Set aspect ratio to 4:3 in the game menu.
Try to run the widesreenfixer after you have launched COD 4 (thats how it works here).

great help over here but please tell me what is the widescreen fixer? :oops:

Post by **dopefish** » 22 Aug 2009, 08:53

It's a small tool I wrote that corrects field of view and aspect-ratios in certain games.

Call of Duty 4 has support for 4:3, 16:10, and 16:9 out of the box, but nothing else. My fixer enables 5:4, 15:9, and triple-head aspect-ratios.

I just got Cod4 and I'm trying to run it on my triplehead. I have 3 19" so im trying to use the 3x16:10 Wide Surround on Widescreen Fixer. I've chosen the right patch and did configured it the way thales100 said to. But I get no results.

I'm using Windows 7. Would that be the issue? I'm running Widescreen Fixer as an administrator.

Actually, if you're using the latest one, you shouldn't have to mess with the in-game aspect-ratio anymore. It will just override it.

Can you provide more information, suiken? Does it report that the game is running? When you are in an active match, does it report any number there by default? (Does it say 0? or does it say something like 1.333?)

I currently am only playing Single Player, but yes it's when I'm actually running the games 3D environment.

I'm using v1.5 and have tried others.

Here's what it says on the bottom:

Status
Game Running: Yes
Fix Enabled: No
Value: 0.76448435 (This number can Vary At times, it's Usually in between 0.6 - 0.8)

I have messed with the Update Rate with no reaction in game.

That's a weird value.

However, it says "Fix Enabled: No" ... did you enable it?

Okay, I enable it (after figuring i had to hit the hotkey) still the problem remains as it doesn't change my FOV. Every character still looks short and fat. The only thing it does is fix my HUD, and make it impossible to use the options menu.

Have you set the "aspect ratio" in the game menu, graphics options, to 4:3 ?

Nope, Same still happens, I get a Fixed HUD and the FOV hasn't increased.

I'm Using 3 16:10 Monitors, Does it not know what to do with it?

Your WSF should look like this (for MP, select SP if you are doing SP)

Everything looks right on mine, except the value.

Mine looks like this:

And the game looks like this:

Like the other dude, I have a fixed hud but a non-fixed FOV.

I'm running Windows 7 x64 RC1.

Here its fine, are you running the widescreen fixer as administrator (right click and choose) ?
