Widescreen resolution

0 A.D. runs at the desktop resolution by default. Either method below will change this.
Change resolution in shortcut (Windows only)[citation needed]
  1. Go to the shortcut properties.
  2. Add the resolution to the end with -xres= and -yres=, e.g. for 1280x720 use -xres=1280 -yres=720.
Change resolution in local.cfg (all platforms)[citation needed]
  1. Go to the configuration file(s) location.
  2. Make a text file called local.cfg (if it does not exist already).
  3. Add the following lines, replacing 1280x720 with the resolution you want:
    xres = 1280
    yres = 720
  4. Save your changes.

Field of view (FOV)

Create local.cfg[1]
  1. Go to the configuration file(s) location.
  2. Make a text file called local.cfg (if it does not exist already).
  3. Insert the line view.fov = #, where # is your FOV in degrees
  4. Save the file and boot up the game

General settings

Every option can be set in the text-file local.cfg. Just create local.cfg in the appropriate folder and insert the key=value pairs you want to set. For details where to place local.cfg, see Game data

OpenGL

You can enable advanced OpenGL rendering features by setting some variables in local.cfg. Enabling those might need a better GPU than those specified under minimal system requirements.

Feature local.cfg entry
GLSL Shader (both cfg entries needed)
preferglsl = true
gentangents = true
Smooth LOS interpolation (needs GLSL Shader)
smoothlos = true
High quality shader (needs GLSL Shader)
materialmgr.quality = 10.0
High quality water rendering (needs GLSL Shader)
waternormals = true
waterrealdepth = true
waterfoam = true
watercoastalwaves = true
waterrefraction = true
waterreflection = true
watershadows = true

Input settings

Template:Input settings

Remapping

Add this (or just some parts) to local.cfg and edit the entries to suit your needs. Everything after a Semicolon (;) is a comment. A single action can be assigned to multiple keys by separating them with a comma.

Key combinations can be specified using this syntax: <Key1>+<Key2>+<Key3>
