Doesent appear so...it does have an aspect ratio choice...but that doesent affect the resolution choices...16:9 with 1600x1200? I don't think so. I need 1680x1050 w/ 16:10. Apparently thats not supported. |

SOLUTION! Use the same steps as Doom3 (it IS the same engine, so that makes sense) http://www.widescreengamingforum.com/node/ Works great for me! |

SOLUTION! Hello there, I'm new here - I just signed up due to several hours of frustration with Q4. Unfortunately, the r_mode -1 setting doesn't appear to work with Q4 - it says there is a video error and defaults back to 640x480. If you open up the .cfg file after trying r_mode -1, it shows that it's been defaulted back to r_mode 3. The closest I've come to a decent display is stretching 1280x1024 with 16:9 enabled. It's certainly not ideal, but I'm hoping they put in a fix for this asap.. |

I've had no problem using the Doom 3 config file hack. But I think it's pretty silly that they didn't bother adding the resolutions to the menu. I mean, they added a Widescreen aspect ratio option in the menu, but no widescreen resolutions, wtf? Maybe it just didn't detect my monitor as widescreen or something. Anyway.. Screenshots:

So how are they making these widescreen screenshots in resolutions of 1920 x 1200? |

Because the game supports any resolution you want, through a console command or config file editing. Oh yeah, forgot to mention. Set "r_aspectratio 2" for 16:10 ratio. (in case you missed that on the Doom 3 thread) |

So what did you hack exactly? |

Yes, exactly...doom3 it works fine...quake4 forces the .cfg file back into 640x480 if you change r_mode to '-1', so there is no way to change rez to 1920x1200...could the guy who successfully did this please post EXACTLY what he did to get it working? TIA... |
