Solutions & Issues
Widescreen Solution & Issues:

Native support. 2D elements stretch from 4:3. 3D elements are scaled correctly.

Output is Vert-. When flying open the console (~ or similar) and enter cm_fov 120 (replace with the FOV you want up to 120). FOV must be reapplied every time you fly.

FMV cutscenes run on the desktop in a borderless window (output is letterboxed and has the correct aspect ratio).

Some higher resolutions like 2560x1440 are listed in the launcher but do not work (the game crashes back to launcher).

Ultra/Super-Wide Specific Solution & Issues:

Resolutions are listed in the launcher but do not work (the game crashes back to launcher).

Eyefinity / Surround Specific Solution & Issues:

Resolutions are listed in the launcher but do not work (the game crashes back to launcher).
