Hydrophobia Prophecy is a significant rework of the original Hydrophobia, which you linked to.

To quote Wikipedia: "approximately 70% of the game is new and previously existing levels have been reworked"

It is significant enough to warrant it's own DR as it's an all new version of the game.

It's wreid. I could play it in 1920x1080 in perfect 16:9 without problems or hacks.

I figured this out. Your desktop resolution needs to be of the same aspect ratio as the game or else it will appear stretched or squashed. DR updated.

My DR was for Hydrophobia: Prophecy actually. The original version of the game wasn't even released on PC, they waited until the Prophecy update for that. But this is a better DR anyway since mine is less complete. This is because the first DR was generated from a post of mine in the multi-monitor forums that was just showing how to get the game working in surround.

The thread title being wrong was just laziness on my part. And the image in the DR is the games image from wikipedia.

Back in the day, The One And Only Paddy had gathered detailed info on the interface issues for the devs to look into: http://forums.steamgames.com/forums/sho ... ?t=1889913
Unfortunately, the pics have vanished, Dark Energy Digital is no more - and the TH issues remain.

Not sure if it's very useful, but I felt compelled to post this. Paddy rulez.

Hayden did make a fix for TH for this game but it wasn't 100% refined and he didn't get any interest in continuing the fix, so it was never released either.
