report changed ==Singleplayer anomalies== There are no 2D screens where the gameplay is hurt by being stretched. There is no "mission map" where the scale would matter and stretching would throw it off. ==Aspect ratio support== My 16:9 shots are shot at 1600x900 resolution (added to photo descriptions). ==Cut-scenes== What is FMV? Loading screens are static pictures with progress bar. Introduction movie is not based on game engine. ==Grading== Summary of widescreen-related flaws: So far, no confirmation for widescreen resolutions below 1280x1024: 1280x720, 1280x768 and 1280x800 --- Note the horizontally increased FOV in 1680x1050 - there is no vertical increase in FOV from 1024x768. Does it represent HOR+ game? |

What is FMV? Full motion video. It basically means that the game plays a video file for each cut-scene instead of rendering it with the game's engine. Note the horizontally increased FOV in 1680x1050 - there is no vertical increase in FOV from 1024x768. Does it represent HOR+ game? Yes. ==Grading== Calculated grade: C Major unresolved issues: None Minor unresolved issues: None Summary of widescreen-related flaws: No support for widescreen resolutions below 1280x1024 .ini solution Stretched 2D screens Stretched HUD Stretched FMVs Cranky's coverage estimate: 99% |

I just registered to tell you that the game runs on my laptop with a resolution of 1280 x 800. In Options Menu i can also choose 1280 x 768 (not tested). Maybe this is because of a patch. You should check this / correct this :) |

Can you try 1280x768, and see if it works? |

Tested now. 1280 x 768 works for me. Its the german version of the game with the newest patch (Patch 2). |

Aehm. As i said, its an option in the options menu. So the method should be native, not .ini, right? I cannot test the other resolutions, as my monitors dont support them... The other flaws seem to be correct. |

So the method should be native, not .ini, right? If somebody can confirm that 1440x900 and 1680x1050 work natively, then yes. |
