Is it possible to stretch the hud- and inventar-boxes or somthing like that?
Because the letters dont fit with the boxes at 1440x900

Is there a fix for that??

No ... I don't thinks so ...
However you could try my fix for this with TripleHead ... it should work but I haven't tested it in widescreen.
All that has changed is that the text should wrap to a smaller width and so it should also work for widescreen ...

What "letters" ? ... can you show me a screenshot ?

Damn... 64 fixes in the patch but not the most important fix we wanna see... plus it breaks razer_s's handy fix :(

I wish that racer_s want to reveal more about his hard work so maybe more people can try making those patches.

It seems like the resoulution is 1440x900 but the menus and hud stays at 1024x768

Errrrrh ... that's really strange ... mine doesn't do anything like that ...
Sorry mate but I don't think I can help you ... :(

Just a thought ...
Did you do any modding to the game ?

No, but another strange thing, is, that some parts of the inventory say "take all" and "description" it hasn't translated right.

is it possible that there are some old .reg-files from the beta, wich mess up the new files?

Could be ... but I wouldn't have thought so ...

Does it do these odd things when you use a 4:3 res ?

BTW ... You mentioned that the HUD seemed to be still at 1024x768 ... it is normal for the HUD to just stretch ... (as it did in those TripleHead screenshots of mine) but your text should not be doing the things it is in those screenshots.

Yeah, if i change it to 1024x768 it looks allright,


But isnt there any thing i can do ? (i reinstalled two times)

I think it is using different sized text for different sized resolutions and based on the height of the resolution used ... for some reason it doesn't like 1440x900.
I'll see if I have time to do some tests tomorrow ... maybe try to get mine to run at 1440x900 to see what I get.

OK ... I tried 1440x900 this morning and whilst my text is a tiny bit bigger than I think it is supposed to be I don't get any of those problems you have Beanmaster ... :?
Very strange ... I don't know what to suggest ... :(

Anyone else using 1440x900 ?

I figured out something very wired.
I have some translationbugs, if i search in dead bodys, (ex: it says "items, and descriptions)
.
But when i change to ANY other resolution, it gives me correct hud, and translated inventory..
Very strange

This morning, I decided to install the patch and start over, but I didn't know the FOV hack would be affected :(.

At least I kept my old saves in another folder, so I can reinstall and continue with WS if I want, but I think I'll wait and see if racer_s updates his fix.

The screen is way too cropped to play in WS without the fix, you can't even see the binoculars in your hand :(

Man, still no update to FOV? I stopped playing until it comes out, and that makes me a saaaad panda .

Hehe. *waits anxiously*

Please, please O,mighty racer_s.

Ive installed the latest patch... i havent started the game yet, but i think im going to play in 4:3 (aspect scaled) until a fix is found.

Ok guys, I have some great news for you. Don Reba, moderator of the official S.T.A.L.K.E.R. forum said this today regarding widescreen support:

There was a discussion of widescreen support. The problem is understood, and should be fixed in the third patch.

The second patch is progressing fine, so I think the third won't take too long. Great news for us!!!

[EDIT] Link fixed, it should be the fourth post

Your link does not get me to the actual thread ... just the forum ...
Can you help us get to the thread by giving us a little more info about the thread ... for example ... the title and section of the forum where it can be found ...

Thank you ... :D
