Widescreen Gaming Forum

Please move this thread if I posted in the wrong section. I'm unsure if it should be under here or in the Req/discuss WS Solutions.

There's a new patch in the work (1.50) and a small Q&A page is up here. In it, I shall quote an excerpt that caught my attention that may be worth looking into. But I'll believe it when I actually see it.

... as well as allowing you to access 16:9 and 16:10 resolutions for those widescreen monitors.

So who wants to volunteer to be the guinea pig? I've long left the 2142 days and I've been concentrating most of my gaming on Guild Wars as of late.

Having it offer those resolutions and having the game actually USE them are two different things. DICE has never supported wide screen before and I see no reason to believe them.

I have it and will take some screens once the patch is released, but I definitely bet it's still vert-

Just to note out, I took the liberty of forming a reply to express my concerns and doubts while linking to the WSGF site. Doubt we'll get new folks but... well... who knows!

Welp, looks like they released the beta...

They have a "Getting started" page for 1.50 beta. Noted on that thread is a link detailing on how to enable widescreen in the beta.

I probably won't be able to test it out as I have other tasks that takes priority. Anyways, have fun tinkering with this one and please report back what you find. :)

YOUR! thats a good one!

1.50 Beta is out.

Widescreen is OK at 16:9 . FOV are correct.

Finally BF2142 has got HOR+ native.

Widescreen resolution are activated when you put in shortcut +widescreen 1 deleting +fullscreen 1.

I tested 16:9 resolutions: 1920x1080 and 1360x768

Not tested 16:10 resolutions but I think it will be OK too.

Regards.

comparison screenshots please?

I'll post some once i download it (filefront wait time 33 minutes and counting :( )

EDIT: Comparisons

Sorry for the slight differences, graphics updated between loadings and it's quite difficult to get the exact same position.

4:3 (1280x960)


16:10 (1440x900)
