The only official place to get TrueStretch is github.com/candyqueenjr/TrueStretch/releases. Copies from anywhere else (Discord uploads, other websites, "cracked" or "premium" versions) may be modified — don't run them.
Every release lists the SHA-256 checksum of TrueStretch.exe (also attached as TrueStretch.exe.sha256). To check
your copy, open PowerShell in the folder with the file and run:
Get-FileHash .\TrueStretch.exe -Algorithm SHA256The Hash it prints must match the one on the release page exactly. The built-in updater performs this same check
automatically before installing any update.
- ✅ Changes your Windows display resolution and graphics-driver scaling
- ✅ Edits VALORANT's own
GameUserSettings.ini(after backing it up) - ✅ Turns monitor drivers off/on in Device Manager (Windows asks for permission)
- ✅ Reads VALORANT's log file to know when a match has loaded
- ✅ Asks GitHub whether a newer version exists (can be turned off)
- ❌ Never reads or writes game memory, injects code, or interacts with Vanguard
- ❌ Never collects or sends personal data
TrueStretch is free and isn't code-signed, so Windows SmartScreen may warn the first time you run it, and some antivirus programs flag new unsigned programs by default. If your antivirus flags the official file (with a matching checksum), please report it as a false positive to your antivirus vendor — and let us know in an issue.
