Dark Mod Is Not Resolution Friendly!

First off I'd like to say that "Dark Mod" is great game and I've had no problems running it in Windows 8.1 64 bit except for one small graphics problem. "Dark Mod" Is Not Resolution Friendly! Case in point..

 

I'm still able to play games on my computer like "Rendezvous With Rama", "System Shock 2", "Fallout 3", all of the Thief games, and a heck of a lot of other games at a resolution of 4600 x 2600 on a 55" HDTV that is only capable of 1080p. I'm able to reach such a high resolution by downsampling and of course having a really good graphics card.

 

The problem is this.. All of he games cater to or recognize that high a resolution except for "Dark Mod". In order to be able to play "Dark Mod" I have to re-adjust the screen resolution back down to at least 1080p and reset the text size to a much lower scale. or setting. If I don't reset everything what happens when I run the game is that only the 1/4 top left corner of the main menu and game is visible.

 

With the exception of one or two of my really old games, all of my game can be set to a 16:9 aspect ratio @ 4600 x 2600p but not "Dark Mod" unless I first change my settings.

 

So my question is this.. can an update patch be made for this problem or am I doing something wrong with setting up "Dark Mod"?

      i am so euphoric to see new FMs keep coming out and I am keen to try it out in my leisure time, then suddenly my PC is spouting a couple of S.M.A.R.T errors...
      tbf i cannot afford myself to miss my network emulator image file&progress, important ebooks, hyper-v checkpoint & hyper-v export and the precious thief & TDM gamesaves. Don't fall yourself into & lay your hands on crappy SSD

      Does anyone actually use the Normalise button in the Surface inspector? Even after looking at the code I'm not quite sure what it's for.

      Turns out my 15th anniversary mission idea has already been done once or twice before! I've been beaten to the punch once again, but I suppose that's to be expected when there's over 170 FMs out there, eh? I'm not complaining though, I love learning new tricks and taking inspiration from past FMs. Best of luck on your own fan missions!

      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported. Damn!
      Makes me think that TDM engine for Doom 3 itself would actually be perfect.

      Maybe a bit of advice ? In the FM series I'm preparing, the two main characters have the given names Toby and Agnes (it's the protagonist and deuteragonist, respectively), I've been toying with the idea of giving them family names as well, since many of the FM series have named protagonists who have surnames. Toby's from a family who were usually farriers, though he eventually wound up working as a cobbler (this serves as a daylight "front" for his night time thieving). Would it make sense if the man's popularly accepted family name was Farrier ? It's an existing, though less common English surname, and it directly refers to the profession practiced by his relatives. Your suggestions ?
