Higher resolutions

Change value of screenres=[2]

In acsetup.cfg, change the value of screenres= to one of the following to force higher resolutions:
0 = 320x200
1 = 640x400
2 = 1024x768 (not recommended, causes windowboxing and messes with cursor)
3 = 1280x800
4 = 1600x1000

Certain textual elements, such as dialogue and action prompts, do not scale to higher resolutions, and as such are smaller on higher resolutions. Try Lossless Scaling instead.
