DPfix

Increases resolution above 1280x720, adds many graphics/window options and more.

When running the game in fullscreen mode, using Alt+Tab ↹ will crash the game. Use windowed or borderless windowed mode to prevent these crashes.

To use unzip the files to the game's install folder, and change the options you want in the DPfix.ini file.

Controller remapping

The game's launcher allows to rebind all the buttons as well as triggers. However the game uses DirectInput, instead of modern XInput API - because of that, you cannot bind Look / Draw Weapon to Left Trigger and Attack to Right Trigger, as pressing both will result in no action being taken.
