Every PC I’ve ever used automatically detects and adjusts resolution to the display you connect to it. Even Nintendo Switch will detect when it’s docked and automatically adjust the display resolution. But on Steam Deck you literally have to adjust the display resolution for every game, every time you switch displays.

Since getting the SD I have shoved my PC into another room to displace the heat (until I get a mini-split) and I just stream from it to the Deck, whether docked at my desk or on the couch or on the big screen. But this really complicates that process unnecessarily.

This has also not been fixed in Nobara or Chimera.

What’s the limitation there?

    just because YOU have never had problems doesn’t mean they don’t exist

    No one said that.

    most games do store there res and other user settings s in their own config file

    Again, based on what? What resolution are the choosing and why? Every PC game I have ever played has its’ settings automatically adjusted to the native resolution.
