| Awesome. How did you solve the stretching HUD/interface problem? Also, do you have a 2560x1600 exe for me to test? |

Here's Steam version anox.exe and the dll. (link removed)
Tell me if you need any other files:

| So the game just got released on Steam... Any luck? I would like to play this on a widescreen, with proper HUD mods. I hope the game is popular enough for someone to mod widescreen interfaces in, like KOTOR1. |

| The author of MWC wrote back; Thanks for your email. MCW uses some Windows API (application programming interface) to adjust the colors, basically a couple functions to set the gamma ramp lookup table.

| Also, the most annoying game for me right now is Dragon Age. I want to play it and complete it, but I can't seem to get custom colours to stick with this game. Color Clutch doesn't work, neither does MCW. The only workaround is to launch the game in windows and run ShiftWindows on it. But I have to ... |

| I have also contacted Mike, author of Monitor Calibration Wizard. http://www.hex2bit.com/products/index.asp MCW works for a number of games, but it is still a "soft" option, and the game is still able to "hard lock" back to the default uncalibrated colours once the game goes fullscreen. However, it ... |

Is there an easier way to change the game to use 2560x1600?
I found a binary registry call under the registry under current_user/software/infinite interactive/puzzle quest/resolution
Right now the file just says "11 00 00 00", and apparently it's 1920x1200. |

| Sorry for the necropost, but I am wondering if anyone figured out a way to get the game to run at 2560x1600. It natively supports up to 1920x1200 but not 2560x1600. Lazy developers. |

Best "ever" or the "current best"? If the former, I am tempted to say either the UT99 engine or the Q3 engine.
Currently, my vote goes to Source. |

| Thanks for the great explanation. From the looks of it, it looks like the single point of failure lies in with whomever the developers are. Which I suppose can be taken as good news, and it looks like the problem isn't a terribly difficult thing to "fix". If what Ian speculates turns out to be true,... |

| Is there any documentation on how one might implement this into their engine aside from the noted Windowed Fullscreen/noborder? I am unsure of the technical aspects of this.

| You can't calibrate the three monitors individually and load up those individual profiles on each of the monitors? It seems quite an elementary thing for Windows (or another program like Powerstrip) to load up separate colour profiles on different monitors. Perhaps Powerstrip can already do this? |

| If you can, borrow a calibrator and calibrate your monitor's colours. Games and the desktop environment in general look much better. YMMV of course, but the default colorus on my monitor are very washed out, making everything look like crap. Calibrated colours are an absolute need for me. (especiall... |

| I think it would be safer to say that at most 10% of those with colour calibration hardware for their monitors also game on the same system. 10%? I think that's a bit too low, don't you think?
