Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/games-on-whales/gow/issues/154

The steam container by default only supports 1280x720 even though moonligh client is set to 1080p or 4k. The stream will be at that resolution but the container is at the aforementioned resolution.

Work Around

For each game, goto the properties of the game in steam ui and set the specific resolution wanted
Launch the game and now you have the option to set the resolution to specified resolution

Expected Behavior
To be clear not sure if this is by design or a bug so just listing my opinion as a user

Steam container should default to the resolution set by the moonlight client
Steam Big Picture Mode should use that resolution as the default for games when launching
Can see some utility in have some override option

I'm closing down old issues, this has been completely fixed by Wolf which is able to automatically spin up virtual desktops matching the client resolution.
