Solutions & Issues

Baseline (Widescreen) Solution & Issues

Native Hor+ support up to 1920x1200 only. For higher resolutions a manual edit is required.

Launch the game once to generate the file: %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Extreme Developers\Hybrid Wars\Saves\QualitySettings.hw
Open QualitySettings.hw in any text editor and adjust the "width" and "height" values in {"currentResolution":{"width":1920,"height":1200,"fullScreen":true}

Note that the fullscreen toggle is superseded by the in-game setting. To play in a custom window, first set windowed mode in-game then edit the resolution in the file.

Ultra/Super-Wide (21:9/32:9) Specific Solution & Issues

Same edit required: %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Extreme Developers\Hybrid Wars\Saves\QualitySettings.hw

Opening FMV is windowboxed.
Fullscreen map is Vert-.

Eyefinity / Surround Specific Solution & Issues

Same edit required: %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Extreme Developers\Hybrid Wars\Saves\QualitySettings.hw

Opening FMV is windowboxed.
HUD spans, health bar is huge.
Character selection and fullscreen map are Vert-.
Skill icons overlap on the upgrade screen; navigation remains easy enough.
Objects tend to pop into view; although more noticeable in Multi-mon this is actually true at any aspect ratio.
