120+ FPS

When vsync is on, the game's framerate is locked to the refresh rate. When off, the game is locked to whatever Target Frame Rate is set to, meaning either 30 or 60 FPS.

Use a third-party tool such as Special K
Notes: Vsync must be turned on in-game.

Ultrawide Support

By default game does not support aspect ratios wider than 16:9.

To enable it, follow instructions below:

Use hex editor to enable 21:9 support

1. Open UnityPlayer.dll file from your game directory with hex editor (for example XVI32) 2. Replace two instances of 39 8E E3 3F with hex-string adequate for your aspect ratio: 26 B4 17 40 for 2560x1080 8E E3 18 40 for 3440x1440 9A 99 19 40 for 3840x1600 In XVI32 click Search and then Replace. There enter 39 8E E3 3F under the first Hex string and your new value under a second Hex string and click Replace all. You should get a notification about 2 replaced instances. 4. Save and exit. 5. Launch the game. It should now show all your aspect ratio resolutions inside game's Video menu, including DSR. Notes: You need to force exclusive fullscreen to use DSR. See Exclusive Fullscreen/DSR

Exclusive Fullscreen/DSR

Game is in Borderless window mode by default, which disables the ability to use supersampling techniques like DSR, especially useful in game like this, with very low GPU requirements and lack of any Anti-aliasing options

To enable it, use following method:

Use Steam launch options to force exclusive fullscreen
1. In your Steam library, right-click on the game and choose Properties 2. Click Set Launch Options 3. Enter -window-mode exclusive 4. Click OK and launch the game Notes: This can cause the game be unstable and it may sometimes still launch in Borderless
