Widescreen resolution
- The game is always letterboxed to 16:9 resolutions. Aspect ratio is hackable by replacing
39 8E E3 3F
in Limbo.exe with the desired aspect ratio value according to here. - The game always uses the desktop's resolution, but by default, it uses a 1280x720 rendering resolution. It's possible to force a higher rendering resolution, but the game intentionally uses blurring and other image filtering methods combined with assets made for 720p resolution, so the impact on graphical quality is negligible.

Issues fixed
Run the game at screen refresh rate
- The game by default uses Vsync (Always on) and also forces the monitor refresh rate to 60 Hz, which results in a limit of 60 FPS.
- Fullscreen mode defaults to 60 Hz, even if the screen refresh rate is set higher than that.
