Dangerous Waters won't run at a resolution higher than what your monitor supports. I used to try doing 1600x1200 back when 1080p was my highest possible resolution and Dangerous Waters did not like it. ModeID has 5 options: 0 (640x480), 1 (800x600), 2 (1024x768), 3 (1280x1024), and 4 (1600x1200).
OK thanks.

My monitor supports resolutions up to 1920 x 1080, but the highest resolution I can select in the game is 1280 x 1024.

Thinking about it, I guess this is an issue of aspect ratio and the game is designed to only work in one aspect ratio? However my image in the game is covering the whole monitor, so does that mean what I'm seeing is actually distorted from what was intended? I am probably seeing the image stretched horizontally?
