Note that the 2nd FAV next to the tank is in a different position in the two pics. Just look at the minimap.

Re: 1.5 Widescreen is a joke

My game gets corrupt after I restart after putting widescreen on. What I dont get is the advantage part, what BULL. The G9 vs ball mouse = HUGE advantage, there are many things that make widescreen a spec of advantage. I hope they fix it up.

Re: 1.5 Widescreen is a joke

It isn't stretching it, you still have to select the proper widscreen resolution after you put the +widescreen in the shortcut.

1) put widescreen in the shortcut
2) start 2142
3) video options, select your widescreen resolution, ex 1440x900
4) start game

Really? Now stop complaining and play with your unverifiable advantage! :yay:

Re: 1.5 Widescreen is a joke

I'm running at 1440x900 at native resolution with no stretching, so I don't know what you're talking about...

in the first one the FAV must of rolled. There is still more FOV

It is wider, just look at the orbital strike station.

The two images are the same... Last one appears to be "zoomed" out a bit, but that's because the car appears to be in motion. Everything else is the same, even if it is "zoomed out", giving you more to see, the image is still stretched.

I agree with alex.
I, myself, am still using a 1280x1024. Haven't upgraded to widescreen yet . :p

If it were stretched, we'd just be seeing a bigger version of the top shot. The widescreen shot shows more terrain on top, bottom, and both sides. That may give a "zoomed out" feel judging off the first shot, but it's a little apples and oranges. Definitely not stretched out, though. The size ratios of everything remain consistent (the FAV doesn't looked stretched, or wider, than the "normal" shot).

Also, the car isn't in motion, unless he managed to get the screenshot while it was moving at the very exact same spot on the road. Look at the graphics for the road next to the tires. Exactly the same patch of blacktop in both shots.

Re: 1.5 Widescreen is a joke

So, are you guys still trying to say that the widescreen support doesn't work or is "lame"? Erhardt is right.

I've been running my game at 1024x768 on my 1440x900 monitor for quite some time. I'm now running it at native resolution and it looks fantastic. It's not stretched.

I've tried the "widescreen" fixer software before and didn't care for it. The 1.5 patch made 2142 finally look good on my screen -- although everyone looks way too thin. lol

Re: 1.5 Widescreen is a joke

Lol, there is NO excuse, its bone idle laziness, I know it when I see it.

Hidden and Dangerous, a classic game made in 1999, has widescreen support.
