screen name] --primary
late estuary
is that a system wide command?
silent glade
xrandr is just a program but I think the answer to what you mean would be yes
late estuary
well
silent glade
but it's primarily useful on xorg
late estuary
that would probably conflict with my hyprland config
late estuary
since i have it manually set for my monitors
late estuary
i also looked at that issue but when i tried gamescope it would crash upon starting tf2
silent glade
That comment is suggesting a solution alternative to gamescope
late estuary
I don't have a screenshot tool for my desktop lol
This is after using xrandr
strangely when it was loading it was at the correct resolution
simple surge
best guess is going r/archlinux or r/linux_gaming
