Launcher settings (Steam version).

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).

The HUD and all other 2D elements are stretched from 4:3.
