Widescreen resolution

The Steam version supports custom resolutions in the launcher. Use these steps for non-Steam versions.

Set resolution and FOV in config.cfg^[5]

If the game is showing the launcher on startup, check the box to skip it then run the game and exit.
Go to <path-to-game>\duke\base
Edit config.cfg
Change uset r_mode to the resolution you want.
Add the line uset g_cam_fov "90" with the horizontal FOV you want (default is 50).
Save your changes and close the file.
Make the file read-only (this prevents the FOV line being removed when you exit the game).

Issues Fixed

Can't double jump

When running above 60 FPS double jumping doesn't work and Duke can get stuck when intending to climb up ledges, landing on downward-moving platforms in the final episode leaves Duke stuck in a jumping animation until the platform starts moving up again, making some sequences difficult to complete

The game uses vsync (enable by default) both in Direct3D to OpenGL mode .but in Windows 10 in Direct3D mode it doesn't work because the game uses Directx 8 and vsync of Directx 8 in Windows 10 is broken.

Change driver from Direct3D8 to OpenGL or vice versa and set monitor on 60hz^[7]

Cap the framerate to 60^{[citation needed]}
See Frame rate capping

Use (d3d8to9 only windows 10) and set monitor on 60hz^{[citation needed]}
