Wrong full screen resolution on nvidia optimus

Greetings.

I've ran the singularity client and got greeted with the intro video
in a resolution smaller than my actual one.

For the first time ever, my nvidia gfx gets shown in the escape menu,
while before it always has been the intel chip, which i know was a common bug that didn't matter.

Now, though, when i want to run the game in full screen,
it keeps displaying the mouse, switching around a few resolutions (i can tell by the mouse changing size)
and then popping to something the escape menu says is 1366x768, but it isn't.

Cheers !

Same problem on my side. Screen resolution doesn't look right.

Same here. Can't select the keep settings buttons bcause it switches too fast between resolutions before stopping at 640X480.

I have the same problem as well. Instead of running in "fullscreen", I selected the "fixed window" (for some reason this is still full screen for me), and it seemed to go back to the correct resolution.

I am also running in 1366x768 (14 inch laptop). I recently had a problem with constant crashing, but upgraded directx and my nvidia card and have not crashed since then.

IIRC, Fixed Window mode is basically normal window mode minus the borders and taskbar (making it appear as if it is fullscreen).

I found its better to use when you alt-tab a lot compared to the normal full screen mode

they changed something on the way resolutions are set, if you change it with any window management software the UI loses its **** and shows wireframes (!). i cant even set a window to be always on top...

and overlays aren't working either, i cant get TS3 to work, and im guessing Steam uses will have a similar problem.

This seems to be a problem with the DX11 release.. but if you go to options on the launcher and use DX9 the problem goes away.

So im assuming is a DX11 issue..

Same here... For some reason it won't use 1366x768, while at setings it says it does is at that resolution.
