Saving display preferences per monitor

[MattHorn25]

Hello!

This is something I've run across while playing the game in handheld mode and then docked mode on my Steam Deck: the launcher will always remember and present the display settings from last time, even if the current Active (and only) Monitor doesn't support these particular settings.

It seems like a feature where the launcher saves the following settings:

• Window Mode
• Resolution
• Widescreen toggle
• FPS

and also potentially these (debatable):

• Battle HUD
• UI lines/columns

for the currently active monitor, and swaps them out if a previously configured monitor is detected as Active, would be beneficial.

Thanks for everything you guys do!

Does resolution change between docked/handheld mode. Is this the main issue? That's really the only setting that would potentially not be supported and possibly lead to a cropped window in borderless fullscreen or windowed. Frame rate isn't really an issue since it's the internal frame rate not the monitor refresh rate.

I added a check that will limit the resolution to the maximum the current display is capable of, so hopefully that will help. You will have to report back with the next release.

Thanks! For the resolution, yes it changes between modes - since the Deck's handheld display is only 1280x800, any external display will almost always have a higher resolution. The external display's reported resolution can be set to more or less anything (from what I understand the Deck virtualizes peripherals to an extent), but 1080p is a common setting.

And noted on the framerate clarification, although I'm not sure whether a mismatch would result in any stutter? This is part of why I thought per-screen settings might be useful.

There will be presets with the new launcher. You will be able to save your settings as a preset if you really want different options for handheld/docked. Unfortunately presets cannot include screen mode, resolution or monitor but everything else can be saved. Might be worth considering.
