This method requires you to edit a specific system file of the game, which will stabilize your resolution in 1920x1080, 2560x1440, or 4K. Just follow our step-by-step guide below for all the info you need.
Step 1: Open AppData Folder
In order to change the resolution in SCUM, you need to edit a system file that can be found in the AppData folder. Follow these steps to locate the file:
Open the Start menu In the search field type %appdata% Open the “AppData” folder Go to “/AppData/Local/SCUM/Saved/Config/WindowsNoEditor/”
In the final WindowsNoEditor folder, you will find a number of .ini files that can be edited, but you only need one.
Step 2: Edit System File
Now you need to edit a few lines in one of the system files provided below. For example, if you need your game to be set at 1920x1080 resolution. Here is how you can do it:
Right-click on the “GameUserSettings. ini” file Open the file with Notepad Search and edit the text with the following lines: “ResolutionSizeX=1920” “ResolutionSizeY=1080” “LastUserConfirmedResolutionSizeX=1920” “LastUserConfirmedResolutionSizeY=1080” “DesiredScreenWidth=1920” “bUseDesiredScreenHeight=True” “DesiredScreenHeight=1080” “FullscreenMode=1” “PreferredFullscreenMode=1” Save and close the file
Now your game should be running at 1920x1080 resolution, or any other resolution you’ve set, and in full-screen mode.
Can I Run SCUM in 4K?
Since launch, some players have been trying to get the game to run in 4K. Although the results have been a mixed bag, you can get your game to run in it by following the steps above or by:
Set SCUM to windowed mode Then set it back to full-screen mode Close the game Relaunch
It may not work for everyone, but trying this method could be easier than altering the game’s data.
