[quote]Looks identical to me... I'm in a huff now.

I admit that DX10 and DX9 version look basically identical.

The only noticeable difference that I saw was in the shadows. DX10 shadows are smoother and less jaggy.

Other things that I thought would be improved, like the ...

I want to say thanks for the comments, but a dollar will do more justice.

I will fix the DX10 problem but its difficult without a DX10 card... not impossible.

just donate, hope others will do the same :)
let me also ...

you where right, no differences.
so what ? is this another marketing bullsh*t to make vista users happy ? :P

here is the DX9 (FOV hacked) 19200*1200 start : http://x505.free.fr/img/Bioshock.jpg

Don't thank me yet. I have yet to take a screenshot that shows ANY difference. Even with the water on the lens effect.

post here a 1920 screenshot of the game just after the crash with no move yet. i'll do the same and we'll compare it

Your wish is my command. I'll put a comparison shot if once I find a place where DX9 and DX10 shows the biggest difference.

thanks a lot !

BTW, i just played again to the demo with the FOV hack, in 1920x1200 this game is really amazing !

I just wanted to add my thanks to Paddy the Whack and Racer_S for their great job and support.

I'm running it on Vista 32 and I LOVE the FOV mode in DX9 mode and the Racer_S's fix. Problem is that it is VERY unstable. Not faulting anyone for the crashes, but I will be anxiously awaiting a ...

OMG ! :shock:

this is THE idea ! thx dude 8)

After a bit of tinkering, I got this to work. Try this -

Edit GAME.INI and make the following configuration changes -
ModeWidth=1280
ModeHeight=768
Windowed mode=1

Launch the application and hit Alt-Enter once you're actually in-game. Full-screen 1280 * 768 with no stretch ...

Fortunately, I have contacts with the developers (one of the perks of working in games industry ;) and I'll try to ask them if it is possible to do something about this problem.

that's cool !

the new patch does not give the widescreen support :(

still in beta... :oops:

I got it to work with your instructions. I just can't run it in 1200x768 (which is what I was trying to do). I can only run it at 1680x1050.

i guess it's 1280x768, but can you get this res under windows ?

Doesn't this use the same engine as Aliens versus Predator 2?

yes it's the Jupiter engine from monolith

:shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:

fantastic !!!!

is it playable and @ witch res ?

Hi nitro ...
Sure .... but I'm really busy right now ... give me a day or two ... :)

Of course, take your time ;)

Thx

i think it's because of standard format, like 1024x768, for software, drivers etc... 720 and 800 didn't exist yet

Paddy, can you post a pic of your Parhelia setup when playing HL2 ?

Thx 8)

1280x768 is 16:9 ratio ;)

What makes an acceptable widescreen solution ?

A game that give you the true FOV of the human sight, like it should be in a 16/9 ratio. that's my opinion.

yesssssss ! 8)

Thanks dude !
