Video settings

In-game Settings

Game does not have an option to choose between different resolutions, forcing black bars on the sides.

It does however changes the resolution using the Aspect Ratio option in settings, but for some reason it refuses to work on 16:9 and 16:10 aspect ratios forcing it only on 4:3

Template:Video settings

Potential resolution fix

Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Centauri\ALTERNATIVA\gfx_options
Modify the hexadecimal value of the registry named xres to match your wanted value. Example: for 1920 in screen width enter 780 (value of 1920 in hexadecimal).
Modify the hexadecimal value of the registry named yres to match your wanted value. Example: for 1080 in screen height enter 438 (value of 1080 in hexadecimal).

Not guaranteed to work, however you should try it

Refresh Rate (Hz)

Change refresh rate
Go to `HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Centauri\ALTERNATIVA\gfx_options` Modify the hexadecimal value of the registry named `refreshrate` to match your wanted refresh rate. Example: for 144hz enter `90` (value of 144 in hexadecimal)

For another potential resolution workaround, check this guide How-to: About resolution and aspect ratio
