It has very limited higher resolutions, up to 640x400 (or perhaps 640x480) I recall. Nothing higher at all. And it is flaky, particularly on restoration of saves. I don't think it solves the archvile bug. There are numerous times when it does not restore a game, and the executable promptly barfs. The times when it does this is if you save halfway through some enemy attack. So if some mancubus has fired his first set of fireballs, you save, the restore is certainly duff. It is unbelievably irritating. I would not run it this days. There are numerous ports that are far more stable. I believe that the team that worked on Doom95 at Microsoft were the same team that brought DirectX 1.0. Stephen Howe
