Netbook Support for Stardock Games?

from Stardock Forums

Speficially, the following:  Support for 1024 x 600 resolution.

 

I've got several friends with netbooks, and am thinking of getting one.  We're in love with the idea of being able to have an impromptu SOASE game if we're all hanging out together and have our netbooks out.

Problem is, Sins acts wacky when you try to get it to display in the native resolution of netbook screens.  It cuts off the bottom of the screen, so you can't click some of the menu buttons.   "Ok" and "Cancel" are often the first victims of this, since they tend to be at the bottom of windows.

Could you guys add support for 1024x600 to the next patch?  That would be swell!

What better place to sin?

I don't (yet) have a netbook, but it seems like some models (like the HP Mini with SD screen) display at 1024x576 resolution, so any effort to support netbook resolutions should look to support 1024x576 as well as 1024x600.

Ten years ago I had a Sony Picturebook which sported a 1024x600 screen.  We've come so far... ;)

There is someone who altered a config file for sins as a quick fix, I'll  find a link again and repost it for you guys too.  I have to do it over again, I re-installed windows 7.
