Startopia supports all kinds of modern resolutions which is great. Unfortunately widescreen resolutions such as 1920x1080 are stretched. Is there any fix for this that anyone's found?

Edit:
Fixed thanks to jackfuste on the Widescreen Gaming Forums:

Aren't just the menus that are stretched? Game itself should render correctly.

Yeah, the game it self is fine. its just the main menu that has the problom. Why you would want to play it at 1920x1080 I don't know tho. The UI is to small when the res is up that high.

Strange, it's definitely stretched on mine, I've compared with 4:3 ratios. Circles are ovals, boxes are squashed, squares are rectangles etc.

Windows 7 64-bit, GTX 670, GOG version. I've tried the different T&L settings etc - anyone have any ideas?

(I'm playing on a 40" TV so the small UI is not a problem.)

Edit: Attached 2 screenshots.

1920x1080 (16:9 ratio):

Same here: UI is fine, but the game itself is stretched, exactly like on Khalans screenshots. Not a big issue, but definitely noticeable.

jackfuste on Widescreen Gaming wizzed up a fix for the stretching. Just replace the files in the aspect ratio of your monitor in the main game folder. Replace and run the game.

I don't have this error. Even just re-downloaded the file to be sure. So I guess either your download is corrupt or you need to update your extraction utility. Try the newest version of winRar for example. Works for me.

Thanks! That worked - Turns out Winrar can be out of date without even telling me!

dropbox is blocking that link saying that it's generating too much traffic, does anybody have a other link to the file?
Specifically dropbox is giving an error 509
Error (509)
