Bug #5691

Game Resolution Altered After Disabling Gamescope

Status:	Open
Priority:	Medium
Added by:	Anonymous on July 24, '26
Assigned to:	Unassigned
Due date:
Reported for:	10.0.3 Auto
Actual Result:	Game boots completely messed up with the resolution, seeming to be almost a 9:16 aspect ratio
Expected Result:	The game booting in a standard 32:9 aspect ratio
Severity:	Blocker
Reproducibility:	Always
Platform:	Steam
Additional Notes & Comments:	Not set

Steps to Reproduce

1. Be on Linux Running KDE Plasma
2. Run DBD with gamescope to force it into a 2560 - 1440 resolution
3. Remove the launch arguments
4. After booting up the game, fullscreen will now be, no matter what resolution is set to, a 1440x2560 resolution

Explanation

For some reason, after disabling gamescope on my Dead By Daylight install to report another bug just to make sure it wasn't an issue of my gamescope or not (I have been dropping inputs exclusively in dbd) I now, load up into dbd, not using the correct resolution, and it is being squished into what I believe is a 19:6 resolution?
