| Widescreen resolution | Go into the game and change the resolution (doesn't matter which one). Exit the game and go to the Saves folder (in the game folder) and open the profile.dat with Notepad/Notepad++ and you will see the resolution you chose beneath the first line labeled "OPTIONS" and you can change it there and save the changes. | ||

| Field of view (FOV) | Use one of the FOV files included with Functional Ironsights & Extended Viewmodels. | ||
| Windowed | Use D3DWindower. | ||
| Borderless fullscreen windowed | See the glossary page for potential workarounds. | ||

| Anti-aliasing (AA) | See the glossary page for potential workarounds. | ||
| Vertical sync (Vsync) | See the glossary page for potential workarounds. | ||
| 60 FPS | |||
| 120+ FPS | No frame rate cap, but bullet physics break when FPS exceeds 120, causing bullets to phase through enemies without harming them. High frame rates below 120 will result in exaggerated physics effects, but this does not affect gameplay. Refresh rate can be set when choosing resolution. See Issues fixed. | ||
