Widescreen Gaming Forum

I tried the demo and it did not have native widescreen support. Does anyone have the actual game (released this week)? Is there widescreen support? Thanks!

I'm guessing no one has picked it up. Did you get the config files (.ini or .cfg, usually) or the registry for a place to manually change the res?

i just got nascar simracing, and it does not support widescreen. There is a config.ini file, but it only has video and one number beside it. 7=1024x 768, and 12=1280x1024. I tried numbers in between, plus using halves, and didnt seem to make a difference.

You might try negative numbers, that worked on Thief 3.

tried negative numbers 1-12, and they all seem to set res at 640x480. Too bad, good lookin game. Searched for registry entries and no luck there either.

The retail version included 1280x720x32 as an option. To get it to work in demo...add "+allvideomodes" with space but not quotes at end of 3d setup executable. You should have 1280x720x32 now when you run 3d setup :D

hey crazy fred,

i tried your suggestion, but it didnt work for me on the retail version. I never had 1280x720 come up as a res for me.
One thing i did notice was after i add the +allvideomodes to my shortcut, the config.ini file in the game folder changed a bit. The videomode line in the config was set at 78, where as before it never went higher than 12, 12 being 1280x1024. So i changed it to 89 and i got 1280x720.(78 was 1024x768)
And in the 3d setup, i did get 2 new res's, 1152x864, and 1280x960.
Thanks for the idea, looks awesome now.

Glad some of what I suggested worked. Kinda fun to play on a big screen :D

I was unable to get the same results you guys were...any ideas?

NASCAR Racing Season does WS natively and is a superior game IMHO.

:)

Anyone have any luck with widescreen in this game?Ive tried the tweaks and i only get 800x600 and 1024x768.

first time poster, long time reader.

If you have the retail version, and installed in the default directory, you can get access of the widescreen up to 1440 x 900 by doing this:

create a blank shortcut on your desktop.

set target to:


Run the shortcut you just created, scroll all the way to the bottom

you should see all the widescreen resolutions there.

I just loaded up NASCAR Sim Racing and can confirm that the 3D Setup Shortcut solution posted above does indeed show all 16 and 32 bit resolutions. I set mine up for my Native Res of 1360x768 on my 32" Olevia and it works perfectly. This game does fully support WS. I have not yet updated my copy. I wanted to see if supported it before any patches or updates were applied and it did. If you have this game, it will support WS right out of the CD case.

anyone know how to get 1680X1050?Mine will show up to 1600X1000 but doesnt really look to good.Dont mind the little stretching just seems washed out on color if I choose anything besides my native 1680X1050
Thanks

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I assume that the res is game lited at 1440x900 as that is all the switch mod allows.

I really wish the game developers would've included full support for WS as it's been out long enough now that there really is no excuse not to. Some older games yeah, i can understand, but some of these brand new titles and other titles that WS was around when they were developed? It just doesn't make sense.
