If I play in 16:9 resolutions, then I would say it's a damaging flaw.

If I play in 16:10 resolutions, I would go with consequential flaws.

If that's how you feel, then I think we should grade it as a consequential flaw, but treat 16:9 resolutions as if they did not work.

Calculated grade: C

CCE: 100%

Registry solution, vert - gameplay, HUD cropping, and impractical 16:9 support are consequential flaws.

People!
You seem to have overlooked that switching to any custom resolution (be it WS or not) does not adapt the internal game code.

This has the nasty side effect that you can't click buttons and units where your mouse cursor is.
Instead, it is shifted and you have to compensate by clicking slightly off a button or a unit.

The higher the custom resolution, the higher the shift, which makes the game practially unplayable, because selecting single units out of a bunch many will make you miss and select a neighboring unit.

This is already apparant in the main menu, where you have to click between the buttons.

Dental seems to think the game is playable at 1920x1200.
