How to Play Stretched Resolution in Apex Legends (4:3, Display Scaled, Any Res)
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)

I was familiar with most of what you, appropriately, went over in this video. So, went to sort through the video for the specific small bit of into that I needed, and I realized how well structured this video is. I think you did a really good job, in all aspects, of proving this information for someone who is inexperienced, cheers 👍
Yoo brutha thank you! very informative and accurate
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.
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 ❤
Awesome vid bro thank you!
helped heaps thank you bro
Bruh your vid literally helped me out!!!!. Thanks!!
very good in depth video thank u for this
nise video bro thanks you, you help me
bro tnx it is really great
18:44 is suposed to put 0.2 on sharpening if i use 720x1080? or is it on the second option
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
BROOO U AR GOOOOD
what do you think about the m_yaw 0.0198 command for streched res to get 1:1 sens
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
Yo @complys I need some help, hopefully you see this! To preface I am a hardcore player and know more than the average optimization junky and I can't for the life of me figure out how to fix my issue. For some reason when I set my stretched rez to 1680x1050 360hz in the Nvidia control panel (I have the 360hz 24.5in Zowie BenQ) with all of the correct panel settings and launch options then load into Apex my monitors refresh rate changes from 360hz to 240hz. This ONLY occurs when I load Apex, otherwise the refresh rate stays 360hz. I cap my fps using RTSS and +fps_0 at 240hz but when I use any other resolution my MONITORS refresh rate will remain 360hz when I load Apex. I've tried many fixes such as creating a custom 1680x1050 rez that can only access 359hz and making it my monitors base rez but even then the refresh rate drops from 360hz to 240hz once Apex is launched. Any fixes, ideas, or known issues you may know would be awesome my guy!
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.
Thanks ✌️
I havnt even watched it yet but its already good
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.
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
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?
Im a loba main, and every epic loot through walls is blurry and over stretched, how do I fix that?
What do you do if you don't have the option for DISPLAY only GPU?
Woa, you have xl2566k already!? How you feel when playing on 360hz on apex!?! Is it much differences compare to 240hz???
Thank you
Yo m8, so if I'll set scaling on GPU in Nvidia panel, it would be scaling on it ? even If Im using CRU? I want a display scaling, but also I need a quick alttab
non of the monitors in cru says active and in the extension blocks I only have default extension block any fix for that
Will CRU not work if I have a 1440p monitor? Cause I can’t enter or find my native res which is 2560x1440
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?
nice video but how can you achieve stretch res while on clone display ?? the other method dont work
sorry if you have already answered this but when using cru for stretch res what scaling option should you use in nvidia control panel aspect ratio
fullscreen display scaling
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?
9:20 What if I have nothing in extension blocks? Do I need to make one?
When using the cru method whenever I’m done playing apex how do I go back to my monitors native res?
Any reason as to why it gives me a weird greyish filter when applying the settings to cru and restarting
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
when I go to make a text document for the autoexec i dont have the text document option but i have the option to make a new word document would that work the same or no
What res do you use mostly
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?
thank you so much
i have the same monitor, do you have a method for this just 360hz???
thanks love
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

THANK YOU YOUR A FUCKING LEGEND
@@Thekiya753is that the stretch Res settings already set or what’s the thing for lol
you're a legend frr

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:))
@complys just upgraded to a 4070 ti. What are the best Nvidia control manage 3d settings to get the best performance? Still dealing with frame drops 😅
Use all low
I do 1440p all low settings, set model detail and stream budget to whatever, I’m doing capped 180fps, I can easily hit 240fps on 1440p, but I gotta mess with nvidia panel and I’m too lazy to do that
Hi , bro we can't refresh a bind cfg like F12 in game now or its just me?
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
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:
when i go in the game after the first time it worked but next time it sets the res in apex 1280x768 but it dosent look like that
When you stretch in Apex and use octane man it feels sooooo gooodddddd!
whats the best stretch res for an ultrawide 3440*1440 display ?
I don't get the respwan when going in on saved games
i put 1024x1024 and i cant hit ALT ENTER, i mean if i put another res it allows me, but i like this res and idk how to fix it
@complys to change everything back to normal do i just put all the original settings back into cru and apex so 1920x1080 180Hz?
I’m wondering the same thing
it's only allowing me to change my resolution to 60 hz when being on the Display adapter properties for Display 1
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
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
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…
i had the black bar at the bottom and everything but ingame its not stretched any solutions?
its working some what the autoexec file thing when i hit = doesnt do the thing that its supposed to do any advice??
i dont want my desktop resolution as 1728x1080. How do i fix it? can i use 1920x1080 in desktop and apex 1728x1080?
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
I did everything but have a black border when I’m playing … how do I fix ? Any help
Can someone help me? When i put +building_cubemaps 1 into my launch options my launcher just crash and i have to restart it.
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.
amazing tutorial🤑🤑💰💸
will this work if i play windowed fullscreen?
what should i do if i dont have the videoconfig file
i cant change my default video settings. when i change my video settings it gets black bars how do i prevent that?
it s not working when hitting =, it s freezing for a bit but nothing happens
when I do it the lowest resoultion I can do is 1440x 1080 when I set it to 1080x1080
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 cant find the button to press to activate the autoexec.(i have a 60% keyboard)
i cant stretch in 2024... why i dont have black bars in the bottom after alt + enter? my game is working on fullscreen immediatly
any good res for low end pc ?
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???
bro everytime I restart my pc my 1728 custom res is gone and I have to go back to nvidia control panel and create it everytime
1728x1080 doesn't work for me. Game just loads with some other res but not with the one that I mentioned in videoconfig
I have low end pc how to lower setting to 800×600, cause this method doesn't work for me
how do i keep my stream memory at none it keeps changing back
Wont let me add files to my cfg folder how do I fix on ea
I NEED YOUR HELP, I TRIED REMOVING THE REZ, BUT NOW EACH TIME I OPEN THE GAME, THE REZ IS BACK!
bro ea always crashes when i put in the command lines for prompts
why when i search “saved games” i haven’t ang folder?
1440x1080 Still work after cfg change?
Why is my equal not making the hud go back to normal?
we literally have the same homescreen i thought i was looking at mine
thabk you than you thank you
What’s a res for 2k monitor
1728 is a huge upgrade from 1920 holy shi. It’s so much more clear and smoother 😂 ty
Hey man I did the 1600 X 1080 and im on steam I have tiny black bars. How do I get rid of them? I have everything on full screen
watch the video
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
yo good looks it worked appreciate it gang (nvm$
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_)
