(Solved) Borderlands 2 (Steam version) small resolution

Steam version of Borderlands 2 will not start from Steam itself. Launcher.exe crashes. However, you can start Borderlands 2 using Borderlands2.exe located in ~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Steam/SteamApps/common/Borderlands 2/Binaries/Win32/.

The problem is that it starts in default resolution of 1280x720 or something small like that. 
You can modify the resolution manually in WillowEngine.ini located in ~/My Games/Borderlands 2/WillowGame/Config/ or DefaultEngine.ini in  ~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Steam/SteamApps/common/Borderlands 2/WillowGame/Config/.

I tried these options in both of the files:

ResX=1920
ResY=1080

StartupResolutionX=1920
StartupResolutionY=1080

But they don't change anything. Any idea where and how to change the resolution to something bigger then the default ones?

Re: (Solved) Borderlands 2 (Steam version) small resolution

Ok. I think I found the way. It seems that the Resolution is controlled by two files:

~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Steam/SteamApps/common/Borderlands 2/WillowGame/Config/DefaultCompat.ini
and 
~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Steam/SteamApps/common/Borderlands 2/Engine/Config/BaseEngine.ini

In the BaseEngine.ini I set my desired resolution:

ResX=2560
ResY=1440

In the DefaultCompat.ini I also needed to set my desired resolution:

[AppCompatBucket5]
ResX=2560
ResY=1440
# the rest of the options 

I run the Borderlands.exe from within ~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Steam/SteamApps/common/Borderlands 2/Binaries/Win32/ as follow:

wine explorer /desktop=bd2,2560x1440 Borderlands2.exe
