Field of view (FOV)
Use 21xMachi9 to adjust the field of view.
Windowed
Borderless fullscreen windowed
Two options: "Windowed (Fullscreen)" and "Windowed (Borderless)". The "Windowed (Fullscreen)" setting works similarly to "Borderless", but will apply the game's resolution to an optimal setting that cannot be changed.

Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/1167450/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (1167450) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
