Video settings
Widescreen resolution
- This fix works only for versions 1.2 and 1.3. This will NOT work for Steam version because it is patched to 1.51. You can still use this fix and get game run in your native resolution, but game will be in 4:3 with black bars on sides.

- This fix works for the latest version of DoW.
- The minimap becomes half unusable with this fix. Also, editing the binaries might trigger anti-cheat protection.
