Widescreen resolution

Example of graphical glitch experienced with horizontal resolution of 1920px.
Example of graphical glitch experienced with horizontal resolution of 1920px.
Widescreen-ready executables - Just pick the one you want, rename the old one, put the new executable and rename it to "comm2". When you start the game, choose 800x600 resolution.
Retail versions need to have 1.2 patch (mirror) installed to work.
Destination Paris will not work with this.

Manual process

You need to override one (or more) of the four built-in resolution options with the custom resolution(s) you want.
Horizontal resolutions above 1440px, when playing non-tutorial missions, cause major graphical glitches and also crashes the game when zooming.
Instructions

Windowed

Unfortunately, playing the game windowed appears to disable edge-scrolling.

To enable windowed, just press Alt+ Enter at any time in-game.

Notes

  1. 1.0 1.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/6830/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (6830) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
