Arcanum Windowed

[avatar_58]

I posted this on RPGCodex, but maybe you folks could help. I'm attempting to use D3DWindower with Arcanum. It works, but it won't scale the window. 800x600 is too small at my resolution.

If I attempt to use anything higher it scales the movies, but the main game is tiny in the top left corner.

Planescape Torment and Fallout don't seem to have this issue, not sure why Arcanum does. If there's a better solution let me know.

This might be what you already have, but give it a try if not:

It changes the resolution that Arcanum can run at - but supposedly has bugs.

EDIT:
I just tested Arcanum out using these files:
Arcanum 1.0.7.4
Unofficial patch
D3Dwindower
Arcanum Resolution fix

I tried 1024x768 resolution.

While the game menus did display in the left-top corner, the game ran within the entire screen.

Interesting, it does fix the scaling issue. What bugs does it supposedly introduce? I'm just curious because this is my first playthrough and I wouldn't even begin to recognize them.



EDIT - Wait sorry I misread I can patch, he said specifically my version is okay to update. Many thanks for this res fixer my friend. He mentioned the bugs it causes, but says there may be more he's unaware of.
