60 FPS and 120+ FPS
Frame rates up to 120 work fine. Modern machines can run this game at 1000+ FPS, however very high (~200+) frame rates will cause bugs such as broken camera control and more.

Widescreen resolution

Set the desired resolution in configuration files[citation needed]
  1. Go to <path-to-game>\maps\
  2. Open CONST.LGC.
  3. Find the following lines:
    static int RT_SCREEN_X[] = { 800, 1024, 1024, 1024};
    static int RT_SCREEN_Y[] = { 600, 768, 576, 640 };
  4. Change one of the resolutions to the desired value - for example changing 800 and 600 to 1920 and 1080.
  5. Go to the configuration file location.
  6. Go into saves
  7. Edit _global.dat.
  8. Find the lines iScreenX and iScreenY and change them to the desired resolution matching the one above.
  9. Set the resolution in the game options to the one you changed, for example 800x600.

Notes

When you change the resolution the menu background will display incorrectly (anchored on the bottom right in original res), however the menu itself and game work and display correctly (centered, limited to 1024x768 in size). Also note higher resolutions can give you an advantage as they will indeed show more of the game area and allow you to shoot further, though this game is incredibly difficult on the higher settings so it's not really an unfair advantage.

Windowed

Manually change the setting[citation needed]
  1. Go to the configuration file location.
  2. Open _global.dat.
  3. Find iFullScreen and change it to 0.
  4. Change the resolution using these steps.
