Modifying the orb.ini file[citation needed]
Using widescreen resolution will result in GUI elements to render off screen thus inaccessible to player.
  1. Go to the game installation folder
  2. Open orb.ini.
  3. Change the lines with screen_width and screen_height to the width and height the game should run in (ex. screen_width=1680 and screen_height=1050 will run the game in 1680x1050 resolution).
  4. Save the file.
  5. Launch the game.
