I'll have to try that, because I never found any additional resolutions.
Except that the list of resolutions changes when switching monitors.
First it was all like this and that at 85Hz etc. Now it's all 60-75Hz with an LCD, and some different resolutions too.

The highest currently shown is 1280x9-something though.
Which is unfortunately just over the 800 I need vertically.
I think that one is probably a 16:9-resolution as the 3D-graphics are stretched horizontally.
And then probably the HUD stretched extra, worse than in 16:10-resolutions I mean.

Before that i used the "+szx 1680 +szy 1050" in the shortcut without the "+widescreen 1" and that also worked.

Hm, I think it will just not fall for the resolution-command without adding the widescreen-command.
I'm not 100% sure as I've tried so many different ways, but I think it didn't work some time ago.

Aha, I didn't know that.
I knew that the command-line was picky about spaces,
but I'd have thought one of those two ways (with or without space) would simply have been wrong.

I'd think so too, it just fails to do so here...

If not, I'll have to add a resolution manually too, including the widescreen-command with the space.

I see it doesn't officially support 1280x800 though...
But I also tried the 1440x900, which is supported, but doesn't work either.
I'll try both again.


Thanks all for your posts.
I'll see what happens right now.


Edit:

OK, this is odd...
I've tried all ways I can think of now.
The way of adding '+widescreen 1' ónly works; there are more resolutions in the game's menu itself.
Like 1680x1050, which like the manual way works too, except 1280x800 and 1440x900 are nowhere to be found.
So I tried adding those to the target-line in the shortcut, both before and after the "widescreen", which it just refuses to launch with.

Could it be possible my monitor itself doesn't support them?
Would be weird actually, to leave out some of the 16:10-resolutions while it is able to use 4:3- and 16:9-resolutions...
