Are you aware that this works only in windowed mode, but not in fullscreen?.

It took me a while to get the game to stop running in 600x800 fullscreen to begin with, and now it is in Windowed mode (I had to run TTconfig.exe in compatibility mode and select windowed mode). In any case, that is not the problem.

With pleasure! I haven't been editing it directly (using ttdpc.exe), maybe I missed something along the line...

// `resolutionheight' (-Zh) active et spécifie la hauteur du patch de résolution.
resolutionheight 900

// `resolutionwidth' (-Zw) active et spécifie la largeur du patch de résolution.
resolutionwidth 1600

// `stretchwindow' (-XW) étire la fenêtre de TTD à la largeur spécifiée en pixels (uniquement pour la version windows en mode fenêtré).  Valeur de 40 à 20480.  Défaut 1280.
stretchwindow off

Voyons! C'est tout en français! Vous êtes chanceux que je suis Canadiens. Est ce que vous parlez le québécois?

Your suggestion doesn't work, either in fullscreen (I get the same 600x500 resolution deformed to 1600x900) or windowed (I get the uselessly tiny window).

Moi, je suis de Montréal, mais ça fait un bon 40 ans que je suis un gas des Maritimes ... pas tout a fait un Acadien. Apparament il faut qu'on parle le Chiac avant qu'ils nous donnes les pièces d'identité.

OK ... here is my set up:
I have a Dell PC running XP Pro SP3. My display is set to 1024x768. My ttpatchw.cfg has resolutionheight=600 and resolutionwidth=800. Setting TTConfig.EXE to Mode 1 gives me a nice 800x600 window while Mode 3 overrides ttdpatch and gives me a nice full screen.
I also have a HP laptop that runs Windows 7. When I saw your problem, I updated my TTDX instalation with the ttdpatchw.cfg from my XP box. The laptop's display is set to 1280x800. ttdpatchw is still 800x600. TTConfig.EXE Mode 1 gives me a uselessly small 800x600 (?) game window but Mode 3 gives me a nice full screen display.

So, here is my suggestion (if you haven't already tried it), set your ttdpatchw to resolutionheight=600 and resolutionwidth=800 and your TTConfig.EXE to Mode 3 or 4. Let us know what happens.

Okay, I think I got this sh*t figured out: ttdpc.exe did not actually edit the frickin' configuration file. It pretends it does, but all it actually edits is the switches.xml file.

I think I'll just copy my old file now <<

You're welcome.
Now stay out of the tunnels and avoid Boulevard Décarie in a rain storm.

Je croix que c'est aussi bien applicable aux piétons, non?
