After reading and re-reading all known solutions to the problem of widescreen not being officially supported in Battlefield 1942 and having no success I have decided to try a different alternative. I recently recieved a widescreen display (Acer AL1916W) with a native res of 1440x900 at 60Hz, but I am unhappy with how the image appears in-game, apparently only displayed at a stretched 1024x768 regardless of my best efforts to get it running in proper 16:10. Therefore I wish to simply display the image in it's original 4:3 unstretched format, in 1024x768 res and have black borders along the side. My video card is an Nvidia 6800, and I am running winXP, does anyone know of how I could do this? |

I know you can manually change the FOV for 42, that might be an alternative to black bars. |

Hi Meggsy, Welcome to the forums. :) In your Nvidia card's display options (i.e. Digital Flat Panel Settings) choose "fixed aspect ratio scaling" - it will maintain the aspect ratio of your chosen resolution and display the picture with black bars on the side. |

Re:Stretch The monitor, while being a flatpanel, is connected via an analogue signal and I believe that because of this 'Digital Flat Panel Settings' does not appear, instead 'display mode timing' is shown. I tired the setting 'fixed aspect ratio timing' but the monitor still insists on stretching the image to the full width. |

this is really pissing me off too. The FOV setting just adjusts the camera position, but the geometry is still stretched sideways. I also can't get AA to work in game. What is wrong with this. |
