If you are one of those who find it difficult to finish the game, let’s take you to our Dark and Darker Playtest guide.
Dark and Darker Playtest Custom Display Resolution
We prefer to use 2:1 aspect ratio to record my content. So we decided to do some digging to see if we could replace the screen resolution with a custom resolution.
TL;DR
Path:
%APPDATA%..LocalDungeonCrawlerSavedConfigWindowsGameUserSettings.ini
Settings to change:
ResolutionSizeX=2560 ResolutionSizeY=1280 LastUserConfirmedResolutionSizeX=2560 LastUserConfirmedResolutionSizeY=1280
Adjust to fit your aspect ratio:
DesiredScreenWidth=1280
DesiredScreenHeight=640
LastUserConfirmedDesiredScreenWidth=1280
LastUserConfirmedDesiredScreenHeight=640
Instructions – Dark and Darker Playtest Custom Display Resolution
Make sure you have a non-destructive text editing app installed.
*Something like: VSCode, Atom or Notepad++
Open file explorer and put this into path input:
%APPDATA%..LocalDungeonCrawlerSavedConfigWindows
Copy GameUserSettings.ini to any dir on your computer for backup purposes.
Open the original file using your text editor.
Set your preferred resolution by changing the following values:
- ResolutionSizeX=2560
- ResolutionSizeY=1280
- LastUserConfirmedResolutionSizeX=2560
- LastUserConfirmedResolutionSizeY=1280
Now, if your new resolution does not match the aspect ratio you were using change these settings accordingly:
- DesiredScreenWidth=1280
- DesiredScreenHeight=640
- LastUserConfirmedDesiredScreenWidth=1280
- LastUserConfirmedDesiredScreenHeight=640
Explanation
I changed ResolutionSizeY & LastUserConfirmedResolutionSizeY from 1440 to 1280.
So, I had to change DesiredScreenHeight & LastUserConfirmedDesiredScreenHeight from 720 to 640 to match the 2:1 aspect ratio.
Without these changes, the game was overwriting my 1280 value.
