Question / Help I have a 2560x1080 display - can't seem to downscale to 1080p!

Hey guys!

Trying out the new OBS MS but i'm having some problems setting it up. I have a 2560x1080p (ultrawide) monitor, and in the settings menu, I can't seem to downscale it to 1080p (which I can in the "regular" OBS). The closest option is 1920x810 which is really weird. I tried to type in the numbers manually instead of choosing a "preset" for the downscale, but when i restarted OBS i got that invalid video-error thingy. Any ideas?

2560x1080 = 21:9 aspect ratio and 1920x1080 = 16:9 aspect ratio
You can't downscale to 1920x1080, without distorting the image.

But I'm not using a 2560x1080p resolution in game and such. My lobby background pic is in 1080p, and i run all games in window mode 1080p, which leave me some room on the side for chat and stuff for twitch. But i figured it out, i needed to switch the "base resolution" to 1080p inside the settings. So I'm good to go. I'm just gonna wait for some minor updates like rolling texts and stuff like that before i make the jump from regular obs to the new one. It looks really good though!

An EQ plugin for you mic would be great btw!

Try typing your desired resolution in the base resolution box

EDIT: Dammit, too slow :p

OBS-MP already has scrolling btw
