Template:Video settings

Graphics settings are limited to presets (Min, Medium, Maximum, and Ultra).

2560x1440 (1440p) as well as many non-16:9 resolutions are not listed and will have to be set manually.

Instructions^[2]^[3]

Go to the installation folder.
Create a new file called user.cfg and open it with your text editor of choice.

r_Fullscreen=1
r_Width=800
r_Height=600

Notes

This method will allow you to manually select whichever resolution you desire.

Correcting refresh rate

Reset monitor refresh rate away from 24hz^{[citation needed]}

Issues fixed

Flickering shadows above 1080p resolution

Shadows may flicker across the entire screen when running the game above 1080p resolution.

Switch the game to 1080p then back to 2160p
In the graphics options, switch the game to 1920 x 1080 resolution. After the screen refresh, switch the game back to 3840 x 2160 resolution. The flickering shadows issue should now be resolved. Unfortunately, this solution can only be used for 2160p, not custom resolutions like 1440p that have to be enabled using the widescreen resolution fix.
