It is in your Dangerous Waters installation directory. You could also just search your operating system for the file "dangerouswaters.ini"

Back to dangerouswaters.ini - under the [Graphics] section change the number after .ModeID to 3.

If your monitor doesn't support a screen height of 1200 pixels, you won't be able to run that resolution.

Ok did it but the Problem still excist when put 1600*1200 game crash.
My monitor support 4096*2160

You can't change the resolution from inside the game in Windows 8 or 10. It has to be done by changing the modeID while outside the game. I was mistaken about the number though: 3 is 1280*1024. 4 should give you 1600*1200. Sorry about that, I'm running 1920*1080 so don't have the option for higher than 3.
