Everythinghandled for you

Built for players who want to play — not dig through driver panels and .ini files.

01

One-click play

Play stretched prepares everything and starts VALORANT. Menus stay normal; the stretch switches on once the map has loaded.

02

Fully automatic setup

Adds the custom resolution to your graphics driver, sets full-screen scaling and the right game settings. No panels, no guides.

03

Four stretch levels

Light, Classic 4:3, Strong, Extreme — or custom. Tune it live in a match with Ctrl+Alt+↑/↓.

04

Optimize Max

Scans every FPS and input-delay setting on your PC and lists each change on its own — current value, target, and why.

05

Safe by design

Backs up every file first and every change can be undone. A guard restores your resolution even if the app crashes.

06

Updates itself

New versions install in seconds with one click, checked with SHA-256 first. Your settings stay as they are.

That's normal for free programs that aren't code-signed. Click More info → Run anyway. You can check your file is genuine with the SHA-256 checksum on the release page.

TrueStretch only changes your Windows resolution, graphics-driver settings and VALORANT's own settings file — the same things you could change by hand. It never reads or modifies game memory and never interacts with Vanguard. Riot doesn't officially support true stretched resolution and we can't speak for Riot, so use it at your own risk.

Yes. It adds the resolution through your graphics driver, and if a driver refuses, it automatically uses the closest stretched resolution your screen already has.

  1. Keep TrueStretch running (tray icon) and start VALORANT with Play stretched.
  2. The stretch switches on after the map loads — menus stay normal on purpose.
  3. Still not working? Settings → Support file, then open a bug report and attach it.

No. It only lists what it found. You choose what to apply, each change is verified afterwards, and Undo puts back the exact original value. It never touches security settings.

No. The only network request is an anonymous check for updates on GitHub, which you can turn off in Settings.
