The game engine may allow for manual configuration of the game via its variables. See the Unity page for more details.

120+ FPS

When Vsync is on, the game's framerate is locked to the refresh rate. When off, the game is locked to whatever Target Frame Rate is set to, meaning either 30 or 60 FPS.^[2]

Use a third-party tool such as Special K^[3]

Notes:

Vsync must be turned on in-game.

Ultrawide Support

By default game does not support aspect ratios wider than 16:9.

To enable it, follow instructions below:

Use hex editor to enable 21:9 support^[4]

1. Open UnityPlayer.dll file from your game directory with hex editor (for example XVI32)

2. Replace two instances of 39 8E E3 3F with hex-string adequate for your aspect ratio:

26 B4 17 40 for 2560x1080

8E E3 18 40 for 3440x1440

9A 99 19 40 for 3840x1600

In XVI32 click Search and then Replace. There enter 39 8E E3 3F under the first Hex string and your new value under a second Hex string and click Replace all. You should get a notification about 2 replaced instances.

4. Save and exit.

5. Launch the game. It should now show all your aspect ratio resolutions inside game's Video menu, including DSR.

Notes:

You need to force exclusive fullscreen to use DSR. See Exclusive Fullscreen/DSR

Exclusive Fullscreen/DSR

Game runs in Borderless Window by default and does not allow resolutions higher than native, such as DSR. Set your global desktop resolution to targeted DSR resolution to bypass.
