Field of view (FOV)
FOV can't be changed; widescreen aspect ratios cause a smaller FOV.

60 FPS and 120+ FPS
Frame rate is capped at 30 FPS.
High dynamic range display (HDR)

Widescreen resolution

Camera following distance is affected by the aspect ratio; widescreen aspect ratios lose horizontal FOV in addition to height lost due to being Vert-.
Videos and pre-game menus always run at 640x480 no matter what resolution you use.
Set resolution in bmx.ini[citation needed]
  1. Go to the installation folder and open bmx.ini.
  2. Change the ScreenWidth= and ScreenHeight= values to the resolution you want.
  3. Save your changes.
If the game crashes when loading an area after this change you have set a resolution your monitor can't display.
