Video settings
Widescreen resolution
Postal runs natively in 640x480 resolution and there is no option in a menu to change resolution. However, it's possible to enable upscaling in the Steam version[citation needed] to any resolution desired. Unfortunately, game only allows for 4:3 resolutions and it's going to use letterbox for widescreen resolutions. Developer is planning on making a patch to allow playing in widescreen resolutions.
