I've been following the threads and am a bit confused. The GoG version is a stock 1.2 version but 1.28 (community patch) allows for higher resolutions, correct?

My issue is that when I go search for the 1.28 download, I find a link to a neocities page. How do I download the patches from the site? It seems like a long page with combined readme's and the link at the top takes to a bunch of subfolders for various versions. Do I just batch download the 1.28 folder and drag and drop it into the EAW install folder?

No!
There is an entire thread here named " Patch for owners of the GoG release of EAW".
Use the link and the information in the first post smile

Thanks. I didn't realize that post was for 1.28 I thought it was one that included tons of mods. I just want to play 1.28, a slightly higher resolution, and single player campaigns--basically relive my childhood!

128 doesn't allow higher flight screen resolutions, However it may have the 1024x768 flight screen adjustment, which makes it wider viewing, the pilot seat is further back than in the official EAWv1.2.
The EAWv1.28-GoG eaw.exe has improvements for proper directdraw support. Which is why Direct3D is superior on those GoG released exe's.

Unfortunately you have the reduced hit bubble and collision is off. However other improvements like better 16 bit sound is in place.
You just have to read more.

Misinformation smile

I have both the Codegroup's 1.28 and the GoG version running with my "eaw.ini" set at 1920 x 1080.
I just did a screenie test with the Codegroup's 1.28.
The max screenie size had not been adjusted in 1.28 so there are coloured vertical lines on the right hand side. However the size of the picture in 1920 x 1080

no "Mis" nothing. The code group 128 works fine at that res, and so does the gog super 128. I just ran them.

Are you running in a windows Frame, if any portion of it renders off screen it may do that.

While I am posting I will add this screenie:

The dxwnd FPS overlay shows 80, but the FPS shown by the exe is only 28.
I do not trust the dxwnd FPS value at all frown

it doesn't , v1.2 can run that res too

EDIT:
About your screen capture, the FPS counters, 24-26 is what I get now with EAW with DXWND on Win10. (reading the EAW counter)
I'm better off running without a wrapper in this case. there ill get 38fps or more in D3D.

The vertical lines in the screenie occur because the maximum size read for a screenie is set in the exe.
In later versions I changed the maximum size that is read, and fixed the problem wink

So what did you mean when you wrote

The MicroProse EAWv1.2 and The CodeGroup EAWv1.28 / CodeGroup EAWv1.28-GoG super exe support the same resolutions.

Try it, I used the same res in all three of those eaw.exe/game folders. They all displayed your res. of 1920x1080.

You eat your eggs this morning yet, or lunch? wink

There is no higher res in 128 than there is in 12.


EDIT:
I'm not trying to elude your question, I'm trying to answer it clearly for you.

When 1.28 was released the available screen resolutions on monitors was very low by today's standards, and what you wrote suggested that 1.28 could not be run in resolutions such as 1920 x1080, which of course in not true.
What you meant was that it could not be run in resolutions higher than 1.2 can.

Try to be a bit more precise to avoid such misunderstandings wink

I was precise, 128 doesn't allow higher resolutions. Period.
