Regrettably, the newest addition to this list is Boiling Point: Road to Hell (aka Xenus) from Deep Shadows/Atari. At first, I tried to set the resolution via the game's options menu, but there were only 4:3 modes up to 1600x1200. Having failed there, I edited the .ini file only to be met with an error message at startup: "Game supports video modes only with 4:3 aspect rations. Please configure display settings". Why does this game hates widescreen modes is a giant mystery to me. I mean, Boiling Point is basically a first-person shooter and it would greatly benefit from 16:10 goodness. Fortunately, I have contacts with the developers (one of the perks of working in games industry ;) and I'll try to ask them if it is possible to do something about this problem. |

It would be great if the developer can release a patch curing that. ;) |

I'll use my first post to add a, "Me too!" This game definitely needs some WS support. |

After a bit of tinkering, I got this to work. Try this - Edit GAME.INI and make the following configuration changes - ModeWidth=1280 ModeHeight=768 Windowed mode=1 Launch the application and hit Alt-Enter once you're actually in-game. Full-screen 1280 * 768 with no stretch! |

Nope...this don't work for me. Loading screen comes on and then I get an error message about the game only supporting 4:3. |

Weird... I got that message every time until I switched to windowed mode. Double-check to make sure you're not launching the game in full screen mode. |
