Limited resolutions

Resolution hack

Natively, the game only runs at 800x600, 1024x768, and 1280x1024. Using other resolutions will require a hex-edit. Resolutions totalling more than ~4.2 million (32-bit unsigned integer limit) won't work. If the resolution is high enough, zooming out can cause glitches and crashes. Open <path-to-game>\swt.exe in a hex editor like HxD. The hex editor must be run as administrator. Press Ctrl+R, click Hex-values, set Search direction to All, and enter the following into Search for and Replace with: 5802 000068 2003 In Replace with, replace 5802 (600, default height) and 2003 (800, default width) with the desired values from Common HEX Values. For example, for 1920x1080, I would enter: 3804 000068 8007 Click Replace all. Repeat this process with 5802 0000 C686 8400 0000 018B 0D64 334E 0068 2003 to also fix the menu. Save the file. If the resolution reverts after getting ingame try setting the resolution to 800x600.

Game launches in rainbow colors and display is doubled
