Custom Resolutions

Custom resolutions can be used by editing <path-to-game>\Run\bin\win32\nnomads.dll with a Hex-Editor.
Instructions[1]
  1. Open nnomads.dll
  2. Search for any of the 3 default resolution pairs. (Example: 1024 and 768)
  3. Replace them with your desired resolution. (Example: 1280 and 960)
Note that without overwriting an additional byte only 3 digits can be used for the secondary (height) value.
Using widescreen resolutions like 1600x900 is also possible but the HUD will be stretched.
A mod that adds support for specific widescreen resolutions can be found on Nexusmods.
Instructions[1]
The mod requires the patched version of the game.
