I started MM2 with an edited "gfxconf.dat". I added my other highest displays. I set it to the highest one (8192x6144). When I started playing, the game crashed with a message (Heap Overrun). I also tried 2048x1536 the game worked fine in full 60 fps. What is the maximum screen resolution for this game? Is it 2048x1536?

(8192x6144).

The engine that MM2 uses is very old and limited so don't expect to play the game at that HUGE a resolution.

That time when the game was released, the highest display is only at 1600x1200. So Anyways, Its very weird if the game works that screen resolution. My question is a bit stupid I'm sorry for this.

You know, this is kinda like saying that when you try to wrap a five inch string around a desk, it breaks. The string (MM2) was not created to wrap around the desk (ultra high-res display reading about which my eyes are open pretty wide).

Are you attempting to use mods with this? This may be the issue. I run MM2 @ 1920x1080 myself.

It's well known that the game has the own memory using limits, giving the Heap Overrun error, and the high screen resolutions are some of the responsible. It's however an interesting try done.

The Full HD resolution (1920x1080 pixels) is alerady an enogh very high one for a such old game, and fortunately it's possible use it.
