Three days ago I had to change screen because old was getting very close to be KO.

On previous one I used resolution 1152*756 - and had set this resolution in simuconf.tab for fullscreen mode I use. But on new one is set resolution 1360*768.

I forgot to change settings in simuconf.tab - and game crashed immidiately after start.

I don't think this is classical bug - but it is (I hope) useful report.

Most likely an error in windows, as illegal resolutions should just not displayed. (If this was GDI version, not SDL.)

However 16 bit support slowly fades out and a lot of driver are buggy there.

Thanks.

...oops, I forgot info about PC:
OS: WinXP
Gr. card: HD Radeon 9550
Screen: Phillips 192E2 (previous screen was Phillips Brilliance 107P)

I use SDL version of Simutrans.
Originally I used GDI version but for some reasons I left it - and when those reasons passed, I had not reason for return.

Then this is most likely a bug in SDL, since simutrans just poass the parameters to SDL.

May it be ...

I originally used fullscreen with uncommented resolution parameters set on screen - but after last big update (from 4360 to 4369 - with total rewriting of files) I let resolution parameters commented and only enabled fullscreen - and it runs right.
