Diablo 4 How to Change Resolution on PC (Grayed Out)

As players have begun their journey into hell once more in Diablo 4, many on PC are still tinkering with their settings, trying to find that perfect sweet balance between performance and resolution. While the game does allow players to change whatever settings they want, oddly enough mostly, it has restricted them from choosing which resolution to use. Luckily there's a workaround, which we detail in this Diablo 4 "How to Change Resolution" guide for PC.

So you’ve gone into the settings of Diablo 4, but realized that for whatever reason, the resolution setting is grayed out. Don't worry; you aren't the only one having this issue, as it seems that Blizzard has disabled this option for unknown reasons. Instead, by default, the game will select whatever resolution your current desktop is set-up with. So, if you are using a 4K monitor, and your desktop is set to 4K, then Diablo 4 will play and run in 4K.

Understandably, 4K can be rather demanding, and many prefer dropping the resolution down to, say, 1440P, since the sacrifice in image quality isn't all that big compared to the boost in performance it can provide, especially when you sharpen the image via in-game settings.

So in order to change the resolution that Diablo 4 will run in, you must first close the title and open up your graphic card's control panel. In this case, since we only have a Nvidia card, you will right click on the desktop and choose."Nvidia Control Panel."

Once that is open, you can navigate to where it says resolution on the right side. From there, select the resolution that works best for you.

Now you can start Diablo 4 again, and once you go into the settings, you should notice the resolution has been changed to the one you selected.

This isn't the ideal way of going about it, but as of right now, it's the only way to change the resolution. Hopefully, Blizzard will release an update that re-enables the resolution setting in Diablo 4.
