I dunno… Depends on the game. If you make a window wide enough you’d start seeing what’s behind you, and that might not be very fair in certain games lol. It might not be very easy to aim but that can be learned. 😅

Well…
I could also set my own resolution with the config files (rocket league at last at the time allowed it) or I also could set my own resolution in my gpu driver.
So what’s the issue then?
For example, I can’t choose an ultrawide 1080p resolution in Cyberpunk2077.
Any game usually let’s me set the usual values (like 1920x1080, 1280x720, 4:3 resolutions, 16:10 resolutions, etc etc). So why not let me choose the custom resolution of 2560x1080p ???

I’m just saying I’m certain games setting your custom resolution could be considered cheating.
For example in competitive first person shooters, if you play on a 16:9 monitor, and you set the resolution to be a ratio much, much wider than your monitor, you will see all the way around the player in 360°. This is how graphics projection math works. Or it did wheni last dabbled in writing a graphics engine.
So I can understand some games not allowing certain odd ratios and FOVs in combination.
Otherwise I agree, of course we should be able to set a resolution that matches our monitors that we have. 😊👍
