    Hello, I am wondering why it won't let me change my games settings from1080p to 1440p. It resets after I go to change it from 1920x1080 and goes back down to 800x600 and not up to 2560x1440. Is there a way to fix this or force 1440p? I think the issue arises from my old monitor being 1080p so my settings are locked to not go past that, so if anyone has a solution, please let me know.

        Fornata all plutonium games (nothing else though) is stuck at 1080p even though I am on a 1440p monitor (AOC Agon Pro AG276QZD2). I have tried everything from config file editing to changing r_mode via the console and nothing works. I made a YouTube video showing the problem but I don't have enough rep to post it.

            Zombietista that did not work either. I have made a youtube video of the problem but you will have to make the link into one since I can't add links "https" and "://youtu.be/4kKN0gg0wqU"

                There is no overclocking on my monitor. I don't know what you are talking about, please let me know what to change. I also just installed direct X and now for some reason when I try to change the display settings it sets it to 1600x1050 or something similar as the max but I don't click save so idk why it wont let me go to 2560x1440.

                              Xerxes how did u get it to go to that (not sure if ur post was sarcasm saying it doesn't work on display port)? I have a rtx 3080 so I don't have the AMD software tho.

                                If you have an NVIDIA GPU check your control panel or the Nvidia App. If you have an AMD GPU check the AMD Software/AMD Adrenalin.

                                  Hello, I found a fix for this problem.
                                  I searched everywhere but didn't find a fix but to use Windowed (Fullscreen).
                                  Here is a full fix:

                                  1: download Custom Resolution Utility (CRU)
                                  2: extract and run CRU.exe
                                  3: delete all unused Resolutions (all Established resolutions, all Standard resolutions)
                                  4: ALSO delete all TV resolutions in Extension blocks (I removed Audio stuff too because I don´t use it)
                                  5: If you have another Monitor connected to the same things for it.
                                  6: run restart64.exe from the same folder (this restarts the driver)
                                  Example:
                                  Screenshot 2025-04-22 005911.png

                                  after doing this I can select 2560x1440 in Fullscreen 🙂
                                  I hope that I helped somebody with this

                                        Fornata I tried that a while ago and it did not work. The only thing that worked was Trirad56 's solution to the problem so shout out to them! Also Trirad56 I do not recommend deleting everything since now my monitor will not go to sleep mode after I turn my PC off, I have to manually power it off now. I will probably just reset it and then when I want to play plutonium just delete the bad resolutions. Also for some reason the program won't let me make a 240 hz 1440p resolution, I had to do it in the Nvidia Control Pannel but the app let me remove the 1080p stuff so it worked and I cannot complain!

Also Trirad56 I do not recommend deleting everything since now my monitor will not go to sleep mode after I turn my PC off, I have to manually power it off now. I will probably just reset it and then when I want to play plutonium just delete the bad resolutions. Also for some reason the program won't let me make a 240 hz 1440p resolution, I had to do it in the Nvidia Control Pannel but the app let me remove the 1080p stuff so it worked and I cannot complain!
