Launcher application to set all resolutions with one option #1287

Open Loobinex opened 2 years ago

The game responds best if both the menu, movies and ingame resolutions are all configured the same way. With the new movie-scaling settings there's no real reason to have different resolutions for the different modes.

The behavior we see, is that when people configure their ingame resolution, they often forget to set the other resolutions, leading to support questions or sub-par behaviors for the users. It would be best for the launcher to just have one configuration option to set both ingame, menu and movies resolution.

Would you want the launcher to do this? Or just make it so there's only 1 configuration option?

ImpLauncher does the former and I've not heard of any problems. (Although I'm limiting it to maximum 2560x1440 to protect against 4k errors). So I guess if the official launcher would do this there would be no problem.

Removing all different kinds of functionality for this would make the code cleaner though. But then again there might be some very specific use cases to still use separate resolutions.

Either would be good to be honest, but the launcher needs to be modified either way.
