-# Start a game.
-# Open the console by pressing {{key|~}}.
-# Type in: <code>r_customwidth X</code>, where X is width of your desired resolution (for example, for 1680x1050 resolution, replace X with 1680).
-# Now, type in: <code>r_customheight Y</code>, where Y is height of your desired resolution (for example, for 1680x1050 resolution, replace Y with 1050).
-# Type in: <code>r_mode -1</code> to make the game use custom resolutions.
-# Type in <code>vid_restart</code> to restart the renderer and apply new resolution settings.
-# Finally, change FOV using command <code>userFOV X</code>. 100 seems to be a good value for 16:9 resolutions.
-'''Notes'''
-{{ii}} Running a game in a resolution not supported by your monitor will result in OpenGL error. To fix it - edit <code>r_customwidth</code> and <code>r_customheight</code> values in your config file. Refer to [[#Game data|Game data]] to find where configuration file is located.
-{{ii}} Running the game in widescreen mode will stretch some elements of HUD and menus.
-{{ii}} Changing graphical options in-game will make a game run in 4:3 resolutions again. Repeat steps 5 and 6 to make a game run in widescreen mode, again.
