Using custom resolutions with fullscreen mode crashes the game at launch
If fullscreen mode is enabled and the game resolution is set to any value that does not appear in the resolution drop down menu in the Dash launcher, the game will crash upon launch with this error:

This does not appear to happen if the game is launched in windowed or stretched mode.
Some custom resolutions I tested with: 720x576 960x720 1366x1080 1440x1080 1919x1080
That's DirectX/graphics card driver limitation. What do you except to happen? Custom resolutions were supposed to be advanced tool and I suggest not using them with fullscreen. Perhaps error message could be better and launcher could stop you from configuring wrong resolution. Another option would be to fallback to a valid resolution on game start.
Oh, I see. Perhaps there could be an error message that reads something along the lines of this:
"The selected resolution (resolution) is not supported in fullscreen mode. Please switch to windowed/stretched mode or select a supported resolution from the list."
DirectX does not really give you this information and usually you must guess why initialization failed. Wrong resolution is only one of many reasons. But it can be done by checking list of supported resolutions. Anyways I think it is low-priority issue because people usually use recommended resolutions anyway.
