Widescreen Gaming Forum

Game spreads perfect hor+. All are proper: FOV, aim (& sniper scope), vehicles, text, HUD (HUD element-positions span full width), menu (text on center with background full hor+), cutscenes (rendered are full hor+; FMVs rare & pillarboxed), popups, loading screens. Also bit brighter (better), as side-dark-gradient-overlay is pushed further out & diminished.

(motorbike. It's raining)

(boat - MTA Powerrun 77. Super light & fast, complete with mounted gun)

== Helicopter Hijack ==

(grappling-hook flight to heli)

(shoot gunner...)

(...& throw him out)

1. Setup Game:
A. In-game under Resolution Settings, Full Screen Off. Exit to Windows.
B. Shortcut/launcher argument: /widthW=#### /heightW=#### (fullscreen values).
C. Start Borderless Gaming (BG), then start game.
D. Correct BG settings *. Quit game & BG (or can leave BG on).
2. Play Game: Start BG, start game (BG auto-triggers full-spread & remembers).


(parachute. This is one of two common parachute distances; when quite active, often camera gets closer)

(stationary view -- godmode vanity shot)

== Gun Examples ==

(minigun)

(2H machine gun)

(running hipshot, revolver)

(aim-view, 1H submachine gun. But hipshots often work well in this game, very very forgiving & works better when surrounded by murderous chaos)

NOTES:
1. Motion-Blur-On on default-game is junk, causing grey-washed & lower-contrast; no benefit.
2. Recommend mod justcause2mods.com/mods/jc2-remastered/ (some improved textures, more wildlife etc).
3. ShiftWindow/WinShift also works, but not-quite full spread.
4. * BG Usage:
A. Right-click game-name in left-pane & Add To Favorites.
B. Now select game in right-pane, & then right-click it; in popup, select "No Size Change."
C. Then select game again (in right-pane), & then right-click it; in popup, select "Set Window Size."
D. Enter values (prompted): X-coordinate= -1x left-screen-width; Y-coordinate=0; window-width & height your fullscreen.


(big mounted gun)

(mounted gun on boat stern, rear)

(sniper scope)

(rendered cutscene)

(loading screen. Notice full spread background & also on forefront effect. Better than average)
