Essential improvements

1440p/2160p support + Bigger Fonts Size Patch

Download Patch here : https://community.pcgamingwiki.com/files/file/2139-black-mirror-trilogy-4k2k-bigger-fonts-patch/

Allows native 1440p/2160p without ini modification and makes text readable on very high resolution

Has side effects on option & load/save menu readability due to fixed background images.

After applying the patches to Black Mirror II and III, the games language will change. To set the language back to your desired language first start up and close the game again, then go into the "...documents/blackmirror" folder and open the config.xml with a simple text editor. Scroll to the bottom and change "Localization Language=X" to your desired language. All language optoins have to be entered in english and lower case. (english, german, french, italian, spanish, czech, polish)
