Latest(?) Patch has removed non- 4:3 display's aspect ratio support!!

First taste of Diplomacy, unfortunately...

Hey, Devs,

 

Just found out about the beta, so I bought and downloaded it.  Playing Vanilla and Entrenchment, afterwards, reveals the problem has been introduced around all versions of the game.

I'm a Triplehead 2 Go user; with all 3 of my monitors having an aspect ratio of 16:10.  My screens are driven via an ANALOGUE plug.  The triplehead support is still there; I can run in 3072x768, and 2 other resolutions that ARE 3X 4:3 aspect ratios.  The world and hud scale, horizontally, appropriate to those resolutions.

There is no longer a choice, in the resolution menu, for 16:10 monitors; nor 3 of 'em in triplehead.  I edited the USER SETTINGS file to attempt my ideal 3840x720.  The engine ran it fine, but the world and hud were still drawn at a 3x 4:3 aspect ratio; with the top and bottom being offscreen.

There is another thread with a related issue.  Both of these situations, I think, suggest an issue with analogue(vga?) connections between their video outputs and monitors; and what the game does with finding that?

SOaSE has always been a widescreen-freindly game.  Please fix it!!

Thanks, and I hope this helps!!

Pokletu.
