Widescreen resolution

Custom resolutions can be set manually. Note that image is Vert-, and FOV should be increased to compensate for the first two options.
Set custom resolution in-game[1]
  1. While in game, open the console with ~.
  2. Enter setres XXXXxYYYY (for example setres 1920x1080).
Edit ini file[2]
  1. Launch the game at least once then close it.
  2. Open RM.ini.
  3. Go to the [WinDrv.WindowsClient] section.
  4. Set FullscreenViewportX and FullscreenViewportY to the desired resolution.

Notes

HUD and menus remain stretched.
Some menu elements become cropped.
Use the Widescreen Fix[3]

Notes

Weapon and camera FOV are both fixed during gameplay and in-engine cutscenes.
Menu elements are no longer cropped.
HUD and menus are stretched.

Field of view (FOV)

Set default FOV in-game[4]
  1. While in game, open the console with ~.
  2. Type fov x, where x is the desired FOV.

  2. Open User.ini.
  3. Define FoV in following lines:
DesiredFOV=85.000000
DefaultFOV=85.000000

Notes

To maintain identical vertical FOV to the 4:3 FOV at 16:9 resolutions, use 106. At 21:9 resolutions, use 121.
Game could start to randomly reset those values. If so, edit those values in <path-to-game>\System\DefUser.ini too.
Weapon FOV stays the same.
High values (approximately 100 and over) may result in objects at long range such as buildings not being rendered.

Windowed

Edit ini file[6]
  1. Launch the game at least once then close it.
  2. Open RM.ini.
  3. Find the section [WinDrv.WindowsClient].
  4. In that section, find an entry WindowedViewportX= and set its value to your desired window width.
  5. In that section, find an entry WindowedViewportY= and set its value to your desired window height.
  6. Set StartupFullscreen= to False to start the game in windowed mode.

Borderless fullscreen windowed

Use SRWE[7]
  1. Start the game in a window.
  2. Download and run SRWE.
  3. Attach the game process.
  4. Enable Remove borders.
  5. Enable Fake fullscreen.

Notes

  1. ↑ 1.0 1.1 When running this game without elevated privileges (Run as administrator option), write operations against a location below %PROGRAMFILES%, %PROGRAMDATA%, or %WINDIR% might be redirected to %LOCALAPPDATA%\VirtualStore on Windows Vista and later (more details).
  2. ↑ 2.0 2.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/286770/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (286770) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
