    Checked the data directory using Gust Tools. <path-to-game>\Data\x64\shader contains a filed named ktgleffect.g1s. Checked shaders using 3Dmigoto. The vertex shader file with hash b3b0f3001c33046a contains variables named ktglViewport and ktglColorScale.

    Tested using a custom resolution of 2560x1080. The games resolution setting of 2560x1080 falsely suggests Ultrawide support. Using it however seems to be 1440p and pillarbox like all the other resolutions.
  5. ↑ Verified by User:Fayaine on 2021-11-08
    Checked with custom 3840x2160 resolution.
  6. ↑ Verified by User:Fayaine on 2021-11-09
    Tested by forcing the Vsync to off in the NVIDIA Control Panel. Forcing it off still had it running at 60FPS and Vsync was still active.
