Higher than native screen resolution in TF2?

I want to take a high resolution screenshot in TF2,

So far I have managed to find this command, which does what you think it does, gives me a 1920x1080 resolution screen, then scales each image down to 1360x768 for output to my monitor.

xrandr --output DVI-I-0 --mode 1360x768_75.00 --scale-from 1920x1080

However, TF2 is stubbornly sticking to 1360x768, despite these launch options.

-novid -noipx -nojoy -sw -noborder -w 1920 -h 1080

I don't think steam screenshots will ever shoot at something other than your screen res.

Unless TF2 litterally cannot output higher than 1360x768, even on higher resolution monitors, there's no reason why, with enough software trickery, you shouldn't be able to get a program to output a large resolution that the OS is telling it is available.

I suspect TF2 somehow knows I'm still using 1360x768 output. It's doing the thing where mouse input/cursor location on the screen is not lined up with where tf2 thinks buttons are being clicked, suggesting X is telling TF2 "the cursor is here on the virtual screen" then TF2 is translating that input to where it's outputting those pixels on the screen to.

you can use sourceres to do this

edit: literally any resolution is possible even 4k and beyond

the301stspartanI don't think steam screenshots will ever shoot at something other than your screen res.

I just pressed print screen on the desktop to test what you're saying, and it's a 1920x1080 image. I don't need to use the steam screen shot feature.

doesnt AMD has a supersampling thing in the driver? you could try adding the resolution you want with CRU
edit: nvm didnt notice it was linux

I'm pretty sure huhy figured out a way to do something like this a while back for lawena. Could maybe give him a shout and see if he can still remember/help.

I might be an idiot that's completely missing the point of this post, but I've uploaded a bunch of status screens with 1366x768 and they all worked fine on etf2l

Or is it something else you're trying to do?

I don't think status ID screeens have /ever/ worked for me. Win7 or linux. Rayshud, m0rehud, default hud. The best guess I've ever been able to come up with is my monitor resolution is too low, and one admin said "well it works on 1080p and pretty much everyone has that now".

That's odd, they always work for me even though I play on a 1366x768 laptop. So the problem must be something else
