Question Regarding "X: Beyond The Frontier" (X-BTF) in 1080p

[Sticky Hamster]

Hi, I just purchased the series and I'm hoping to be able to play through all of the games in order.

I believe that "X: Beyond The Frontier" (X-BTF) is the first game...if I'm wrong on that please correct me.

My question: Is there a way to run the game in 1920x1080p mode without it cutting off part of the top and bottom of the screen?

Although I can run the game in other modes it doesn't look as nice, plus it seems that my monitor looks odd (almost like darker colors are lighter/washed out) when I don't run it in 1080p.

Thank you for any help you can provide!!

Yesterday I've installed it on my other laptop and I honestly don't remember already. But I think it was some sort of crop with the sides cut down

The game came out before widescreen monitors were available. We made some tweaks to allow widescreen resolutions to be selected, but support for widescreen modes is limited to what you see currently.

I run it at 1280 x 1024. That does not give you any cropping although you do get a frame at the top of the screen. If you can learn to ignore that it is probably the best resolution to run the game at.
