Solutions & Issues
Widescreen Solution & Issues:

While widescreen is native, the screen change in gameplay and rendered cut-scenes are vert-. To make the game use hor+ in widescreen resolutions, follow these steps:

  1. Download the fix available from the PC Gaming Wiki Community Files (search there).
  2. Copy "Engine.dll" from one of the folders of a type of widescreen fix of your choice and paste them into the game directory located in "Program Files (x86)\Activision\Shark Tale\System".
  3. Go to your documents folder, go to "Shark Tale" and open up "game.ini" in any text editor and find "[WinDrv.WindowsClient]"
  4. From there, there are 6 entires for 3 different resolution viewports. For the menu viewport resolution, you don't need to alter the values there.

    The entries represent the following things for windowed and full-screen modes:
    WindowedViewportX=
    WindowedViewportY=
    FullscreenViewportX=
    FullscreenViewportY=
    Change the resolutions for these entries and then save it and launch the game to run at your desired resolution.

Notes: The text will stretch horizontally if you use a wider resolution than 4:3. Some elements maybe incorrectly positioned such as Katie Current misplaced from the TV screen.

Optional FOV:

To get a higher FOV you need to HEX edit the Engine.dll in files available on PC Gaming Wiki
Go to Offset D89A and change AB AA AA 3F to a lower Number like 00 00 80 3F or 00 00 40 3F - see Additional Screenshots.
