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.

Notes

  1. 1.0 1.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/12640/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (12640) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
