+ | {{--}} Since the game doesn't render objects beyond the default 3:2 aspect ratio, any wider aspect ratio will have disappearing objects on the sides due to the fix also increasing the FOV ({{term|Hor+}}). | ||
+ | {{--}} Higher resolutions make the HUD and texts very small, and they become unreadable at resolutions like 4K. | ||
