Warhammer 40k: Dawn of War Message Board  

1) Go into your W40k:GotY installation folder, locate the file "Local.ini" and edit the "screenheight" and "screenwidth" parameters to the desired resolution. For example, if you want a 1920x1080 resolution, you should have the following lines:

screenheight=1080
screenwidth=1920

2) You'll need to modify your W40k.exe and UserInterface.dll files in order to have a correct aspect ratio.

First, open W40k.exe and search for the following hex value: "ABAAAA3F". Replace it with 398EE33F if you have a 16/9 monitor or CCCCCD3F if you have a 16/10 monitor. Save your file.

Now open Platform.dll and search for the following hex value: "ABAAAA3F". Replace it with 398EE33F if you have a 16/9 monitor or CCCCCD3F if you have a 16/10 monitor. Save your file.

Now open spDx9.dll and search for the following hex value: "ABAAAA3F". Replace it with 398EE33F if you have a 16/9 monitor or CCCCCD3F if you have a 16/10 monitor. Save your file.

Now open UserInterface.dll file and search for the same hex value "ABAAAA3F". You should find 2 occurrences of this value. Replace both occurrences with 398EE33F if you have a 16/9 monitor or CCCCCD3F if you have a 16/10 monitor. Save your file and close your hex editor.

Now the game should run in the desired resolution without black bars.

You might get a little black showing around the minimap area.
