Video
- The game normally supports only 4:3 aspect ratio resolutions in the menu. It is however possible to set a 16:9 resolution by editing the
config.ini
file. The resolution that will be set should have the same height as the ones in the menu (768, 600 or 480).
Modify config.ini
- Launch the game at least once.
- Go to
%USERPROFILE%\Documents\Aspyr\The Shield\
- Open
config.ini .
- Set
SCREEN_WIDTH and SCREEN_HEIGHT to the desired resolution.
- Do not change the Screen Mode option in the options menu as that setting is for monitors that stretch 4:3 images to 16:9 or 16:10 but running the game at the native resolution is better than stretching horizontally anyway.
