Dominions II: Technical/Hardware Issues

[Lingchih]

Just upgraded to 2.16 a few days ago, and have noticed a strange occurence. Twice now, while playing my turn in a multiplayer game on Mosehansen's server, my Mac suddenly reboots. Now, I have an older Mac, so I am prepared to say the power supply might be going, but it is strange that the only times I have had this happen are while playing Dom2. Any ideas? Could Dom be doing this?

Is there any chance of getting support for some widescreen resolutions into Dom2? Say, 1920x1200?
Is there some way to hack support into what we've got?

It is easy to set your own favorite resolution by using some commandline switches.

--res 1920 1200

should do what you want.

[Ygorl]

It's not quite obvious on Mac OS X... What you need to do is:
cd dominions2.app/Contents/Resources/
../MacOS/dominions2 --res 1920 1200
Otherwise the game doesn't know where to find the GUI graphics. This works, though.
Thanks!
