    this issue is still present with the latest patch (12.02.2025) installed, but now it's present only when displaying the travel picture, not when choosing the place to travel to on the map.

You can set the resolution by doing something like “-r1080x720” in the command line arguments :)

Thanks! Googling the resolutions reveals that the two original resolutions are:

  • 800x600
  • 1024x768

So the command line argument should look like this:

  • “-r800x600”
  • “-r1024x768”

I'll try it out and report back if they are good workarounds. The disk version didn't have this problem even with the widescreen patch...

    Very well, it didn't work unfortunately, but I discovered that the traveling bug only applies to the old town. The other sub-neighborhoods are fine. So yeah, that's annoying.
