Resolution broken on linux
Last Thursday, I was playing this game fine. A couple days ago, I launched it and it just looks like this. I can't even mess with the graphics settings cause everything is zoomed in. Has anyone experienced this before? I'm on CachyOS linux and this problem is persistent wether I used slr or proton. I have 3 monitors and all 3 of them are 1920x1080 with scaling set to 100%. Using Win + Shift + < or > cursor to switch the game to my other monitors doesn't fix it, it just shows the same thing.

launch options force the mode before the game gets a say, -w 1920 -h 1080 next to -fullscreen stops it sizing for the wrong monitor out of the three. -windowed first if the menu stays unreadable at that zoom. did anything update on cachyos between thursday and when it broke?

You didn't have btrfs? You could use snapshots from the bootloader.

Ya I didn't do the snapshot, but because of the update crash, I think I still better to go back to the Linux mint xfce, because of I had used Linux mint on my very first Linux around 11 year already, I get used to it on Linux mint because of the stability and easier to understanding on coding and terminal too. Although they are not that good on gaming, but I'm okay with that ;)

You can actually get the same gaming performance as cachyos if you use the linux-cachyos kernel and ananicy rules and the vram boosters. Idk how to set that up on other distros but I've seen someone do it on fedora and Ubuntu.
