- Download XWAHacker and extract it to the installation folder.
- Run
changeres.bat
. The program will ask you to pick a resolution to modify. - Pick 800x600.
- Next input the horizontal resolution you want when prompted and then the vertical.
- Now go the game and pick 800x600. The game will then run at the resolution you specified.
- To further improve graphics and performance also run
32bitmode.bat
. Keep in mind that this messes up the colors of in-game menus though.
Notes
- Main-menu is always rendered at 640x480.
- This fix doesn't work with Steam version. Use [[XWAU Craft Pack installer instead.

Anisotropic filtering (AF)
Patch the graphics to 32-bit before forcing AF from the level of graphical drivers. See Widescreen resolution.
Anti-aliasing (AA)
Patch the graphics to 32-bit before forcing AA from the level of graphical drivers. See Widescreen resolution.
- Forcing antialiasing might make in-game fonts distorted, to prevent that, enable "Alternate Pixel Centers" if you have an ATI card. Alternatively, force Supersampling anti-aliasing (SSAA) to resolve font distortion.
