# Core

## Widescreen support has arrived!
- A huge shout-out to Jesse, Handfish, Veeq7, and Batty for their contributions to this feature we once thought impossible!
- **IMPORTANT SETUP STEPS:**
	- If you use the legacy wmode feature (i.e. you cannot make the game fullscreen by pressing alt+enter), access your Cosmonarchy config via Fraud Launcher 2 and set `prefer-wmode` to `false`. This wmode feature is no longer supported by Cosmonarchy and has been removed from the options menu as a result.
	- You will also want to make sure your `Cosmonarchy\Starcraft` directory has cnc-ddraw. You can find the default settings here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/16DVWwEDdJ_z42lpxS0R1Wd3qIjYM4baT/view?usp=sharing
- **Caveats:**
	- A few of the following issues are known and will be addressed soon!
		- Fonts are too small, and menus are weird! We're actively working on this one!
		- Performance suffers in some cases! You can fix this yourself by going into your `plugins` folder and renaming `aize_debug` to `_aize_debug` in order to stop it from loading, but you won't be able to use the console or speed up the game/replay without it. This is next on our list, and it shouldn't take long!
		- Console commands that alter the display or account for mouse cursor are unwieldy currently. We will address this after performance is improved!
		- F10 menu has a weird habit of glitching when the screen has a lot of cagra (creep) on it. This is an odd one, we'll look into it last.
	- These issues need your help in creating reproduction cases!
		- A rare but very obvious 'vortex' issue was observed in testing. We should make sure this isn't still happening! If it happens, let us know what map, when, and attach a replay if it works!
		- In rare cases, initial fog of war has stripes on it. This resolves itself after moving the camera, but we still want to fix it!
	- If you spot an error not on this list, please let us know on discord or fluxer!
