Solutions & Issues
Widescreen Solution & Issues:

The game detects widescreen resolutions but stretches everything from 4:3 unless the aspect settings are adjusted.

Edit UserInfo.cfg in the user profile folder in the installation folder. Update the values as below (thanks to Faguss's OFP Aspect Ratio Configuration).

4:316:915:916:105:412:3
fovTop0.750.750.80.750.80.75
fovLeft11.3333331.3333331.213
uiTopLeftX00.1250.1250.08333300.333333
uiTopLeftY000.03333300.0333330
uiBottomRightX10.8750.8750.91666710.666667
uiBottomRightY110.96666710.9666671

Everything has the correct aspect ratio when using these modified values. To use a resolution with a different aspect ratio simply repeat with the appropriate values.

If you change the values and things look skewed in-game you have made a mistake in copying the values into the file. Each entry must end with a semicolon but does not have to have all the zeroes it had prior to changing it.

Eyefinity / Surround Specific Solution & Issues:

change UserInfo.cfg for correct FOV when using triplescreen resolutions (in game folder)

fovTop=1.000000;
fovLeft=3.898664;

It was originally:

fovTop=0.750000
fovLeft=1.000000
