dxwrapper allows you to stretch the resolution from 1280x720 to 1600x900, however, it looks bad when you stretch it because those resolutions are not evenly divisible. you can play this game with the Unofficial Arcanum Patch using dxwrapper. Sorry if this issue is a bit unorganized but my brain is a bit fried after all the hours of tinkering I've been doing on this game. I would appreciate any guidance you could give me, and it would also be helpful to know whether I should use HighRes's ddraw.dll, GOG's ddraw.dll, or just leave it deleted because dxwrapper.dll is supposedly handling that functionality. There are more features from DxWnd I would really like to utilize, such as the ability for the cursor to leave the window without having to alt+tab out. I have also set DDrawCompat to 1 in dxwrapper.ini, which seems to be necessary in every case. I tried using the one that came with the game as well (via GOG, which supposedly has issues), but that would crash instantly when used with HighRes + DxWnd. I could get it to behave differently depending on whether or not I used the ddraw.dll from HighRes. The game would launch but it would render in the bottom right corner only. Unfortunately no matter what I tried, I could not get this to work. My thinking was I would configure HighRes to install at 1280x720 resolution (which is the default configuration for HighRes) and then have DxWnd stretch it to 1600x900.

While I do like this, I would like to have some stretching. One of the features is the HighRes mod that allows the game to be played in a higher resolution without having to stretch so many things. I'm playing Arcanum with the Unofficial Arcanum Patch available here:
