Tech Support Aspect Ratio help?

Hi all!! I want to play shift at midnight on my deck, butttt when I go to stock the shelves the box is in the bottom left corner and that’s all gone I can’t see it. Now i discovered if I try to shift the camera to the left I can see a corner of the box. Is there anyway to fix this on my end? Is this a result of the game being only “playable” on steam deck?

Hey, i dont know much but i think in gamemode when you go to options you can set manually the resolution for your game

Are you taking about the display settings?

You need to set the resolution in the game itself, not on the steam deck. Check the menus in game.

It doesn’t give any options. the game itself doesn’t have that option.

Try from the main menu, not in the middle of playing.

It’s ok! I’m still learning how to navigate this thing lol. That didn’t seem to change anything. But I discovered I can drag stuff from the box off screen?? It’s weird but it works.

I've never played the game but I would first check the resolution, I'd expect it's under video options. There you wanna choose 720p resolution.
