PC - Incorrect Resolution Is Used (High DPI Scaling Issue)

Description

When playing on PC, changing the monitor scaling in Windows causes the resolution to change based on the scaling. For example: If you are running a 2160p monitor at 200% scaling, the in-game resolution will be 1080p (including 3D and UI); on the other hand, if you change the scaling to 100%, it works as expected.

How to Reproduce

  1. Launch the Game
  2. Open Display Settings in Windows
  3. Change your Scale and Layout percentage
  4. Dead by Daylight will change resolutions


I hope this gets fixed because switching from 125% scaling to 100% scaling every time I play will be a hassle. Thanks!

    Since this issue has not been resolved yet, and there seems to be no acknowledgment of its existence, I built a simple windows app to warn me if my DPI is not set to 100% when I launch Dead by Daylight.

    This software is provided as-is, but I will continue to work on it if anyone else wants to use it.
