Widescreen resolution

The game defaults to fullscreen resolution to match desktop resolution and is windowed at 960x540. The game runs fine even on lower-end machines, but some users may prefer to change this, and the developer has acknowledged this.[1]
If you experience flickering when in fullscreen mode, you may need to change the Screen.FullscreenSize setting to your resolution instead of desktop.
Set resolution manually[citation needed]
  1. Run and quit the game so that settings.xml is created.
  2. Go to the configuration file(s) location.
  3. Edit settings.xml.
  4. Edit these values
<Setting Key="Screen.FullscreenSize" Value="desktop" /> <!-- Fullscreen resolution -->
<Setting Key="Screen.WindowSize" Value="960;540" /> <!-- Windowed resolution -->

desktop makes fullscreen resolution to match your desktop resolution, otherwise use X;Y e.g. 1920;1080

Borderless fullscreen windowed

Set borderless[citation needed]
  1. Run and quit the game so that settings.xml is created.
  2. Go to the configuration file(s) location.
  3. Edit settings.xml.
  4. Change existing values to:
<Setting Key="Screen.Borderless" Value="1"/>
<Setting Key="Screen.WindowSize" Value="1920;1080"/> <!-- your resolution -->
<Setting Key="Screen.Fullscreen" Value="0"/>
<Setting Key="Screen.WindowResizable" Value="0"/>
