Video settings
Widescreen resolution
- Widescreen-ready executables - Just pick the one you want, rename the old one, put the new executable and rename it to "comm2". When you start the game, choose 800x600 resolution.
- Retail versions need to have 1.2 patch (mirror) installed to work.
- Destination Paris will not work with this.
Manual process
- You need to override one (or more) of the four built-in resolution options with the custom resolution(s) you want.
- Horizontal resolutions above 1440px, when playing non-tutorial missions, cause major graphical glitches and also crashes the game when zooming.
