60 FPS and 120+ FPS | No frame rate cap, but bullet physics break when FPS exceeds 120, causing bullets to phase through enemies without harming them. High frame rates below 120 will result in exaggerated physics effects, but this does not affect gameplay. Refresh rate can be set when choosing resolution. | ||
High dynamic range display (HDR) | See the glossary page for potential alternatives. |
Widescreen resolution
- Though most modern resolutions are natively supported, on some systems it may be limited to 1600x1050 and will have to be set manually with a hex editor.
