Set widescreen resolution by modifying hex values
Open `graphics.cfg` with a hex editor such as HxD or wxHexEditor. Convert the desired resolution to hexadecimal; 1920 x 1080 would be `07 80` and `04 38`. Reverse the beginnings of the values so it would look like `08 07` and `38 04`. Insert the values at decimal offset 00 and 04, the beginning of the file will look like this `80 07 00 00 38 04`. Save the file and launch the game.
