Does not lock cursor to game. Clicking outside of the game will cause it to minimise.

Widescreen resolution

Changing resolution while using windowed mode also changes screen resolution and may end up in situation where you have to restart whole machine.

Game allows changing resolution. However it's done via - and + icons and game applies resolution automatically and doesn't tell what resolution is used.

Change resolution manually via config^{[citation needed]}
Go to the configuration files location. Open `notimereso` with preferred text editor. If file isn't present start the game once or create it. Edit file with your resolution. It's formatted `W,X,Y` where W is windowed (0) or fullscreen (1) e.g. 1920x1080 fullscreen resolution input `1,1920,1080`. Don't put anything else in the file. Save the file.

Issues unresolved

Severe frame rate and mouse lag

Game suffers from severe lagging even with high end machines. This is mostly because of engine used. There are several ways to minimize it but no complete fix
