==Supported resolutions==
Just out of curiousity, how did you test this game for 1440x900 support? It doesn't appear in the drop-down menu picture.

==Screen change==
You mention FOV in all of the screenshots, but not in the solution. Is this an error?

==Singleplayer anomalies==
Are there any gameplay menus that stretch?

Yes, the 1440x900 was an error. It was 1600x900 that I tested. I've now tested 1440x900 and 1680x1050, with the custom resolutions I added. The game supports any available Windows resolution. It even properly supported a faux TH2Go resolution (3x5:4) I put into Windows of 2560x862.

And, it should have been Auto FOV on everything. All of the in-game menu dialogue prompts and menus remain their original size, and do not stretch. Will post screens soon.

The "load menu" is streched, but the "black book" in-game menu isn't.
