Hello, I have a 1.5 aspect ratio screen 2160 x 1440.
It's on a tablet, and 1280px seems to run ok. But there is no 1.5 aspect ratio available.
The closest is 1.33 or 1.6 but the image is stretched across the screen in fullscreen move.
I want to use 1080x720 for exactly 2.0x native resolution.
I tried changing C:\Users\(user)\Saved Games\MechWarrior Online\Profiles\(player)\attributes.xml but there is only a Height attribute. I added an additional line Width and entered 1080 and 720, but all it did was change the resolution to 1280x720.

Is there some other way I can change the aspect ratio? Or stop the stretching?

the game only really supports aspect ratio's of 4:3, 16:9 and 16:10 .... to make a change 'stick' in teh attributes file, you need to make it read only, and it gets painful, but both keys should be there, as r_width and r_height .... but its honestly probably better to change them in a user.cfg / tuning.cfg file ....

also, if you can setup the 'screen' to support whatever custom resolution your trying to do within windows, then that will help the game to conform .... I use 3072x1726 ... if you've got an nvidia card, then within its driver theres abilities to create non standard resolutions, and an extra checkbox to 'enable resolutions not exposed by the display' .... if you do that, you can usually select your custom resolution from the menu ....

with hardware from different manufacturers, YMMV

Follow Narc Bait suggestion, otherwise you need to change MWO to Windowed Mode, not FS nor FWMode then you can edit the attributes file, adding the missing line.

<Attr name="OptionCfg.r_Height" value="1080"/>
<Attr name="OptionCfg.r_Width" value="1920"/>

or

<Attr name="OptionCfg.r_Height" value="900"/>
<Attr name="OptionCfg.r_Width" value="1900"/>
