Widescreen Gaming Forum

Now that's the problem ... :wink:

Here is how to ...
http://www.widescreengamingforum.com/wiki/index.php?title=Nvidia:_Add_Custom_Desktop_Resolution

It is from the "Features" at the top of the forum ...

If you have a problem ... let us know maybe someone can help further.

Thanks a ton for all your help. I really appreciate it. Merry Christmas! :)

I'm still having some trouble setting the custom res. My control panel is different then the one in the tutorial. I have the latest forceware. Do you think you can walk me through it?

OK ... here you go ...
Be in mind that last time I tried this with the nVidia drivers I couldn't get it to do 1440x900 ...
I think just because the drivers were not correct/complete ... or something.

Also keep in mind that you do this at your own risk ... I'm not responsible if it all goes pear shaped ! ... :D
Some monitors do not like custom resolutions !

It's something like this ... but I have slightly different drivers from you as I am at my computer with the 8800's not the 7900's ...
It should be very similar though ...

Open the nVidia controls... make sure it says "Advanced View" at the top and not "Standard View" ...
Click "Display ... Setup display resolution, multiple displays, photos and video support"... in the main panel on the right ...
Click "Manage Custom Timings" ... in the panel on the right ...
Click the check box "Allow modes not exposed by the display" ...
Click the button "Create" ...
Input your desired resolution ...
Click Advanced and make sure it says "Actual refresh rate : 60.00"
Click "Test" ...
The screen should change to the new settings as a test ... when it asks you if you want to keep the new settings click yes or ok.
That should be it ...
Click the OK button at the top right and you have your custom resolution ...

Now set your desktop resolution back to 1680x1050 ... but double check that 1440 is in there also as a display resolution.
Use the widescreen file for the game as before and you should have the game in 1440x900 ... but your desktop will be at it's native resolution.
The in-game video options menu will say some other resolution but it should be correct ...
You can change all the video settings in the game apart from the resolution ... if you do change the resolution you will mess it up.

I hope this helps ... get back to me if you are still having trouble and I will if I can help.

So far so good, but I have a question. Actual refresh=59.88. Is that going to be a problem?

If it accepted the new res I wouldn't think so .... but can't be sure ... I think it is just your monitor.

That's weird. It actually made it worse. :( The setting was available on properties, but when I set it the desktop shifts to the top right and now theres tearing and white lines at the bottom. I guess it just cant be displayed. Thanks for your help.

Sorry to hear that ... :( ... we tried ...

You mentioned earlier in the thread ...

... but 1680x1050 does work. I want to lower the res because of lag issues.

... Not sure how much it will help you but try turning the shadows down to low ... during the game you don't really notice they are low ... especially when you are ducking and diving to survive ... :mrgreen: ... and it really helps with the framerates.

Sorry to be asking so late in the game! Is there any chance of getting 1216 x 692. Buy the time i can translate little endian I would have gotten old and lost interest in games altogether. Dam you lcd tv manufacturers that give native resolutions that aren't equal to the input.

1216X692??!!! WTF kind of resolution is that? Sell that thing and get one with more normal res.

Here are my results using the widescreen resolutions:





hey ubi.. fix this ******* wallhack ****. i jsut want to play the game in widescreen, i dont want to have to cheat to do so.

Here are my results using the widescreen resolutions:

What widescreen resolutions ?
Your shots are all 800x600 ... 4:3 ... not widescreen but your HUD looks like it does when using a widescreen hack ... i.e. with larger gaps at the sides.
Your screenshots maybe scaled down from some other higher res but it isn't a widescreen one ... and 800x600 is available in the game and of course also not widescreen.

May be you are trying to use a bad screen resolution.

but you know this ... :wink:

have you noticed that if you pick bad resolutions the game goes into a transparent mode?

If you have widescreen problem ... in order to get help ... you need to explain you problem better ...
What resolution are you trying to get ?
What .bin file you are using ? ...
What resolutions does your monitor do ?
... etc.

New Patch ... out tomorrow ...

Wow...

Finally. And here I was thinking they were done patching the game.

Bravo Ubisoft! Way to add features that should have been included in the release.

I tested the patch.

Yes I do have 2 widescreen resolutions available (1920x1080 and 1280x720).

BUT...

The hud is still 4:3 and the scopes STILL look crappy when zoomed in. JUST like the hex hack to the R6VegasConfig.bin.

This is no better than what we already had done for ourselves. Maybe I'm crazy to assume that they were going to really make the game widescreen like it is on the 360.

You suck Ubisoft.

No really...

You suck.


Love,

Gabbo

Thanks Gabbo ...

Shakes head in disbelief at Ubisoft ... :roll:


::TrueWS

Makes me wonder sometimes if they just see these user made solutions and implement the same thing. Job Done.

Ridiculous.
