Video settings for monitor screen

Hi Guys,

every time i start the game i have to change the video settings of the screen that appears on my monitor whilst using the headset. The default setting is smaller than i want it to be for when i take screenshots.

Its becoming annoying having to change the settings in-game to 1900-1080, borderless and refresh of 59.95 every time i load the game.

Is there a place like a config file i can change the default settings to what i want them to be?

Nope.

We have been complaining over this decision since the start.
Even with the EDprofiler setting this you can sometimes see the larger windows start. Then the game resets it.

Refresh only matters when running dedicated fullscreen.
And would have no impact when using VR or windowed which would work fine for screenshots.

Personally I would simply rather take shots using the hi-res alt-f10 it quadrupled the screenshot resolution and doesn't crop.

thats not a good answer, i was hoping for a "yes change it in this file" etc

oh well, keep the manual change then.

Shouldn't have to change anything more than just the resolution, the screenshot would still capture the window it doesn't have to actually be fully visible on a desktop.

thats what i thought at first, but when i go back and review the shots they are smaller than a full screen image.

no ofc not, its just a shame something as simple as this doesn't have a fix. Was hoping for a quick fix from the community.

have you tried opening the "Custom.fxcfg" with notepad and paste this code.

Custom.fxcfg is located in: C:\Users\(your name)\AppData\Local\Frontier Developments\Elite Dangerous\Options\Graphics​


Code: 
[FONT=Verdana]<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<Root PresetName="Custom">
 <DisplayConfig>
[B]  <ScreenWidth>2880</ScreenWidth>
  <ScreenHeight>1440</ScreenHeight>[/B]
  <VSync>false</VSync>
  <FullScreen>0</FullScreen>
  <PresentInterval>1</PresentInterval>
  <Adapter>0</Adapter>
  <Monitor>0</Monitor>
  <DX11_RefreshRateNumerator>60015</DX11_RefreshRateNumerator>
  <DX11_RefreshRateDenominator>1000</DX11_RefreshRateDenominator>
  <LimitFrameRate>false</LimitFrameRate>
  <MaxFramesPerSecond>90</MaxFramesPerSecond>
 </DisplayConfig>
</Root>[/FONT]

please note you will have to remove this code if you wish to change and keep the new resoulotions or modify this code,
with the new settings, you wish to set.
