My screen resolution is 1440x900.
However, after using the method mentioned above to fix it, every time I open the game, it shows "Invalid graphics configuration," and the graphic settings are reset.
After some attempts, I modified the 16:9 (39 8E E3 3F) value to match my resolution.

Solution:

1.Modify "55 55 15 40" to the hexadecimal value of your resolution according to the original method.

2.Ctrl+R > Click "Hex-values" > Click "Search Direction: All" > Enter 39 8E E3 3F in the "Search for".

3.Replace it with the hex value of your resolution's aspect ratio.

Click Replace All and save.

This worked for me!

Excellent, works great but thank you to Farning for pointing out I needed to go into the options and find 5120x1440 under 21:9.

It worked for me 5120x1440. However as Farning Said, you have to go to graphics Options and select 16:9 and 5120x1440 will pop up there. Start menu will be cropped but as soon as game launches will be full screen.

I somehow managed to find these addresses on my own and just now found this... It works, 5120x1440 looks mighty immersive!!!

Hmm, wondering why it workes for me with V1.06 and not for you guys?
After I edited the Hex i had to change Graficsettings ingame to 21:9 and was able to chose my correct resolution (in Fullscreen).
