I just want to know if it supports it natively. If not I'll wait for someone to crack it.

I'm curious about this too... been looking forward to this game for a long time, but I don't want to buy it if I can't play it on my monitor properly.

I heard that this on uses the same engine as the first, so probally, out of the box, no widescreen

looks like we'll have to wait for someone to crack it :(

Ah, but KotOR used the same engine as NWN: and that supported widescreen out of the box.

While I'd like to say I'll find out on Friday (when it's released in the UK) I think it's unlikely I'll buy it until after May. ;)

I have the PC version, and it does NOT support widescreen out of the box. And still only 1280x1024 max resolution. I eagerly await Wogg's fix.

thats right, KOTOR needed an exe crack to set the res

Which did not work that great, I just tried 1068(ish)x600 and it was awesome, but the options when talking were gone, and I couldn't get out of it.

It worked fine for me on kotor1.

I can confirm that it doesn't support widescreen out of the box. However it does support higher 4:3 ratio resolution. It auto detect your video card and monitor capability and only give you the option that's supported by your hardware.
Anyway, I am very disappointed by this. It's just retarded not to include widescreen support on this one.

swkotor2.ini edited width and height under [Graphics Options]. 1280x720 doesn't work. Good Luck.

I edited the ini file for 1280x720 and it works! I kid you not! I am playing on a Samsung 50 inch DLP via a DVI to HDMI Monster cable. I am using a NVidia 6800 Ultra vid card with driver 71.80. In the game options, it will still say that I am only at 640x480. Hiowever, when playing the game, I press the display button for my tv and it does confirm that I am at 1280x720 at 60fps. I wasn't able to do this with the original KOTOR, it with the widescreen patches. It looks great! I know I can't be the only one.

Interesting... I'm going to have to install the game now and try it out :p

I'm using a 6800 Ultra Extreme with the 71.80 drivers hooked up, via DVI, to my 50 inch Sagem DLP HDTV (1280x720) and no matter what I do to the ini file I cannot get widescreen.
Tried all thinkable variations of the graphics/display options. At "best" I manage to get a cropped version of the picture, but even so, that cropped picture is still 4:3.

Are you sure your TV is just not streching it?

Editing the .ini file does NOT work with my setup either. Dell 2005FPW @ 1680x1050, Radeon x850 XT PE, Catalyst 5.2, "best" res I can get is 1280x1024. I pray that someone figures out a way to get this thing widescreen.

I can't believe the fools over at Obsidian ignored our pleas entirely. From what I can tell this game has no widescreen capability at all.

Absolutely unacceptable. Perhaps I'll just return the game. There is no reason for them to not fix what Bioware did wrong. This game was rushed and it shows in a million different ways.
