Is there any way of having these 'documented' instead? The split torpedo tubes was discussed but there was mention of a number of other things, like CAG, Stevedore, etc.

You guys have done a great job for a long, long time. It would be a shame to fall flat now with 'undocumented' features. Is it just a question of hunting through the database editor?

You're right - these "undocumented features" will be removed from the patch before release.

If you can't get it to work on your box - then keep using normal game resolution and wait for the official patch.

And why not leave them and document them in the Patch readme file?

How do I proceed from here? I see no additional text "-wd –altFont –cpu2 –multiaudio –dd_sw" as described in the readme.

The patches are REALLY hard to find.  Any chance of fixing this in the near future?

No real interest in playing at the normal res on a 30" screen, as I said above though I will wait for the next patch and give it another shot.

Not to be too funny, but are you sure you bought the right game for you ?

Bought the origional on release day and enjoyed it in thoery, but the initial buggy state of the game ended up with it being shelved. So yeh, no problem with the game play or the game itself (have kinda bought it twice now)...1024x768 on a 30" screen makes my eyes bleed though

There is no such thing as an "undocumented feature".
These are called "Easter Eggs".

public beta files have been in the same places since ages ago.
I wonder why those really old stuff / old questions come up every here and then ?

Member area as usual since the first release of a public beta since 2006

Don't be to upset Jigsaw, running at 2560x1600 on a 30" Dell will make the text very small,task force and ground icons tiny, your eyesight better be able to keep up. I'm finding that I don't like it as much as I thought I would at that high a resolution. Although seeing that much real estate is nice.

Should I just try stretching the graphics to a uniform 125 or 150%?

Combat animations are fine, it's the display menu's that need resized.

Ah was worried about that actually, thats a real pity! Is there any way to increase the font size I wonder...maybe the matrix guys could add some support for a larger set of fonts down the track?

Anyway thanks for the update hunchback, looks like I may just have to live with it

I have ancient, 6-YO hardware--nothing like a 30"--but I also tried out the wide screen options. I had exactly the same reaction. Map was glorious, much easier to visualize routes, relative distances between islands, etc., but working with icons and info screens was sheer work. Not fun. I went back to default. Maybe when I get a modern monitor I'll try a mid-point compromise, but for now these middle-aged eyes couldn't take it.
