Change Resolution?
How to change the game resolution? As I see it, the game adapts to the desktop resolution.

Or am I missing something?

You're not missing anything.

The game has asset packs for 1080p, 1440p and 2160p resolutions. I am double-checking this but it picks the one that is smaller than or equal your window size, scaling up to fill the space.

This means that if you want to see the highest-resolution graphics on your 2160p (4K) monitor, you need to put it in full screen mode. On my computer at least, if I use a full-screen window it picks the 1440p assets and scales them up to fill the just-under-4K window size.

An asset pack for 720p is also included, by the way. Only cutscenes just have two resolutions (720p, 1080p) and are upscaled if needed.

Sorry, no. 16:10 is the Original borders option, 16:9 is Minimized - if your screen isn't either of those shapes the game will just centre it. Any other aspect than 16:10 needs manual tweaks to the scrolling, so ultra-wide etc. would need its own special treatment & testing.

My monitor only allows up to 1080p resolution, so I assume the game picks assets for that resolution. Is there a big difference in the graphics between 1080p and 4K visuals, that you can actually notice? On the 1080p it appears to me that the backgrounds and character models don't have such a high level of detail for that to matter. And there is no 3D camera type view in the game that sometimes justify using higher resolutions to see fine details from far away. So I'm really wondering if it makes much of a difference visually.

By the way, I appreciate that it supports 16:10. I'm a huge 16:10 fan, and I only buy 16:10 monitors.

16:9 was the extra effort! 16:10 was the original game's aspect.
