Armada 1 about dxwrapper

Sure. When I get a chance I will look into it. I have been super busy lately.

Closing issue. Should be fixed now!

The menus in Star Trek Armada 1 work differently than menus in Windows. You need to hold the mouse button down when you click the menu and keep the mouse button down while you select the item from the menu. If you just single-click the menu it will appear and then disappear.

Great that worked. Seems to crash at 4k resolution, I assume thats just it being an old game never designed for that? It works right up to 4k though.

Yes, the patch is still using DirectX 7, which has a Maximum VGA Resolution of 2048x1536, AFAIK. I am working on converting this to Direct3D9, which will solve this problem. But that is still a ways off.

Thanks @mirh! This should be pretty easy to add to dxwrapper.

Would be also cool if you could shed some light on the mystery I raised UCyborg/LegacyD3DResolutionHack#2

[elishacloud]

I added LegacyD3DResolutionHack to the project. This allows the game to play in 4K resolution.
