Ultra-widescreen and Multi-monitor

By default, the game does not properly support resolutions wider than 21:9.
Method 1: Hex editing the executable[4]
Always make sure to back up the original .exe file before hex editing.
  1. Go to <path-to-game>\Daymare_MASTER\Binaries\Win64.
  2. Using a hex editor, open Daymare_MASTER-Win64-Shipping.exe.
  3. Using the search function, look for 35 FA 0E 3C. Only replace the last entry in offset 020AD640, as any other breaks the game.
  4. Replace Value with the desired resolution, choose one:
  • 2560x1080 = AA 05 33 3C
  • 3440x1440 = ED D1 33 3C
  • 32:9 = FC CF 65 3C
  • 48:9 = 70 7B 8B 3C
  • 48:10 = 70 7B 8B 3C
Method 2: Modifying configuration file[5]
  1. Navigate to %LOCALAPPDATA%\Daymare_MASTER\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor
  2. Open Engine.ini and under the [/Script/Engine.LocalPlayer] section, set AspectRatioAxisConstraint=AspectRatio_MaintainYFOV
  3. Save the file.
This setting gets reset after a cutscene

Alleviate or eliminate shader compilation stutter

Force enable shader preloading[citation needed]
Massively improves framepacing during gameplay and alleviates most stutters caused by shader compilation.
Can exacerbate level loading and section loading stutters, as the CPU is utilized on all cores to 100%. The Shader Cache has to be compiled again once a display driver has been uninstalled or updated due to the display driver´s shader cache being deleted/reset in the update/uninstall process.
  1. Go to %LOCALAPPDATA%\Daymare_MASTER\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor
  2. Open Engine.ini.
  3. Add the following text as a new paragraph at the bottom and then save the file.
