Borderless fullscreen windowed
The game comes with a configuration setting that says "Run in Fullscreen mode", checked by default. While unchecking this option implies windowed mode, the actual result is the following:
- The game runs at full desktop resolution, as if it was Borderless Windowed.
- If it is a widescreen aspect, the game stretches with distortion.
