this is a 2006 pc game released in most territories by atari. so it's not really that old. it seems it's one of those pain-in-the-ass games with no way to manually change/override the graphical settings, specifically it's resolution. this game only supports 640x480, 800x600 and 1024x768.
as far as i can tell (and i surely looked at all the usual patches sites) this game never got any patches.
there are two files that change when you modify the game's resolution from within the game settings. when looking at them (and they're basic text files so nothing encrypted or cryptic here) there's nothing obvious or clear cut relating to resolution. the files are: vars_pc.cfg and windows_pc.cfg.
here are their contents. (fyi the game is runing at 1024x768 with these settings.)

windows_pc.cfg
Code:
Console,76,57,870,652,0,0
i also scanned the windows registry and found nothing i could change in relation to the game's resolution.
the thing is, since we can switch between 3 different resolutions, and something changes, there MUST be something that points to that, that we should be able to then change to higher resolutions.
ideas?
