So I had my laptop hooked up to a 49 inch 5120/1440 monitor, which I disconnected because I needed to go out. Unfortunatly, my laptop monitor is 1920x1080 so I lose a lot of screen realestate. This means when I open the client and press escape, all of the settings are off-screen.

Is there an ini file somewhere that I can change the resolution manually so I can play the game? Thank you,

Unfortunately, the login window cannot be moved or I would just drag it into view to modify the settings.
