This page is a stub: it lacks content and/or basic article components. You can help to expand this page
by adding an image or additional information.
This page may require cleanup to meet basic quality standards. The specific problem is: Several key elements, such as the importance or need of the High Resolution Patch for non-German versions as well as how, precisely to edit the config files to provide widescreen, multimonitor, or 4K support, are not explained. Furthermore, the article completely lacks any images beyond the game's cover art.. You can help by modifying
the article. The discussion page may contain useful suggestions.
