- In this video I show you how to play stretched resolution in Apex Legends season 19 in 2023. I show you all of the best stretched resolutions, how to use 4:3 1440x1080 with no black bars, as well as any other resolution you want to play. I also show you how to properly display scale your stretched res with CRU for less input delay. (open for more info)

Appreciate the tips, I was annoyed with the blurriness from 1728x1080 even with settings turned up. Much love complys
the nvidia sharpening helped a ton on 1728x1080 when i was using, makes it so much more clear
@@complysdo you know why my game still looks blurry on 16:10 regardless if i put .30 or .50 on image sharpening? Its like it doesnt do anything and reverts to nvidia recommended
@@DannyHeadshot1just make sure it change. It does say nvida recommended but just make sure it goes to the setting that u want it to be.
turn off anti-aliasing on apex
Sometimes the launch properties get deleted after an update, you will not be able to type in the entire launch properties before EA app stops you from typing everything. THE ONLY WAY to fix this is by using CTRL C to copy and CTRL V to paste into launch properties. You cannot highlight copy right click paste, it will not give you any options when you right click to paste. Again you MUST use CTRL C and CTRL V to re apply launch options. I am certain many people will come across this issue, glad to have found a simple fix
For me it doesnt have the option to add a new text document for the cfg file only a folder can bbe added, nothing is there too
UPDATE: you can try to enter in your monitors native refresh rate if its not showing up in CRU when you are creating your new res, but it doesnt work for every res, mostly just the really low ones
updating my stretched res guide from a couple years ago since i still get questions and comments on. if you guys need help with anything please leave a comment! ill have an fps boost guide out next week or so and couple more optimization vids. i figure if I don't play anymore I could still help you guys out with other stuff. timestamps 0:00 intro and explaining stretched, 1:43 nvidia control panel, 3:30 normal 16x10 resolutions, 4:51 4x3 1440x1080 or any other res, 7:26 fixing wrong scale of the ui, 8:16 custom resolution utility display scaling method, 11:57 normal 16x10 stretched resolutions display scaled, 12:58 4x3 1440x1080 or any other res display scaled, 15:59 fixing ui on extra stretched res, 16:37 monitor settings, 17:00 nvidia display sharpening, 19:00 outro
7:25 can you help me to fixing the wrong ui not working?
@@realxrukrwrld I have the same problem, did u fix it ?
not yet@@parik3449
For some reason when I do this, whenever I turn off my PC, none of it saves, and I have to do it all over again
@@realxrukrwrld I figured it out I had the same problem and did some trouble shooting of my own. This is a problem due to windows 11 I believe, and windows 11's way of changing file name extensions. Go into your file explorer> go to view at the top> show> file name extension> from there you find the file that SHOULD be named autoexec.cfg.txt delete the txt at the end and hit yes. Essentially, windows 11 cause for you to never ACTUALLY change your file type so you have to use the roundabout way to do it.
The EA advanced launch options always freezes when I try to copy paste all the commands, even individually typing it, once it reaches the end of the box it will freeze. I have already tried countless times. Anyone found a fix?
new to Apex, but if the community is even remotely close to being like your videos, I may be hooked.
most of us are but i cant vouch for some
I just did the launch options and add (bind_US_standard "=" "uiscript_reset") to the autoexec file and my game is never been smoother, thanks a ton brother
That’s helps a lot, thank you so much ❤
very good in depth video thank u for this

does this works on the EA launcher?

ty it worked

Thx bro it worked I left a sub and noti🎉
For ANYONE that interested in this configs every single config that he does is still working
im pretty sure you can make multiple profiles in cru and just have everything display scaled. For ex. you can have apex be 1728x1080 and csgo 1920x1080 (or any other res) and have both properly display scaled as long as you have both in your extension block
you can also confirm that the display scale is working because if you go to advanced display scaling, your Desktop resolution and Active signal resolution should be the same. KajzerD has a good explanation and tutorial
thank you!! i used to have it set to stretch res but i somehow change the start up res to a 1998 tube tv so i would have to fix it every time i booted up apex. thanks for the 3 less clicks ❤
Bruh your vid literally helped me out!!!!. Thanks!!
Hey,
I dont know if you will see this, but hitting the equal sign doesnt fix the menu scaling. Any idea?
i have the same problem too
same problem for me

@@betasquadblitz i put my fix in a reply to hobo2137 if you need it. mine was bc of windows 11
@@smalls2104your a lifesaver
Okay it works perfectly, I don't even have to press alt+enter and it stretches all the way.
9:20 What if I have nothing in extension blocks? Do I need to make one?
helped heaps thank you bro
Bro i do the first method and i go ingame and my highest native 16:10 is 1680 x 1050 and 1728 1080 wont come up my active signal is 1920 1080 and my desktop is 1728 1080 and every time i tab in game theres a delay of black screen i did read only i changed video setting file to 1728 etc idk what to do
works Thank you mate :)
9:31 the cru is only showing me 120hz at max even though i have a 144hz monitor, any things i can do? Can i just change the hz from 120 to 144?
ok so i tested it again and you can try to use your monitors native refresh when making the new res, and if its very stretched you can but even 1440x1080 i couldnt go to the highest, it had to be 1350 and below
For to change active signal resolution you don't need to delete things you just add your desired resolution to detailed res. section
Do i need .cfg file if im doing 16:10 resolution + those steam launch commands you put in?
nise video bro thanks you, you help me
18:44 is suposed to put 0.2 on sharpening if i use 720x1080? or is it on the second option
720x1080 wtf
Is good this res?
@@elverhahain my honest opinion, you should always try the better quality res possible streched or 16:9 whatever and when you have a shit pc you can try and see if it works for you but i do not recommend if you can have better
@@hoqqy3225 for aiming is good?
@@hoqqy3225 for tracking is good?
I play siege and csgo in stretch rez and have wanted to try it on apex for a while but it was always too confusing or annoying to to setup. Now I have it set up and it was not even a headache, thanks a ton for the video!
The game launches in windowed mode when using a resolultion less than 1280x1080 (for example 1080x1080) and won't let me alt+enter to allow a fullscreen resolution. Seems to only happen on the EA app, any fix for this?
i just tried 800x1080 and launched from ea just fine, make sure in your video config you have both of these set "setting.nowindowborder" "0"
"setting.fullscreen" "1" and let me know if that launches the game in fullscreen
@@complys yea, I got them on. Also have -full screen in launch options just doesn’t work for lower resolutions for me for some reason. But always used to work on steam.
@@leam3901 does it happen if you use gpu scaling instead?
@@v0HaVoK0v Yea, still happens. It's like when I go past that threshold, it makes it windowed, and does not allow me to even use the alt+enter shortcut it will instead just void the alt ket. but it only happens when doing the shortcut otherwise, alt key works like intented.
What do you do if you don't have the option for DISPLAY only GPU?
Awesome vid bro thank you!
Thanks ✌️
I havnt even watched it yet but its already good
Got a small problem with bind_US_standard "=" "uiscript_reset", in my case it does nothing when I click it in game, tried to rebind it to another key, the same. Idk what to do to reset the UI pls help_)
fixed it
@@sentezybox5590 what did u do to fix?
@@sentezybox5590 yo howd you fix it i did the same thing idk how to fix it?
How??@@sentezybox5590
I fixed to@@spooky1640
why when i search “saved games” i haven’t ang folder?
this makes my counter-strike playing brain very happy. :) if my eyes aren't melting, looking at my 4:3 stretched game, I can't hit anything. D:
Why is my equal not making the hud go back to normal?
what should i do if i dont have the videoconfig file
bro tnx it is really great
7:41 can't you put in a code so that it's just on all the time and not to have to press the button everytime?
i dont think you can :( ive tried setting it as its own command in autoexec and launch options but it never worked until i manually do the command
@@complys sad, but still w video :D
1728 is a huge upgrade from 1920 holy shi. It’s so much more clear and smoother 😂 ty
does anyone with amd have trouble making 1728x1080 in the adrenline software with the benq zowie360htz? its like theres a bug and i cant make certain reses or do full 360hz... any help would be appreciated. also would like to not have to download a third party custom res software
i wish i could help but i have no experience with amd software :( cru is used by many though and is very safe you just have to run it once to make a res and then youre done you never have to open it ever again
It is because when you create your custom res in amd software you also need to enter your res in timing display
I don't get the respwan when going in on saved games
Is this english?
The language of the folder changes I think, idk why but for example, because I'm french the folder is named "Parties enregistrés" and not "Saved games" just go to the folder where the Saved games is and search for a folder named like that, and in it you should find the respawn folder
thanks love
man my custom res [1728 x 1080] is not showing in apex after i created it in the control panel. Is there any solution to make it show?
once you've done forced display scaling what must it look like in the nvidia control panels ? is there settings to mess up with in there ?
LOVE YOU COMPLYS
My screens just black
When I load up apex on 1728 1080
When you stretch in Apex and use octane man it feels sooooo gooodddddd!
BROOO U AR GOOOOD
I don't have the option to Perform scaling on display at 1:55. Mine is only on GPU, how can I fix this?
You most likely have DSR-.resolutions activated.
Go to the adhyst 3d settings, and UNcross all the extra resolutions.
@@sturenorth Thanks for the advice, but I ended up getting a new monitor and the problem was fixed!
5:52 am i supposed to have the top one to? or only have the bind_US_standard "=" "uiscript_reset"
do you only have the " bind_US_standard "=" "uiscript_reset" "or you put both of the them shown in the video?
whats the best stretch res for an ultrawide 3440*1440 display ?
Ok, i have a lot of problems. I can't create my own resolution and i' cant search Saved Games.
I’m getting a lot of crashes when I boot up the game. I went back and reset my setting in the saved game files back to normal. Should I still have read only checked?
Don't put your video settings on read only if you still wanna be able to change them in game :)
legend, thank you for this!
i cant stretch in 2024... why i dont have black bars in the bottom after alt + enter? my game is working on fullscreen immediatly
I have the same problem
Every time I try to paste the launch options in the EA app it freezes and never pastes anything. All of my friends have the same issue. How were you able to paste the launch options in the ea app?
okay so I had this issue randomly too, you have to type out each command one by one, but go to the front each time you start typing a new one, if you type them all back to back normally it freezes but that worked for me
the launch options have a character limit so you cant enter too many commands or the app will freeze
I did everything but have a black border when I’m playing … how do I fix ? Any help
How do i do the equal sign on a 60% keyboard😭
Any idea why i cant switch between my custom res and native res at high refresh rate after using CRU
what strecth did u use in the first clips
Thank you
Can’t click on any legends in the legend locker but can click on weapons and more? the cfg files aren’t working even after fixing the file name being cfg.txt ?
thanks, i just tried 1600x1080 and my aim went crazy with it
this was my old fortnite res wayyy back in the day, idk why I never thought about using it for apex
I did everything you said but it still shows 110 FOV in my Apex settings. Does this mean it's still 120?
i did this and it worked but after a couple of hours when i went to go back in the alt enter shortcut for fullscreen doesnt work anymore
Which do u use?
The = bind isnt working for me i even switched it to . as a bind and it still didnt work
Me to🤔
Ther is comment reply on " @itzjustnatedogg" explaining how to fixe the =
Why cant i play apex anymore after doing this i go onto the game and it says "File 'cfg/client/st_sata.bin' header is invalid - file format id# is wrong." Plz help me out
the option to customize my res is greyed out of the nividea control panel. and i know you need to disable dsr factors in 3d settings, which I did on my old monitor and it worked. But now that I'm on my new monitor, the customize res option is again greyed out, but this time, dsr factors won't even show up. help.
run nvidia as admin
that did nothing @@lmShyy
i had the black bar at the bottom and everything but ingame its not stretched any solutions?
i opened cfg folder but theres only client folder
same here
i have the same monitor, do you have a method for this just 360hz???
never have i tried to play a game and use streched res where it is that complicated to set up the strech res, the autoexec doesnt work for me or i just cant find the buttom which to press, do i need it press alt+enter 2x everytime i start the game? cuz im getting black bars on top and bottom.
not sure if you reply to new comments but does this work for 1080x1080
I have a problem where i cant see half of the legends in the lobby idk why
is 1440*1080 bannable if I use those commands and play this game in this resolution without black bars?
Hey man Im doing 1920x1440 but I have black bars on top and bottom what can i do
My cursor is gone and it’s happened a long time ago when I did custom resolution but I can’t remember how I fixed it…
Yoo brutha thank you! very informative and accurate
Hi , bro we can't refresh a bind cfg like F12 in game now or its just me?
My game doesnt launch. Launch button goes gray and cant find the game in my task administer
When using the cru method whenever I’m done playing apex how do I go back to my monitors native res?
anyway to use stretched on windowed borderless?
hitting equal isn't resetting boarders inside game?
What is the bind for the equal thing?
@@xtfxBigSmokefrrr
I have apex on steam and when i browse local file and click on the cfg folder, there’s only a client folder inside, no other text files like u. And when i create a autoexec file and changed the tail to .cfg it doesn’t ask me anything. Help me plz cause mah ui is misplaced:))
I’m having trouble everytime I close out the note pad to re check read only the right click blacks out my screen as of resetting it
Why my frames are 90-120 on 4;3 while on 16;9 i get constant 165?
There is something that not everyone explains, lowering the screen resolution means that the workload is on the cpu rather than on the gpu, if you use MSI Afterburner you can see how the cpu usage increases and the gpu usage decreases, ideally it should be the opposite. Preferably the GPU has to be in greater use than the CPU. This simply means that if your CPU is not powerful enough you will not have good fps in 4:3 or 16:10, but in 16:9 in theory it would be better.
i did exactly what you did and it gives me this grey flashing blurred screen i have a 144hz monitory but it always runs on 120hz can you help?
it's only allowing me to change my resolution to 60 hz when being on the Display adapter properties for Display 1
So..... My active display signal is 1440x1080 and my screen resolution is 1440x1080 but I have black bars so my monitor doesn't scale the resolution???
i cant change my default video settings. when i change my video settings it gets black bars how do i prevent that?
What res do you use mostly
Woa, you have xl2566k already!? How you feel when playing on 360hz on apex!?! Is it much differences compare to 240hz???
can't find respawn folder in saved games... My saved games folder is in c while apex and steam apps is instaled in d im stuck because i dont know what to do
What if u are and wats the best way to get smooth n stretched
hey complys. I have a question. I was trying to make a autoexec.cfg file but it wont let me create a text file in the cfg file. It just says create a new folder
How are you able to run 240fps at 1440x1080 res , mine is always stuck at 144. Even though I put the steam config in? Pls help brother!
will it be stretched on other games if i copy the first but of the vid
Can someone help me? When i put +building_cubemaps 1 into my launch options my launcher just crash and i have to restart it.
Bro, Im already on the part where the black bars are only in the bottom but when I go ingame, The black bars at the top and bottom comes back
