I know this may sound a bit weird, but I'm looking for the information, in what screen resolution(s) are working mentioned games - East Front (1997), a.k.a. Eastern Front, and East Front 2 (1999), a.k.a. Eastern Front 2. Both from Talonsoft.

Many thanks in advance for detailed information!

P.S. Yes, I know both are not GOG's offer, I'm asking if by chance someone had contact with (any of) them and know about screen resolution they're working

In Mobygames' Specs section for East Front 1 it says that the supported resolutions are 640x480 and 800x600.
Nothing is specified for East Front 2, but in the Screenshots section I saw 1680x1050 pics. So it looks like it supports much higher widescreen resolutions:

EDIT: Fixed mistakes. Oh, and it looks like East Front 2's opening screen, menu, etc. run on 640x480 but offer higher resolutions during gameplay (from looking at the screenshots).

Thanks, I didn't know that mobygames has such detailed information.

Luckily, I've finally obtained East Front 2, so I could check by myself - and surpisingly, I didn't found any option to change screen resolution, so it's a bit hard to verify. But for sure the main game can't be launched in the resolution lower than 800x600, when I've tried to launch it in 640x480 (compatibility mode), it allowed only to launch main menu, but not the game itself.

If it works like the newest bundled version from Matrix Games (John Tiller's Campaign Series) The game should be fixed 640x480 in main menu and windowed ingame. What I am not sure is if that windowed mode had a resolution mode limit of 800x600 or not. Probably.

In the newest version the game It is fixed 640x480 in menu and windowed desktop resolution ingame. No manual resolution selection.
