I will try that one and tell you...
The most commonly reported problem with the Res Fix mod seems to be with taking in-game screenshots. Installing the mod changes the screenshot "command" to the PrintScreen key on your keyboard. I don't have any problems using it, but for a lot of people the game crashes when they use the mod and then try to take a screenshot.

Best advice if you use the mod is to install it and then load a single mission or "test" career and try out a screenshot and see what happens before you risk a crash in the middle of a career patrol.

Also be aware that if you use the Mission Editor, this mod will interfere with that - you can still open the program and relevant files, but because of the altered resolution the display will be awful. The workaround for this is to temporarily rename the d3d9.dll file that the mod has you copy to your game folder, then open Mission Editor and do your stuff. Just remember to change the name of the file back to d3d9.dll before reloading the game itself.
