    GuardiaN Video Settings
    GuardiaN continues to favor performance over visual fidelity, focusing on minimizing latency and achieving the smoothest gameplay possible. His video settings include:
    • Resolution
      800×600 (4:3)
    • Aspect Ratio
      Black Bars
    • Scaling Mode
      Full Screen
    • Brightness
      130%
    • Display Mode
      Fullscreen
    • Boost Player Contrast:

    These settings prioritize performance by using lower resolutions and basic textures to reduce distractions and increase frame rates, which is essential for competitive play. GuardiaN’s choice to play with Black Bars and at a resolution well under the default stretches out the image a little and sacrifices a lot of visual appeal for much better frame rate performance.
