Custom resolution

In fullscreen, the game ignores the use of resolutions other than your native resolution.
This presents performance problems for lower-end PCs and can make the game unplayable for PCs with multimonitor display configurations.
Set a custom borderless windowed resolution[4]
  1. Enable windowed mode in the game launcher, then launch the game as normal and close it.
  2. Use the following command line arguments: -screen-width 1920 -screen-height 1080 -popupwindow
Replace 1920 and 1080 with the desired width and height.

Notes

This method will not resize the window to fit the screen.
