Hi all,

I played JA2 - classic many years ago on a wins 7 PC i believe (or older like Vista), everything worked fine and there was no issue with resolution and bug. Now I am facing 2 problems.

I have purchased JA2 combo (classic and wildfire) during steam sales recently. Then I started playing Wildfire recently as I really enjoyed JA2.

1. Resolution

I have this wide screen monitor, whereas the game resolution & screen size is like around 840 x 600, so it is really small compare to my screen. While I dont expect the game to run in wide screen mode being a squarish gameplay, I wish it could at least fill up the top and bottom screen to the max. Right now, the game screen has about 10% space empty on top, and 10% space empty on the bottom. And of course about 50% empty on both left and right sides as I am using a wide screen monitor which I dont mind not occupying. I hope you guys understand what I meant.

2. Character bug

This bug really annoys me that my main IMP character somewhat disobey my command. I built the character using the IMP guides available and there was no issue up till the time I did hand to hand combat with 3 dudes in San Mona in order to see Kingpin. Since then during off combat mode, the character will stop walking/running half way when I ask him to go to point B for example, I need to constantly instructing it to move to point B, then only it will move. For instance from point A to point B there are about 10 tiles, I need to at least ask her twice only she able to move from point A to point B.

In addition to that, the character always does it own things, like it will sit, lie down, stand, and looking at various direction automatically without my instructions. This is rather annoying as I have it facing 1 direction in anticipation of enemies coming from that direction to get the chance of "interrupt", but it was already looking at other direction and failed to get the interrupt scene.

Only thankfully that the character works perfectly normal during turn based combat. Otherwise it is annoying.

I wish someone could guide me through these issues I am currently facing.

For widescreen always check pcgamingwiki first, they suggest using a mod to fix this:

As for your other issue I have never played it so can't help.
Thanks for your reply. I have seen this ja2-stracciatella too during my quest to fix the problem. However I am playing Wildfire, not sure if this mod will help with that version.

Anyhow I will give it a try. Appreciate it.
Tried, it does not work with Wildfire version.
