Steam games "input not supported"

[Abel225]

Hi all,

 

I think I know what the problem is with my computer. It tries to run games at 1080 while my display is a 1600/900. the problem is I have no idea how to fix it. 

 

thanks for the help.

Farce your game to run in windowed by adding -windowed in the steam start up option for the game.

 

Then from there change the res then you can take that off from the launch option

Then get a 1080p monitor

 

Or just cry like I would

nooo. There defeinietly has to be something that can be done. Getting a new monitor? if I had the money why would I run a shitty monitor like this?

do you have a second pc or laptop? i had this problem a couple of times and what i did was stream the game to another computer and set the resolution remotely - the stream gets scaled to the other computers display resolution anyways so i can see menus and all that. 

 

different aproach would be to tell your graphics card driver to always output the monitors native resolution and scale everything internally. 

 

nvidia drivers -> perform scaling on: GPU

 

 

amd drivers -> enable gpu scaling

I have a 1060. And now that you mention it it was probably steam inhome streaming that screwed my games up.

possibly ... now that YOU mention it ... every time i had this problem i had in home streaming enabled.

 

the driver method works very well for me - my monitors are 1680x1050 (16:10) and that method allows me to run games in 1920x1080 should it be needed.

HI, at first i thought it works, but after many seconds it says "input not supported" so for the real solution we got here is after the rust loadings press ALT + ENTER to make it window mode. then it'll work after so you can change it into your original resolution.

 

Hopes this will helps you.
