Resolution scaling

Scaling on a 2560x1440 display, zoomed 200% for clarity. Left side uses the default scaling; right side uses a custom screen size scaling multiplier to achieve pixel-perfect scaling.
Scaling on a 2560x1440 display, zoomed 200% for clarity. Left side uses the default scaling; right side uses a custom screen size scaling multiplier to achieve pixel-perfect scaling.
The game uses nearest-neighbor to scale the game from its 400x224 base resolution to the configured display resolution. However, resolutions not of an exact multiplier of the base resolution (essentially all modern display resolutions) will result in a slight smoothing effect over the scaled image.
The option to change screen size multiplier through the in-game settings is exposed, but this option is changed as a limited percentage range of the selected display resolution, and not as a direct scaling multiplier of the base resolution, meaning the option results in too large scaling changes and can not be used to achieve a pixel-perfect scaling of the base resolution.
It is, however, possible to set a custom screen size scaling multiplier by editing the configuration file directly using a text editor.
Set a custom screen size scaling modifier to achieve pixel-perfect scaling[4]
  1. Go to the configuration files location.
  2. Open render.bin with your preferred text editor.
  3. Change screenSizeMultiplier= into the desired value. Listed below are some examples of the highest values possible to retain pixel-perfect scaling for the specified display resolutions:
    • 1366x768: X3F60E3E4, 300% scale
    • 1920x1080: X3F555550, 400% scale
    • 2560x1440: X3F700000, 600% scale
    • 3840x2160: X3F555550, 900% scale
  4. Save and close the file.

Notes

This solution does add black borders around the game to maintain the pixel-perfect scaling. Changing the in-game Screen Scale option will reset the custom value.
You can also calculate the desired value yourself:
  • As an example: for 1920x1080, 400 pixels width goes into this resolution 4.8 times, so we want 4x (400%) scaling to retain the highest possible pixel-perfect size, so 1600 pixels. 1600/1920 ≈ 0.833 (83.3% scale from the resolution selected in-game). Convert this value into IEEE-754 with something like this, and you get 0x3f555555, which is used as the value.
