Widescreen resolution | |||
Multi-monitor | |||
Ultra-widescreen | Pre-rendered videos (including the character select screen) are zoomed in, but in-game it displays fine. | ||
4K Ultra HD | There's no in-game resolution setting, it automatically runs at desktop resolution. | ||
Field of view (FOV) | |||
Windowed | See the glossary page for potential workarounds. | ||
Borderless fullscreen windowed | GOG version of the game seems to automatically run in borderless windowed mode on Windows 10. | ||
Anisotropic filtering (AF) | See the glossary page for potential workarounds. | ||
Anti-aliasing (AA) | There's no in-game option, and trying to force it on driver level doesn't work. However, the game files reference MSAA and FXAA. | ||
Vertical sync (Vsync) | Forced V-Sync on Windows 10 due to always running in borderless windowed mode. | ||
60 FPS | |||
120+ FPS | Going above 60 FPS makes the game run faster and can cause voices to de-sync during cutscenes and dialogues. There is no in-game option to cap the framerate. | ||
High dynamic range display (HDR) | See the glossary page for potential alternatives. | ||

Issues unresolved
Game runs too fast
- Over 60 fps causes the game to get out of sync audio and run too fast.Also the game lacks a frame limiter so the only solution is to limit the game to 60fps with Rivaturner Static Server.
