Issues fixed

Game doesn't start on low-end PC

By default, the game uses 3D acceleration when you start the game for the first time. This makes very low-end computers unable to start the game.
Disable 3D acceleration[citation needed]
  1. Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SteamPopCap\ZumasRevenge
  2. Add the following DWORDs respectively with value 0 and 1
Is3D
Pre3D

Can't use high-resolution mode

Force game into HD resolution mode[3]
  1. Edit <path-to-game>\compat.cfg.
  2. Search for the following two functions (line 53):
function(int) GetAppDefaultRes
{
  var bool isHiResHardware = call IsNVidiaOrATI();
  log("isHiResHardware = " + isHiResHardware);

  if (isHiResHardware && (compat_AppSysMemTotalMB >= 768) && (compat_AppOrigScreenHeight >= 1000) && (compat_AppVidMemory >= 92))
  {   
    return 1200;
  }
  else
  {
    return 600;
  }

}

function(bool) IsHiResSupported
{
  if (compat_AppVidMemory < 92)
    return false;
  return true;
}

3. Replace those with: 

function(int) GetAppDefaultRes
{
  var bool isHiResHardware = call IsNVidiaOrATI();
  log("isHiResHardware = " + isHiResHardware);
    
  return 1200;
  
}

function(bool) IsHiResSupported
{
  return true;
}

Registry entry "HiRes" under "Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\PopCap\ZumasRevenge" might have to be set to "1"

Incorrect aspect ratio in high-resolution mode

In high-resolution mode, the game is always rendered at a resolution of 1920x1200 (16:10 aspect ratio). If the display supports the 1920x1200 resolution, then the game will set it automatically. Otherwise, it will not change the display resolution and the rendered game will be stretched.

If the display's native resolution does not have an aspect ratio of 16:10:

  1. Set the scaling mode to Preserve aspect ratio or Center, either on the display if GPU scaling is disabled, or on the GPU software if GPU scaling is enabled.
  2. If the display does not support the 1920x1200 resolution, create a custom one with an aspect ratio of 16:10 to use with the game. For instance, if the display's native resolution is 1920x1080 or 2560x1080, create a custom resolution of 1728x1080. If the display does not support such resolution, GPU scaling can be used. See the glossary page for details.
