Solutions & Issues
Widescreen Solution & Issues:

Resolutions are natively detected, everything scales with the correct aspect ratio.

In some cases certain resolutions may crash the game due to DarkStar One using an outdated version of iphlpapi.dll. If this happens simply do the following:
1. Go to the game folder.
2. Delete iphlpapi.dll
3. The game will now automatically use Windows' version of this file instead.

Some higher resolutions may have black graphics if in-game FSAA is enabled. Set in-game FSAA setting to Off if this happens.

Ultra/Super-Wide Specific Solution & Issues:

Resolutions may have black graphics if in-game FSAA is enabled. Set in-game FSAA setting to Off if this happens.

3D menu backgrounds are stretched (except for the main menu).

FMV cutscenes are cropped.

Eyefinity / Surround Specific Solution & Issues:

Resolutions may have black graphics if in-game FSAA is enabled. Set in-game FSAA setting to Off if this happens.

3D elements are rendered at a lower resolution, making everything very jagged and low detail. 3D menu backgrounds are stretched (except for the main menu).

FMV cutscenes are cropped.
