# How to change graphical settings

Explains that after the launcher was removed, graphics and language options are changed in-game by pressing Escape and opening Settings. Notes that a restart is required for the changes to apply, and that Windowed Mode is set from the same menu.

Since the new update where the game launcher was removed, graphic settings are now adjusted directly inside the game settings.

You just need to press the **Escape** key and then click the **Settings** button.
Once you’ve set your language and graphics preferences, you’ll need to restart the game.
As an additional note, you can switch the game to **Windowed Mode** from this same menu.
