Ultra-widescreen

Gameplay relies on FOV. Ultra-wide aspect ratios will affect some puzzles and surprises.[2]
Modify save file resolution[3][4]
  1. Download DARQ Ultrawide Resolution Editor.
  2. Launch the editor. It should find the DARQ save file automatically.
    • If it fails to find the save file, drag the save file directly onto the editor icon in Windows Explorer.
  3. Follow the editor instructions and enter the desired resolution width and height. The editor will automatically make a backup of the existing save.
  4. Close the editor window when the message Done! Your new resolution is: [WIDTH]x[HEIGHT] appears.
  5. Launch the game.
  6. If Steam warns of a Cloud Sync Conflict, choose LOCAL FILES.
