Is there a way to run DW wide-screen or higher rez?
I've done a cursory search of the net and so far the one option I found (from 2009) was only for Win XP and didn't work for most people.
Any suggestions or info would be very appreciated |

I haven't fired up DW for a little while, but if I rember rightly you can change the resolution somewhere under options. Not sure if this can cope with widescreen resolutions though.

1280x1024 is the max that I managed to get it to play with. You could try to increase the .ModeID value manually in the text file DangerousWaters.ini
I couldn't get it passed 3. 4 would make it revert back to modeID 1, which is 800x600. Windowed mode requires Windows to use 16bit color mode. And that is too much of a nuissance for me. Also, it doesn't seem to allow for higher resolutions.

Sorry for necro'ing, but I've managed to get the resolution up to 1600x1200, just so y'all out there know.
