[AP 3.3] Cannot set 1600x900 in borderless/window mode - Workaround found

[mr.WHO]

Hi, In graphic settning I can set-up my laptop resolution 1600x900 only for fullscreen mode.

In borderless/window mode the max resolution is 1440x900.

Is it possible to have the 1600x900 in borderless/window mode?


I'm aski because I'm testing some mods with which often freeze the game. In fullscreen mode I cannot Alt+tab or crtl+shift+esc making that I have to hard reset my laptop. That's why I need borderless/window mode.

In your X3 Terran Conflict directory there should be a file called "res.dat" containing the available resolutions for the window modes. You can open/edit it with an ordinary text/XML editor, and add own resolutions. (You may have to change the file ending from .dat to .txt to open the file and back to .dat, after editing and saving.)

Open the file "res.dat" in the root folder of the game, and add a line "1600;900;" between "1440;960;" and "1600;1200;". I have a feeling that any Steam updates to the game will overwrite this, though, so you may need to switch those off and/or re-apply the change now and again.

Edit: typo.

I don't know if this might help at all.

Thanks for help.
the edit of res.dat seems to solve all problems.
