Dead By Daylight - How To Change Display Resolution / Use Custom Resolution

Answer

As you’re unable to change your display resolution options in the in-game settings, we suggest to use the GeForce Experience application in case you're using an NVIDIA graphics card. In the Home tab, select Details for Dead by Daylight. Select the wrench icon, which will enable you to change the resolution, Display Mode, and a few additional performance changes below if you want to use the slider system.
