Package Shipping - How to set resolution or even switch ingame resolution

There is nothing I can do to have the resolution different than default 1280x720…
Basically every game has resolution settings.

I created the Execute Console Command node with Even Begin Play in the Level blueprint and wrote ‘r.setRes 800x600w’ in it. Then package and it completely neglects it and runs default resolution.

Kind of throwing the towel on UE4 here. Something so essential and common…

Example:
-Simply start the 3rd person template (Blueprint)

  • add nodes above in level blueprint
  • package shipping
    Does not work!? What do I have to do in addition here? Just the 3rd person template and straight shipping.

Hi dev100000,

Setting the resolution under Editor Preferences/Level Editor/Play/ Play in New Window & Play on Device will set the custom resolution for your game. Althought it has taken a long time to get you an answer, hopefully this will help someone with the same or similar question.
