Games stuck on 1080p after uprading to 1440p monitor
-
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:
after doing this I can select 2560x1440 in Fullscreen
I hope that I helped somebody with this -
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.

Hothead69 you reinstalled plutonium?
this pc>local disc (c)>users>your pc name>appdata>local>Plutonium
then delete it then reinstall plutonium again and check problem fixed or noFornata 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!

I hope that I helped somebody with thisEveryone needs to see this post from Trirad56. After trying every "fix" on the internet, this CRU method is the only one that works. Absolute legend.
Confirmed working in 2025/2026.
Thank you Trirad.

Trirad56 I tried using the CRU thing and I deleted all the Standard Resolutions. Now the game won't run.
EDIT: Got the game to run, but still no resolution fix
jorokaser I had this problem before you delete all the detailed resolutions that you're not using that are below your refresh rate than open restart.exe and it should let your game run at 1440P resolution.
