I'm trying to run the game in my 1920x1080 display and finding lot of problems to do it.

I downloaded the resolution patch a kind user uploaded some time ago, but it seems the menus and some of the screens are being displayed in a wrong way:

This is the geoscape:

This is the squad screen:

Is this normal? There is any way to "fix" this display? I haven't almost started to play, as I don't want to find myself against weird resolutions or unreachable buttons. Any idea?

Yes it is not very goodly done, so I stand with the 1024x768 original resolution...

Darn, so, no way to "fix" those menus? I didn't miss anything in the other thread's tutorial?

Can you repost your images? I'd love to fix these issues.

Sure! I got lucky, as Steam, for some reason, duplicates my screenshots and had a copy of both of them:

If you could make VFS-View compatible with Windows 8.1 too...

EDIT: It seems good, it works back since some month.

Oh weird, I know the Squad screen is a long-standing problem and one that I've found incredibly hard to fix as changing the aspect (from 4:3 to 16:9) affects the scaling of the camera translation matrices for "UI cameras". Your geoscape view does look incorrect though; It should look as it does in the screenshots on the download site. Hmm.

The mods for the resolution changes are done almost completely as binary mods in disassembly, and the other file merely changes some window positioning. To make most things fit *more* appropriately.

It is far from perfect and it's definitely a hack job, but even with the top of the characters in Squad cut off (which only happens in the community patch version for some reason), as someone who has played the game through already I found the increased resolution for tactical gameplay more of a boon.

I would love for the publisher/dev to work with me or allow me to check out the source so we can fix this once and for all.
