Video settings
Widescreen resolution
- Allows for either letter-boxing to 16:9 or stretching.
- The game is designed for the resolution of 1280x720 and is not meant to work in lower resolutions. A later released patch has added experimental support for scaling the game to fit smaller resolutions.[2] This however requires a recent enough graphics card with support for the relevant features.
