Search help

  • Simple searches use one or more words. Separate the words with spaces (cat dog) to search cat,dog or both. Separate the words with plus signs (cat +dog) to search for items that may contain cat but must contain dog.
  • You can further refine your search on the search results page, where you can search by keywords, author, topic. These can be combined with each other. Examples
    • cat dog --matches anything with cat,dog or both
    • cat +dog --searches for cat +dog where dog is a mandatory term
    • cat -dog -- searches for cat excluding any result containing dog
    • [cats] —will restrict your search to results with topic named "cats"
    • [cats] [dogs] —will restrict your search to results with both topics, "cats", and "dogs"

default and current resolution

0

I'm trying to display the games current resolution in one of my menus.

To set the default game resolution on first launch I created DefaultGameUserSettings.ini in MyProject/Config and made sure the resolution values were set in the file:

 [/Script/Engine.GameUserSettings]
 bUseVSync=False
 ResolutionSizeX=800
 ResolutionSizeY=600
 LastUserConfirmedResolutionSizeX=800
 LastUserConfirmedResolutionSizeY=600
 WindowPosX=-1
 WindowPosY=-1
 bUseDesktopResolutionForFullscreen=True
 FullscreenMode=2
 LastConfirmedFullscreenMode=2
 Version=5

In my code I am checking the values of:

 GameUserSettings->GetScreenResolution();

and 

 GSystemResolution.ResX
 GSystemResolution.ResY

When I launch as standalone game, GSystemResolution and GetScreenResolution() return different values, and neither value matches what I have set in DefaultGameUserSettings.ini!

Which value should be trusted for getting the current resolution and how come it's not working for me? Also, which INI file should I save the new resolution to once the user changes it?

Product Version: UE 4.19

In a packaged game, GameUserSettings->GetScreenResolution() matches what I have specified in DefaultGameUserSettings.ini, but GSystemResolution still shows different values.
