Hi,

I was a big fan when the game first came out. What resolutions are avalable in this updated version of the game.
In the options menu you can choose resolutions from 1024x768 to 1920x1440.

The game does not seem to accept higher values, even if you try to force them by
adding them manually in config\gameStatus.xml.

Hmm, I have an ultra wide screen. 2560 x 1080

For my WQHD monitor (2560x1440) the best options are 1920x1440 (shows black bars),
or 1920x1080 (stretches to fullscreen due to my control center settings, but the picture
isn't as crisp as with 1920x1440).

Dgvoodoo2 isn't an alternative since it creates a 2nd cursor.
Transport Giant works fine on 2k (e.g. 2560x1440), or 4k (e.g. 3840x2160) screen resolutions. The problem is that DirectX 7 doesn't support resolutions higher than 2048, however there are patches that remove this restriction.

Option 1:
Using a very simple LegacyD3DResolutionHack program from: https://github.com/UCyborg/LegacyD3DResolutionHack/releases/tag/v1.0.0
For this one, simply unpack DLL files (d3dim.dll and d3dim700.dll) from the .zip archive to your game folder.

Option 2:
For more advanced improvements, you can use dgVoodoo2 instead: https://dege.freeweb.hu/dgVoodoo2/dgVoodoo2/
For this one, unpack: dgVoodooCpl.exe, dgVoodoo.conf and MS\x86\DDraw.dll from the .zip archive to your game folder. I recommend to play with some settings as there are nice improvements such as windowed mode or other graphical improvements.

Steps that need to be done every time:

The screen resolution can be changed by editing file config\GameStatus.xml
For example:
[code]
<DisplaySettings ScreenHeight="2560"/>
<DisplaySettings ScreenWidth="1440"/>
[/code]

After that, your game will start with the correct resolution, but you won't see it on the list in the game settings. Also whenever you change graphics settings the resolution will be lost and you'll need to quit the game and edit GameStatus.xml again.
