Custom Resolution Utility (CRU)

[klepp0906]

So i registered due to a relatively unique issue im trying to solve. It seems this software is the frontrunner in the custom resolution space and due to choosing to run surround AND sli, its always something with my pc /sigh.

I have a steam link. Im getting old and after a long day with 2 young kids beating me into old age, I like to stream to my bed or couch instead of sitting at my pc. The problem is, with my surround/bezel corrected resolution. Its miles off of any known aspect ratio.

The steam link only puts out a max of 1080p which is fine for the few games that allow me to choose a windowed resolution of 1080p (my actual native surround resolution is 4680x2560 bezel corrected fwiw)

Most games dont allow this based off the info theyre receiving from the EDID (i presume? its above my pay grade)

This leaves me with some combination of editing the registry or if im lucky a config file to force a 1080p windowed resolution. Unfortunately the problem is two fold.

1) many games exist that even this does not work
2) it forces me to re-do the "hack" any time I want to actually play at the pc and change it via gui to a standard recognized resolution.

Otherwise I have to stream at whatever it gives me which is usually some resolution above 1080p (2304xsomethingoranother) and end up with black bars on my tv.

The short of it is, im trying to figure out if its possible/what I need to do to enable the ability to select 1080p in the drop down. Not for a fullscreen 1080p (which will refresh the entire setup and that takes ages on surround + moves my windows all over on my accessory display) but simply to be able to select 1080p in the drop down for 1080p windowed.

I tried to add the resolution to the "active" surround setup. No dice. I tried to add it to all 3 monitors and the surround set up then reloaded, still no dice.

Id appreciate if any help can be given. It would be a game changer.
