Widescreen resolution | See Widescreen resolution. | ||
Multi-monitor | See Widescreen resolution. | ||
Ultra-widescreen | See Widescreen resolution | ||
4K Ultra HD | Too high resolutions (above 1080p) will crash the game; use dgVoodoo2 for these resolutions. The in-game user interface will be very small. | ||
Field of view (FOV) | See the WSGF entry. After starting a new game the normal executable can be used afterwards, so the menus are not broken. | ||
Windowed | Affected by a slow framerate on a windowed mode. See Windowed. | ||
Borderless fullscreen windowed | Main menu breaks when borderless. See Borderless fullscreen windowed. | ||
Anisotropic filtering (AF) | See the glossary page for potential workarounds. | ||
Anti-aliasing (AA) | See the glossary page for potential workarounds. | ||
Vertical sync (Vsync) | Can cause framerate issues, it can be disabled with the vsync=false command line argument. |
||
60 FPS | |||
120+ FPS | No frame rate cap. Use the bltonly=true command line argument to fix potential frame rate problems. |
Widescreen resolution
- Widescreen fixes only work in-game, not on the main menu.
- Widescreen aspect ratios are Vert-; to set FOV see the WSGF entry.
- Some higher resolutions will crash the game; use dgVoodoo2 for these resolutions.
- Any resolution warnings can be safely ignored when prompted (or see here).
