Video

Graphics feature State Notes
Widescreen resolution
Maximum resolution seems to default to that of the smallest monitor. UI issue can also occur with parts of the minimap becoming obstructed.
Multi-monitor
Possible to force multi-monitor support, but the UI stretches and no fix is known
Ultra-widescreen
The entire screen is stretched horizontally to fit the monitor's aspect ratio
4K Ultra HD
Field of view (FOV)
It is an RTS however, so its need is debatable
Windowed
Add -window parameter[1]
Borderless fullscreen windowed
See the glossary page for potential workarounds.
Anisotropic filtering (AF)
See the glossary page for potential workarounds.
Anti-aliasing (AA)
See the glossary page for potential workarounds.
Vertical sync (Vsync)
Enabled by default. Running in windowed mode disables Vsync.
60 FPS and 120+ FPS
Options menu has a slider for framerate. Function is unknown. Needs additional testing.
Color blind mode
In multiplayer games, it is possible to choose a player's color by repeatedly clicking a colored orb by a player's name. This recolors the structures that player builds and the icon on each of their units.
