Custom Resolution[citation needed]
  1. Open <Steam-folder>/userdata/<user-id>/41010/local/SeriousSamHD_TSE.ini using a text editor.
  2. Find the lines gfx_pixResWidth, gfx_pixResHeight, gfx_pixLastGoodResWidth and gfx_pixLastGoodResHeight.
  3. Now type the desired resolution, for example:
    4. gfx_pixLastGoodResHeight = 2160;
gfx_pixLastGoodResWidth = 3840;
gfx_pixLastGoodWinHeight = 2160;
gfx_pixLastGoodWinWidth = 3840;
gfx_pixResHeight = 2160;
gfx_pixResWidth = 3840;
gfx_pixWinHeight = 2160;
  4. Now save and set SeriousSamHD_TSE.ini to "Read Only" in properties.
