Edit Iwo.ini[1]
  1. Launch the game at least once then close it.
  2. Go to the configuration file(s) location.
  3. Go to the [WinDrv.WindowsClient] section.
  4. Set FullscreenViewportX and FullscreenViewportY to the desired resolution.

DefaultFOV=85.000000

Notes

To maintain identical vertical FOV to the 4:3 FOV at 16:9 resolutions, use 106. At 21:9 resolutions, use 121.
Game could start to randomly reset those values. If so, edit those values in <path-to-game>\System\DefUser.ini too.
