Widescreen

[nannimatta]

I can only run it in 800x600 or 1024x768...is it possible to force a widescreen res?

You can increase the resolution to 1280x1024, but that's it. There was no widescreen available when the game was created. Honestly though, once I get engrossed in a mission, I don't even notice.

800 x 600 also here, if i set it up higher the game hangs and CTD

:(

I think I found a solution: I've tried to use the "DX9res v1.0" by Kegetys.

It just "stretch" the image but it's better than nothing.

To change the options, after using this, you will have to edit directly the dangerouswaters.ini file.

This is the link:

Hope this will work for you also

Tnx ;)

To avoid crash when chaning resolution. Go to game's cfg file and edit ModeID value. 1,2, or 3. 2 is 1024x768.

Stretching the graphics would distort the shape of the vessels. I wouldn't recommend it,

Most games pre-2007 / 2008 don't support widescreen. I just get used to it, like when I'm playing SC4. Messing with the res can also mess up the visuals, so I wouldn't recommend it.

I did that things but don't know which one solved my problem, so: install 'RA 1.41' mod, apply 'Win 8/10 Support' file (d3d8.dll) and edit 'dangerouswaters.ini' --> 'Graphics' --> 'ModeID' 1 to 3.

I play the game 1920x1080 monitor without any black area or strange looking graphics.

I do the same thing but I'm having stuttering in the map when scrolling around and the ship data in the upper left corner of the map doesn't show up when clicking on an entity.

Actually stuttering is one of the *bad* problems for a gamer. Your Hard Drive(s), Power management, any Hardware, Drivers of your Hardware and Monitor; one or all of these things can be responsible of your stuttering.

Notes:
1- If you need help, you have to share lot more -detailed- information than that.

2- Solving problems for drivers of your hardware does not always mean an update, somethimes you need to downdate.

Just installed DW again and stumled across your post. Could you explain to me what do you mean with "apply 'Win 8/10 Support' file (d3d8.dll)"? not really sure what to do exactly. Thx!
