Widescreen resolution

Hex edit executable[4]
  1. Go to <path-to-game> and open dusk.exe with a hex editor.
  2. Navigate to offset 0xB9889 and replace 00 00 20 44 with your desired width written as a IEEE floating point value represented as hex in little endian byte order. You can use this tool to do the conversion. e.g. 1920 IEEE float point = 00 00 F0 44
  3. Repeat with 00 00 F0 43 at offset 0xB9893 for the desired height.
  4. Save and select 640x480 in config.exe.
Use the Russian version, but with English files[5]
  1. Go to <path-to-game> and copy these folders somewhere safe: SOUNDS, TEXTURES, txt, and VIDEO.
  2. In Steam, right-click the game and open Properties, under Language select Russian.
  3. After Steam installs the Russian files, paste the copied folders into <path-to-game>, overwriting if asked.
The game will now be in English, but the Russian version's improvements, such as widescreen resolutions.[6]

Notes

  1. 1.0 1.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/317970/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (317970) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
