![]() I should mention that other than the lack of options, its a very fun game and I do like it. Didn't try it at non-widescreen resolutions but I assume those will work too. On a 27" 16:9 monitor, 1600x900 is probably your best bet as everything was just right at that res. At least until a patch fixes this oversight. I didn't look deep for any config files, although a quick browse in the game's common folder didn't turn up anything.Īnyways, once you got your batch file, stick it somewhere (I put it in C:\Games but you can put it on your desktop) and use that to launch the game instead of steam.

When done playing you do the same and select extend displays Hold the windows logo key (super key) and press P If you disable all monitors except for one the game starts running really smooth (at least for me).
