📋 About This Mod
ATTENTION
The dependencies and the installation process of Force Resolution have changed.
From Force Resolution 2. 0 onwards, Force Resolution will no longer be released as a mod for QModManager. Moving forward, Force Resolution will be released as a BepInEx plugin.
This change is to facilitate compatibility with the Subnautica 2. 0 Living Large update, and is fully compatible with QModManager!
What the heck is this?
Force Resolution solves the issue where sometimes, the game just doesn't respect your display settings, by forcing it to bend to your will. After setting the resolution to what you want as normal, just enter the command forceres.save into the console and let Force Resolution take care of the problem. Force Resolution optionally runs a background service that will keep Subnautica's resolution right where you left it.
On top of this, Force Resolution gives you access to Exclusive Fullscreen mode, which Subnautica usually doesn't support! Note: This is optional, by default the game will run in Windowed Fullscreen mode, as standard.
You can also use Force Resolution to set non-standard resolutions by using the forceres command - see the I can be hackerman? section below for more info.
