Don't suppose you would care to share what that method is?
I've got a 3440x1440 monitor and I've got it working at around 3180 horizontal, beyond that it rips. Weird how some people seem to be able to go higher than that both absolutely and as a portion of the max resolution.

I am afraid I am no expert in this but I can tell you that I did get it working successfully in the end- though for certain I almost gave up. Though I still cannot get it to feel my whole screen. In my opinion this game seems to like a more box shape screen to work with. So potentially if you increase the vertical you may be able to increase the horizontal. That s how I it's meant to achieve it in the end.
I also stop using the standard setting suggested by the PC and modified by small degrees.So for instance tried 3440 then 3450 etc. Using this kind of method I did manage to get it to expand a bit. The other guys can tell you about the command switches. but to be honest most of them made a difference on my computer.

The wording after "to be honest" sounds like you meant to say "most of them made
no difference..." ?

Actually it is only the changing of the res numbers that fixed it but as it worked I did not change it from the following .
Here is what it is now.
"C:\Matrix Games\War in the Pacific Admiral's Edition ORIGINAL\Beta2\War in the Pacific Admiral Edition.exe" -w -pxf3000 -pyf1340 -nofire -SingleCpuOrders -cpu3
Ahhhh one thing which did help was I think the -w for the windowed mode. But I am too afraid to start messing with it but did appreciate all the help given

Almost everyone has found that -deepColor switch helps with making the game run more smoothly - probably activates some video card features that the old game engine is unaware of.
