Notes |
Steam Cloud |
|
Approx. 954 MB available. Settings will sync too, except graphics settings. Steam Cloud will not sync any files if the system doesn't have a C: drive.[3] Also, if there is a C: drive but your Documents folder has been moved to a different drive (for example, D:), Steam Cloud will sync the folder in the correct drive, but the game will insist on saving and loading from the C: drive, meaning that Steam Cloud will still not work. Your Documents folder needs to be in the C: drive in order for Steam Cloud to work. |
Video
- Game is limited to 800x600, 1280x720, 1366x768, 1680x1050 and 1920x1080 only. Aspect ratios other than 16:9 are anamorphic.
Set custom resolution[5]
|
- Download MGROverride.
- Enter your desired resolution into the tool and press "Patch".
- Close the tool. You do not need to reopen it unless you wish to unpatch or change to another resolution.
- Select the 800x600 resolution in game to enable your custom resolution.
Notes
- Can cause minor graphical glitches, especially with the HUD.
- You must manually select the 800x600 resolution each time the game launches. This is because the game tries to autodetect the correct resolution for your monitor on launch.
