Video[edit]
Graphics feature | State | Notes | |
---|---|---|---|
Widescreen resolution | Limited to 640x480, 800x600 and 1024x768 by default. Steam version in fullscreen 1440x900 (inside perhaps 1280x720 with black borders). A hack for GOG version enables several resolutions up to 1920x1080. There's a similar one for Steam. At least one level for the expansion, The Experiment [Mission 04 - Testing Laboratory] will crash if set to a higher resolution. Also, high resolutions allow a bit of cheating by being able to shoot further than monsters can normally see. | ||
