Hi

I've just installed Tachyon: The Fringe and it plays but the max
resolution that it detects is 1024x768.

My monitor is 1600x900. Is there some way of helping it detect the
full resolution?

I've tried running with a desktop, but no joy.

Wine version 1.7.46

Thanks

More info:

I'm using an external monitor on my laptop, so is wine by any chance
detecting the built-in screen rather than the external size?

Hi,

A lot of old games don't support resolutions for modern monitors. In
some games you can set a custom resolution in a config file and other
games can be patched to accept HD resolutions.

A good place to look for this kind of things is PCGamingWiki, and if I
beleive their page at http://pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Tachyon:_The_Fringe
this game does not support HD resolutions nor does it have any patch to
fix this.
