Very cool, thanks, this worked! It's fast and really looks beautiful, too, but my characters are a bit tiny. Might change to half the resolution just to see what works better.

I've only ever played the demos of some older Spiderweb titles (and recently Avadon in a Steam sale, but I didn't like that too much), but I've finally gotten around to buying one with Escape to the Pit, not least because of the promise of animated sprites, the lack of which turned me off older spiderweb titles. I do not regret my decision. However, one thing hampers my enjoyment, although it is rather cosmetic. I'm playing the game at a screen that natively runs at 2560x1600 pixels. So far, I fail to find a way to really play the game full screen. Choosing my native resolution, the game plays in a UI frame that I guess measures 1600x1200 pixels. Changing to that solution does not help much, either, as I still end up with screen ratio related black borders to both sides of the screen and significantly blurred graphics due the the scaling up of resolutions by an unsuitable modifier. Call me superficial, but I'd really love to solve this issue. Sorry if anyone has posted on this before, but "search" turned up nothing.
