Screen Resolution Issues

[RavenFB]

My laptop's monitor is 1920x1080, but when I run this game in that format, I end up with part of the screen chopped off. So, I decided to try changing the resolution to 1600x900. It fits. So what's the deal? Are the resolutions incorrect? Why is 1600x900 precisely fitting my 1920x1080 screen, and setting the game to the proper size ends up chopped off?

Further info: Running the game with textures set to 32-bit, using nVidia 460M graphics adapter.

i had to play this at 1024 x 768.

I would like to know this as well. I think it is still chopped off at the top at least, because when ever you get inside a station, their security camera icon at the very top seems to be cut in half. That may just be how the game is, but I doubt it. I tried every resolution setting in the options. Not sure what else to do at this point.

Hi there,
I was trying to play X-btf above Full HD resolution (4k). Due to the circurmstand, the above resolutions are greyed out, I tried to find a way to work with the entries of the registry. In Windows 11 you'll find them here: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\EGOSOFT\X. The SYSVIDEOMODE sets the resolution and the color depth (16 or 32 bits).
Unfortunately the result was, that resolutions like 2560x1600 or 3840x2160 are not working, you'll get an error when you start the game.
Nevertheless I'd like to share my result with you:
To set the resolution via registry, you have to convert your width and height from decimal to hexadecimal and write each number in reverse order into the registry.

Example:

Resolution 1920x1200
1920 (dec) - 780 (hex)
1200 (dec) - 4B0 (hex)

Reversed:
780 - 80 07
4B0 - B0 04

Registry:
80 07 B0 04 (for 1920x1200)

Other resolutions:

2560x1600 / A00 640 / 00 0A 40 06 (not working)
1920x1200 / 780 4B0 / 80 07 B0 04
1680x1050 / 690 41A / 90 06 1A 04
1440x900 / 5A0 384 / A0 05 84 03
3840x2160 / F00 870 / 00 0F 70 08 (not working)
1920x1080 / 780 438 / 80 07 38 04
1600x900 / 640 384 / 40 06 84 03
1366x768 / 556 300 / 56 05 00 03

Kind regards ...
