In Patch1.13c it says the highest 4:3 rez is supported now? How do I do this? Game options still only go to 800x600.

Step by step instructions would be very helpful. I'm assuming you have to open up the command lines in game. I can't remember how to do this either.

Sorry for the confusion. What the patch notes say are:

Q u o t e:

- Support for blit scaling in windowed mode. The game can now be maximized to the largest 4:3 resolution supported (hooray widescreen users).


What this means is that (when in windowed mode) when you press the maximize button (which is also new in 1.13) the window will stretch to fill the largest available 4:3 square on your display. When the window stretches, so does the image. This is not a way to run the game in a higher resolution than 800x600. When we say "(hooray widescreen users)", we mean to highlight that widescreen users who weren't happy with their graphics cards distorting the 4:3 game image to the native widescreen aspect ratio of their display, can now run the game in maximized windowed mode without image distortion.

Additionally we also added the option for users who would still like the image to distort itself, (to fill up the available horizontal space) through the command line argument –nofixaspect (which can be added in your game shortcut properties).

There are no in-game menus for changing these options or using these features.
