• Fixed a bug where some games could randomly freeze while playing a movie
• Added experimental downscaling support (can now run games at high resolutions such as 4k even if the monitor doesn't support 4k)

Note: To use the new downscaling feature cnc-ddraw must be set to either Fullscreen, Fullscreen Upscaled or Borderless. Just start the game using a high resolution (the limit is 16k currently) and cnc-ddraw will automatically enable downscaling support. If the game doesn't have a way to force a custom resolution then use the "custom_width" and "custom_height" .ini settings to inject any resolution you want into the game's resolution list and then just select it in-game.

Example:
custom_width=3840
custom_height=2160
