Can resolution hinder the ability to download missions?

(edit)
Does running DW at a high resolution prevent me from downloading custom missions that may have been built at a different resolution during multi-player set up?

I had no problems last week, but I recently set my resolution to 1024 or higher(I forget) and now I cant download missions at the set up screen. i guess ican go find out the hard way, but it'll be a while before another game will likly start, i figured I could get an answer here faster Smile

No the screen resolution shouldn't matter... but I have no idea why you can't upload missions.

actually i miss worded my question, would it prevent the download of custom missions?

Nope, game settings don't effect the file transfers at all... this kind of information is not encoded in the missions files. Smile

More precisely, there is direct no logical link between high resolutions and mission transfers failing.

There is however, a chance that there is a bug in the interface code that makes higher resolutions fail at getting the transfer even started.

IOW: Needs testing.

Slightly OT but connected:

I notice that if I run at 800x600 Surprised

my mouse works fine in the windowed game. But at 1024x768 the mouse
is fine in Nav but fails to make course/depth/speed changes in the normal click to change method.

Any ideas please ?
