Game only stretches: 4:3

"Wide Screen" setting just puts letterbox.

I saw there was a patch recently released for NFS-PU that fixes the stretch issues. So perhaps someone here is also interested in this patch for PU  I can not find the original forum post, seems to be hidden now from unregistered forum users, but I did find a Google cache of the original thread. Google's Cache link to the thread - http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/s ... clnk&gl=us Here is the lead post from that thread by author Felix Krull of the Aspect Ratio Patch for PU - (I don't think I'm telling anyone anything new here, but finding a reasonably active NFSPU community is bloody hard these days.) Having dug out NFSPU recently again, I was somewhat bothered by its not playing nice with widescreen displays. While you can set it to widescreen resolutions (and with the Voodoo renderer + nGlide, you can even get the menu at a nice resolution), but everything's horizontally stretched and icky. So I looked into solving that and a few false starts and various related and unrelated distractions later, I now have something reasonably presentable. Download https://bitbucket.org/fk/porsche-graphi ... /downloads The source can be found at https://bitbucket.org/fk/porsche-graphics-hacks. Installation extract the contents of this archive into the "Drivers" subdirectory of your NFSPU installation directory install the Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 x86 Redistributable using the included "vcredist_x86.exe" installer enable the widescreen patch by double-clicking the "Enable Widescreen Renderer.reg" file (and confirming all prompts) (optionally) if you prefer to use the Glide renderer, remove the initial ";" from the ";driver=voodoo2" line in "porsche-widescreen.ini" On a certain set of crashes I think I've fixed the notorious Normandie/lens flare crashes. However, I'm not totally confident that I've fixed it totally or that I caught every related crash and as such, I'd appreciate to get feedback on stability. So, it'd be great if everyone could reset the usual work-arounds, i.e. turn on lens flare and the rear view mirror and change the sky files for all tracks back to their defaults. And if you do get a crash, see further below for how you can help me debug it. Other notes Both the Direct3D 7 renderer and the Glide renderer are supported (I only tested the Glide renderer with nGlide); the D3D renderer is the default because it needs no external dependencies but I highly recommend the Glide renderer with nGlide for anyone. Zooming into the car interiors in the menu shows some visual glitches. Don't set the in-game resolution to 640x480, that'll also cause slight visual issues. Again, somewhat obscure technical reasons, just use a resolution that wasn't around 20 years ago. This patch corrects the horizontal stretching by basically counter-stretching the image vertically, i.e. the image will be cut off at the top and bottom (HUD and interface elements are fine and on-screen). As a result, compared to the game running at a 4:3 aspect ratio, a widescreen aspect ratio will give you the same horizontal field of view, but less vertical field of view. It's not a big deal, but the wider your screen, the less you'll strictly see, compared to 4:3. End lead post quote.
