Level of detail

Game switches between high and low quality models depending on the distance from the camera.
Instructions[1]
  1. Go to <path-to-game>\library\engine\.
  2. Open detail.cfg with a text editor.
  3. Increase the value of MrmDist, so higher quality models are rendered even far away.

Widescreen resolution

Game only lists first 22 available resolutions in the options menu (usually 1280x1024, 32-bit is the highest resolution available).
dgVoodoo 2 can be used to force custom resolutions, while the resolution set in the options menu controls the aspect ratio.
Menus and in-game interface size is based on the resolution set in the options menu and is scaled properly on very high resolutions.
Instructions[1]
  1. Download the latest version of dgVoodoo 2 and unpack it.
  2. Copy all the files from the MS folder.
  3. Paste the files into the game installation folder.
  4. Run dgVoodooCpl.exe and in the DirectX tab set the desired resolution.
  5. In the game options menu select a resolution that has the same aspect ratio as the one set in dgVoodoo.

Notes

For ultra-widescreen in the GPU control panel create a custom ultra-widescreen resolution that is smaller than 1280x1024 (like 1280x540), so it can be selected in the game options menu for the proper aspect ratio.
