Widescreen resolutions...
So, I know that the game doesn't support anything but 4:3 resolutions out of the box... however with a bit of determination I figured out how to force it to run at my LCD screen's native resolution of 1920x1200. The graphics look fantastic and run very smooth on my X850 XT PE *but* - and this is a bit but - I now see what Telltale was mentioning in other threads about "some issues" with non-4:3 resolutions.
Basically, the game still "thinks" internally in 4:3. So, while I would expect 1920x1200 to either give me the same "viewable" height as 1600x1200 but add on some extra width -or- stretch the picture horizontally (like I can manually set my monitor to do at 1600x1200), it instead gives me the same viewable width while chopping off the top and bottom of the screen (to put it another way, it's showing me 1920x1200 but it's trying to draw 1920x1440).
Which is a major issue, since the top menu bar and bottom inventory are *completely* missing and make the game impossible to use.
However, I would imagine that this really shouldn't be hard to fix, but I think Telltale needs to realize that there are enough of us out there that want to run at 1440x1050, 1920x1200 and even 1280x1024!

I played at 1600x1200 - it worked for me, although I had the feeling, everything was a little bit squeezed.
In any case it would be best to use the native resolution of the screen.
Scaling the image always causes quality loss on tfts...
But it's at least the third topic about screen resolution, why don't just answer to others ? lots of computer screens are now widescreen (16:10) TV ones are 16:9, and older ones are 4:3.
I gave macintosh resolutions in another topic.

Seems to be a popular theme... perhaps this topic is worthy of elevation to stickyness, O Great and Mighty Telltale Administratrix?
Just a thought.
