The file gfxhack.asi (also known as or Silent's GFX Hack ) is a very popular plugin for RenderWare games. Its purpose is to unlock modern graphics features, including:
break on exception ErangeError at 00007e9c
; Safer settings: ForceAspectRatio = 1.777777 ; Forces 16:9 (1920x1080) MaxResolutionWidth = 1920 MaxResolutionHeight = 1080 ; DisableAdaptor = 0 ; Alternative: Use 1280x720 if 1080p crashes
