1080p screen support (and random crashes)

[Chrisandres]

The only "big" complain I have about this game is that.

I have a 1080p monitor, but in the options I can't find that resolution, so I have to play in another big resolution which causes the black borders on my screen.

I'm not really in a big hurry about this but still I'd like to know if someone found a solution if it ever exists

(I also suffer from random crashes but I don't really mind because as I played this game when I was a kid it didn't took me too much time to complete it)

Edit: I forgot to specify that I did check the options by pushing the "Play" Button, otherwise the game will crash at startup

Did you launch the "display settings" menu?

When you click the Steam Library "Play" button, you should see the menu option.

I did, in fact, that's why I'm doing this post, because there is no 1080p resolution, the max is bigger so it gives me the black borders

Can you find the settings in the registry using Regedit?
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4027573/windows-10-open-registry-editor

Look here:
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\LucasArts Entertainment Company LLC\Star Wars: Episode I Racer\v1.0

if so, you could try modifying the
Display Height : to hexadecimal 438, decimal 1080
Display Width: to 780, decimal 1920

If not running the game as administrator, the registry location may be:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\VirtualStore\MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node

Unfortunately it didn't fix the problem, it sets the resolution to minimun, even if in regedit it says it's 1080x1920, the game just ignores that, and of course, it crashes while loading.

Still, thanks for your support, I guess I'd just have to live with those black borders, after all it's not that bad when you get used to them
