Video
Resolution
- Native resolution is 568x320,[3] a 71:40 aspect ratio resolution.
The Display Type setting controls how the internal rendered resolution should be scaled and displayed on-screen.
- Original results in a centered 568x320 image, regardless of selected pixel size.
- Double results in a centered 1136x640 image, regardless of selected pixel size.
- Fit maintains the original aspect ratio and applies anamorphic scaling, resulting in either letterboxing or pillarboxing depending on the width and height of the screen area.
- Stretch ignores aspect ratio, and stretches the internal render resolution to fill out the whole screen area.
Both Fit and Stretch display type options results in a slight smoothing/blurring effect over the scaled image on essentially all modern display resolutions. This is a consequence of the interpolation that is necessary to fit/stretch the internal render resolution into what ends up being an unevenly matched target pixel grid compared to the source pixel grid.
The Pixel Size setting controls the internal render resolution before the selected Display Type scaling is applied. Increasing the pixel size can result in a sharper image when using high-res displays.
- 1x results in the internal render resolution being 568x320.
- 2x results in the internal render resolution being 1136x640.
- 3x results in the internal render resolution being 1704x960.
- 4x results in the internal render resolution being 2272x1280.
Integer-ratio scaling
- Using a mod that adds the Integer display type and 5x and 6x pixel sizes, it is possible to achieve pixel-perfect integer-ratio scaling for the game even on 4K monitors.
- Compatibility with future patches is not be guaranteed.
Use CrossCode-IntegerScaling to add new pixel sizes and an integer-based display type[4]
|
- Open the CrossCode-IntegerScaling GitHub page.
- Select Clone or download followed by Download ZIP.
- Extract the
Install-IntegerScaling.ps1 PowerShell script from the archive to <path-to-game>.
- Right-click on the file and select Run with PowerShell. After the patching have finished the file can be removed, although it might need to be re-run after a game update to reapply the patch.
- Launch the game and navigate to the video settings menu.
- Select
Integer as the Display Type, along with the appropriate Pixel Size.
- 1x results in the game being rendered at and displayed as 568x320.
- 2x results in the game being rendered at and displayed as 1136x640.
- 3x results in the game being rendered at and displayed as 1704x960.
- 4x results in the game being rendered at and displayed as 2272x1280.
- 5x results in the game being rendered at and displayed as 2840x1600.
- 6x results in the game being rendered at and displayed as 3408x1920.
- 4K HiDPI users who do not see any difference between 4-6x need to use the
/force-device-scale-factor=1 command-line argument to prevent the game from applying DPI scaling to the game window.
- Restart the game to properly allow the change in pixel size to take effect.
Notes
- To undo the patching applied to the game files, run the
Uninstall-IntegerScaling.ps1 PowerShell script.
- The video settings menu can be made inaccessible after the mod have been removed if the save file still refer to the custom video options. Open the general settings menu and click B Reset all settings to restore the original video settings to be able to access the video settings menu again.

Controller issues in Steam version

Game content does not display correctly in fullscreen (Linux)
A version change that updated NW.js for Linux to a newer version has caused issues in displaying fullscreen (no issues in Windowed) in some Linux environments.
"This issue is because we updated the NW.js version recently for Linux, using the newest version. We did this so gamepad works on Steam Deck, where the game also runs fine otherwise. You can manually downgrade to an older Version of NW.js..." (Lachsen (developer)[citation needed]
Force Steam Linux Runtime (Linux and SteamOS)
The Steam Deck will use Proton even though a Linux version is available. This can cause issues such as micro stuttering while playing or oversatured colors (on Steam Deck).
Set Steam Linux Runtime as compatibility tool
|
- Open Properties for the game
- Enter the "Compatibility" tab
- Mark the checkbox "Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool"
- Select a Steam Linux Runtime, such as "Steam Linux Runtime 1.0 (scout)"
- By default only the Steam Runtime 1.0 is shown as an option. For other versions to show up, such as 3.0, it might be necessary to interact with its library page at least once (such as verifying its files).
- Usage of the Steam Linux Runtime can also help in library conflicts between the game (which uses Chrome underneath) and the system.
- Currently this will break Steam achievements, see #Broken achievements on native Linux build for more info.

Broken achievements on native Linux build
- This issue is specific to the Linux build, running the Windows build with Proton is not affected.
- The dev teams is apparently aware of the issues but will only be able to deal with it once they are done with their next game [7].
With the update to nw.js 0.63.1 (based on Chrome 100.0.4896.127), the dev team didn't update Greenworks (the library which provides Steam integration for Node) properly, which broke Steam integration and caused broken achievements.
The change was likely done because of, among other things, an update for Chrome 99 which improved support for the Steam Input controller [8] (possibly motivated by the Steam Deck).
This basically leaves two possible solutions: either downgrade nw.js (and risk breaking controller support) or upgrade Greenworks.
Upgrade Greenworks using crosscode-greenworks
|
Awakening made crosscode-greenworks available, which contains the files for upgrading Greenworks and fixing Steam integration.
- Visit the crosscode-greenworks release page
- Download the latest version available
- Extract the zip on top of the game's
assets/ folder, replacing all files
