*AMD users can use a tool called [http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/322663-15-radeon-custom-resolution-manager Radeon Custom Resolution Manager] and add the desired custom resolution under the "other" aspect ratio category. It is recommended that you save your work and quit other open applications before using RCRM.
 
*Nvidia users can specify a custom resolution through the nvidia control panel.
 
 
{{++}} This way of altering the field of view will allow the player to regain some sense of peripheral vision, without altering the ratio between character height and image height. This preserves to some extent the original intention underlying the composition of the frame.
 
 
{{--}} The image will effectively be cropped. Black bars will appear at the top and bottom of the screen.

Field of view (FOV)

There is deliberately no in-game option to modify the FOV.
The only solution introduces letterboxing.

Remapping

The game has very limited remapping available. Better re-binding is hackable.

Issues fixed

Mouse Lag and Random Sensitivity

Enabling Vsync in the game options introduces noticeable mouse lag and limits the game to 30fps. Disabling Vsync fixes this but also creates the problems of random sensitivity and screen tearing.
None of the options affect gamepad use
