Widescreen Gaming Forum

Hi Shiney,

Yes i know, this problem wasn´t solved for me either, i also use Grub, and it is a real pain in the ass to have it streched like, specially when needing to go into shell before gnome.

I really can´t remember how i did it back in the day, the only difference from now is i was ...

Sorted, for those with the same problem:

Obviously wasn´t using the right search terms ; )

Hi Everyone,

I did a search before posting but didn´t find much (forgive me if i missed something).

Aniway, i´m going through a nostalgic moment and playing some of my old games (or trying to) obviously i know that they won´t show on all screens, but before (i reformated recently) games ...

just added a couple of new toys to the system :D

: )

I wanted to take some picks with no light in order to appreciate the ambx and the tower lights but the camera is really bad with no light, so aniway here are some picks and a video!















And the video...

[quote]I couldn't resist the desk. I admit it was spendy. I saw that desk at a security checkpoint in an airport and just had to have it. It was the perfect desk for the way I wanted to the setup to look.

I drew some unwanted attention at the airport when I ran to the desk and used my hands ...

[quote]is there any news/hopes of the developers adding native widescreen/triplescreen res support?

Widescreen support is native... not sure what you mean there. Th is added via ini tweak, which I agree they should patch so that isn't needed.

Sorry, i meant triplehead

does that mean those of us with 59-60hz screens can run 5040x1050?????????? if so i´d be a happy bunny!

Oh i used to love this game, don´t remember it being so ugly though, used to proud myself that it had so much more stuff than it´s console port. Will def try it again

is there any news/hopes of the developers adding native widescreen/triplescreen res support?

[quote]Wait, 1000+ dollars for the desk! o.O

I guess it's not a big deal when he's got like 4(or more?) computers there, plus a ton of monitors. Or his power bill every month :lol:

True, but regardless of appereances it doesn´t have to be as expensive as it looks, so i still o.O at the ...

Windows = YES
Games = NO (unless you go crazy with stuff like softth.

My Rec: go for the 3 screens, but instead of an extra gpu, buy matrox triplehead2go, that way you will have 3 screen display for windows and games.

Wait, 1000+ dollars for the desk! o.O

so what do you use to switch between pcs, a kvm with only keyboard and mouse connected?

PS: pretty f´ing awesome!

Very true, but i guess it makes sense no? i really like the dark feel the mod gives it, and of course, it feels new and not dated as it used to with the graphics pack : )

Ok i figured i need to set up matrox to use 1 screen in order to go in game and set a triple-screen-res and then come back out set matrox to use all 3 screens and bingo game launches, but the menu seems all zoomed-in :S

Minimize, in the sense of what TH2G normally does when it doesn´t know what to do with the resolution, i click on the icon goes back to the game and minimizes again.

i will post a full desk image once my cam is fixed (sent it back under warrantee as it wouldn´t turn on) but just to get things going, i will post a pick of the rig that is powering it, it´s 3 months old (the picture) just as i had finished customizing it, which incidently also took 3 months to ...

How do you even start the game? It goes straight to desktop for me?

Same issue here with the crosshair, i got used to it and yes the game is harder, specially at the end parts even on easy! and yes it is darker, but as you i kind of like it more this way. I did however have some AI issues from nova propekt on, loading from last point seemed to fix it more or less ...
