The Battle For Middle Earth:
Does anyone know if this supports widescreen?
I am really tempted to buy it, but not if it looks funky on my notebook.

Thanks!

Nobody knows?

Anyone?

I've ordered it, will be delivered on Friday. I'll report as soon as I get it.

Although, it's based on the Command & Conquer Generals engine, so if that flies, this most likely will, also

C&C Generals will work in widescreen. There's an .ini file that you have to change in the C;Documents and SettingsMy DocumentsWestwood directory. I think it's something like that. It's certainly in My Documents. Once the res hase been changed, you see more of the terrain much in the same way as Red Alert 2 and Tib Sun. :)

just installed. It does not support widescreen out of the box. Checking for the .ini now.

Yep, it works for sure.

File is found here:
C:Documents and Settings[user]Application DataMy Battle for Middle-earth FilesOptions.ini

entry is:
Resolution = 1440 900

(width height)

Great!
Thanks! :D

yeah umbra, but did u recognize that the aspect ratio is false after that? at least when i entered 1280x720 for my widescreen beamer icons that should be circular were stretched to the sides. is there any way to correct this? i suppose not.

nevertheless i found the options.ini useful because now i can play in 960x720 which means that i have black bars to the left and right, but the center part of the projection area uses it's real physical resolution so i have a nice image quality

don't mind my bad english :lol:

the HUD is definitely stretched (common widescreen issue), but it the 3d world seems to be correct.

ayyyee, sorry for that...
i saw the stretched hud and thought -> ok, it doesn't work, i should rather change back quickly before i get used to these little fat man (the stretching is already hard to recognize) :wink:

so i think i will try it once again, thank you
