Widescreen resolution

Set resolution in PersistentSymbols.ini[3]
  1. Edit <Steam-folder>\userdata\<user-id>\227780\local\PersistentSymbols.ini
  2. Change persistent extern INDEX sam_iScreenSizeI = and persistent extern INDEX sam_iScreenSizeJ = to the resolution you want.
  3. Save your changes and close the file.

Changing the refresh rate

The game seems to choose the lowest screen refresh rate available to the monitor. In order to change the screen refresh rate, press ~ (or the key above Tab) to open the console, enter the line: gap_iRefreshRate=60 (or whatever refresh rate you want) then restart the game.

Alt+Tab crashes to desktop

Alt+Tab will eventually crash to desktop. Happens very rarely, but best way to fix it is to either use Windowed or Borderless Fullscreen.

Notes

  1. 1.0 1.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/227780/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (227780) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
