    Xbox PC app not allowing me use higher than 1080 resolutions


    I am having an issue with Xbox Gamepass games on PC not recognizing my native resolution.

    I am running on Windows 10 vrs.20H2 with a Samsung widescreen 3440X1440 monitor on a GTX 1060 and I don't get this issue with Steam or battle net games.

    The output on my GTX 1060 is set as display port for video into the monitor and HDMI into a soundbar for audio. the screen settings in windows are then set to duplicate with 3440X1440 resolution.

    The screen's native resolution in windows is showing up fine and I even have the correct refresh rate.

    The game menus within gamepass on the other hand don't let me go past the 1080 resolution in settings and in some cases won't even give me the option of choosing a resolution.

    This seems to be something that has come up only recently because I noticed it while playing flight simulator and I am 100% sure it wasn't happening a few days ago.

    I tried forcing the native resolution from the Nvidia app and it seemed like it worked for a session last night, but then once I rebooted my PC that too seemed to have been bypassed by the Xbox app for some reason.

    Is there something going on with one of the Xbox app's latest updates?

    would my best bet be to delete the app and all the games and start over downloading them?

    :)

    !! REALLY, 360 better 720p or 1080p??

    thank u. i heard when higher-than-720 games are announced, there is always big news saying resolution's 1080 or 768... i saw the web and it's far not complete. i don't know if there's a complete list of higher-than-720 disc games...?

    High fives all around, grats to anyone that says NO to 720p

    [quote user="Bluntman1138"]And as Myke said, You can get more FPS with 720, which in online gaming, is FAR MORE valuable than just 1080.[/quote]You should always drop graphics detail before resolution.

    There is no point in having stunning detail if it looks as if the screen has a light coat of grease on it.

    Higher resolution and lower graphics detail will look better than lower resolution and higher graphics detail.

    Ok the last Xbox was acompromisehine sometimes dipping below for cod etc but this is a generation on now guys

    And tv's are getting bigger resolutions are getting higher facts !

    Bf4 for example benefits greatly fbest higher resolutions not only for far of building clarity but being able to aim properly on a far off target .......

    I for one have a 1080p tv and expect 1080 resolutions for best results but sadly I love Xbox .....

    There should not be a comprimise we did that last generation for long enough ....

    I know if I bought a pc I could achieve 1080 /60fps all day but it's a more time consuming way to game not at all a level playing field!

    Do you consider the X a new generation?

    If a resolution boost doesn't make a console next gen, why is Xbox 360 last gen? Could you please answer that for me? Wait, was one of your answers more memory? The X has that.
    I have no problem answering that. Thank you for asking the question. To respond I will again draw to the 1080 vs 1080ti comparison. Given you own a high spec gaming PC I'm sure you'll be able to understand.

    A GTX 1080 has 8gb of DDR5x RAM. The 1080ti has 11gb of DDR5x RAM. The latter has more RAM and can run games at a higher frame rate at higher resolutions. Yet at their heart both cards are still the same beast, they are still a 1080. The one is just a better
    version of a 1080.

    The same is true for the Xbox One X. Yes it has more RAM and a overclocked processor, yet at its heart it is still an Xbox One, it's just a better version of the Xbox One. Just like the Xbox One S is a slightly better version of the original Xbox One.

    Hopefully I've been clear enough in my explanation.
