|---|---|---|---|
| Widescreen resolution | |||
| Multi-monitor | |||
| Ultra-widescreen | Some user levels may be not optimised for ultra-widescreen resolutions, thus showing out-of-bounds objects the player is not meant to see during gameplay. | ||

| Anisotropic filtering (AF) | |||
| Anti-aliasing (AA) | |||
| Vertical sync (Vsync) | |||
| 60 FPS | |||
| 120+ FPS | Disabling Vsync enables an FPS cap, which can be changed with the Unlock FPS option (60 FPS by default). Game runs on 240tps, so refresh rates not 60hz, 80hz, 120hz, or 240hz will experience stuttering, and anything over 240hz will only look like 240hz. This can be easily changed with TPS Bypass, only avalible through mods. | ||
| High dynamic range display (HDR) | See the glossary page for potential alternatives. | ||
| Color blind mode | Changes the texture of the portals to one with an icon indicating what they do. Can be hidden with the option Disable portal guide (OFF by default). Orbs can also be changed. | ||

Issues fixed
VRAM leak resulting in unplayable experience until you alt-tab out
