The work on the Arcanum High Resolution Patch is progressing nicely and a test version is mostly complete. Here are some screenshots of different resolutions:
1024x768
1280x960
1680x1050
1600x1200
The Arcanum High Resolution Patch will feature:
- Full support for any resolution.
- All elements of the interface perfectly centered.
- All elements of the interface remain their original size with no custom graphics in any resolution.
- Full compatibility with any mods that are based off the 1.0.7.4 version.
- Full compatibility with older save games.
The patch will be released shortly. |

*squeal* I can't wait to play high-res Arcanum! Looks absolutely epic, as always. Kick ass work, Drog! _________________ "Writer's block: it affects the best of us, and doesn't affect the worst of us enough."

I love your work about the patch, but this almost excites me more than all the content you've already fixed/restored/whatever'd.
Looking forward to it greatly! _________________ There are things in this world that I dislike. One of the things I dislike the most is a serious argument, well constructed, delivered by someone who makes themselves difficult to respect. |

Finally, my 1920x1200 widescreen will actually have the proper Arcanum ratios instead of forced stretching of a crappy 800x600 across a widescreen, screwing up the aspect ratios.
This + Drog's patch could be the final pushover that gets me to finish this damn game once and for all.
No rush buddy, you do this for free/fun/bribe money/whatever, but man......I'm looking forward to this pretty hardcore. _________________ There are things in this world that I dislike.

Registered to show my respect to Drog Black Tooth. I should have done that earlier with first unofficial patch releases, but this pure extraction of awesomeness was the last drop. I wish every game had such enthusiastic person who will polish stuff for his own amusement.
Troika made incredibly good CRPG, but you made it perfect. I hope, once you finish with Arcanum you will check Baldur's Gate's modding possibilities.
Огромное спасибо за всё. Так держать! |

| As far as I'm concerned, Quin can keep his head wherever he likes. I like the black-on-garnet. |

Everyone's head has to be somewhere. Where your's was when you came up with the idea of post in black text on dark background was the issue.
Rule: no. Common sense: required.

I stand corrected.
Rule: yes.

Since the tree supposedly took the life of DE recently, I'm not sure if he deserves the name "Tree Bane".
He has yet to kill the tree. _________________ CyberNation?

Sorry, I thought about for like two seconds... I thought it was to be over a red background, but it was my first post here so WTF do I know... Since no one had the since to, I don't know, tell me to correct it, highlight it to read it if it was on a black background, re post it as a quote while making fun of me for it, or anything... other than removing it... thanks allot. BTW is it gone forever? I forgot exactly what I said, but I remember that it was very nicely put together, in my opinion.
Anyway... Drog, any details on how to personalize the resolution, e.g. some kind of menu or the use of a hex editor (I really don't know how it works, can you tell?), or do we just have to wait for the release and any idea when that's going to happen? Thank you "again" for taking the time to do it.
What's this about a Tree Bane? |

Ah, but do have any proof that you have killed a tree?

The actual patch has been completed now. All interface related bugs and issues have been resolved, and everything seems to be working correctly in any resolution. I'm playtesting the game now to check if there are any content related issues. You can expect the release in a week or so.
Quin_Strabo:
The program asks you for the desired width and height, and then it patches the game accordingly. It uses formulas, so everything will be perfectly centered in any resolution. |
