Widescreen Gaming Forum

I've played the full version of the game, and I can confirm that the entire game takes place in the 16:9 anamorphic mode, letterboxing any other aspect ratios.

Also, could a moderator can move this portion of the post to the correct thread:
As of the 1.07 Halo patch, all aspect ratios/resolutions are supported above 640x480, and the FOV automatically adjusts to the aspect ratio/resolution. This is native and can be set from within the game menus.

Thanks for the confirmation.

And rather than troubling the moderators with that, I recommend you create a new solution thread yourself with this information. I will update the MGL accordingly. And be sure to include before and after screenshots.

Hi guys ...

Racer_S has made a tool to remove the letterboxing ... get his tool here ... http://dl.tocaedit.com/conFOV2.zip
Just run the file and leave it running whilst the game is playing ... :D

It seems the FOV is automatically adjusted for the res ... 8)

1280x1024 ... click to see at full size ...


1920x1200 ... click to see at full size ...


3072x768 ... before the tool ... click to see at full size ......

3072x768 ... with the tool running ... click to see at full size ...

Adding "Widescreen "0"" to autoexec.cfg removes letterboxing.

Hi jmj713 ... welcome to the WSGF ... 8)

Whilst running the game at 1920x1200 ...

I tried ... "Widescreen "0"" ... it doesn't change anything for me.

I tried ... "Widescreen" "0" ... it does remove the letterboxing bars at the top and bottom but adds black bars to the sides keeping the view to 4:3 ... even though the res is 1920x1200.

I might be doing it wrong ... if so let me know.

Racer_S has made a new tool for TripleHead users ... this one allows you to squeeze the HUD in so that it is just on the center screen ... http://dl.tocaedit.com/conFOV5.zip

Just move the sliders in for the Right and Left ... :D

Adding "Widescreen "0"" to autoexec.cfg removes letterboxing.

Cool it works!!!.. no more "letterboxes" for me!.. :D

Paddy : did u add "Widescreen "0" instead of the typo of "Widescreen "0"" ?.. :oops:

Cheers :wink:

From the other lines in the file, the correct syntax is obviously "Widescreen" "0". And it really doesn't help for TH2G.

Here's what you get on a triple display by default OR using the "Widescreen" "0" trick:


And here's the result with Racer_S's brilliant app running (default HUD position):


The cutscenes become Hor+ as well:


(all eye-candy including "intuition blur" and "camera noise-like effect" are on, hence the color differences between my pics and the original report's).

Does conFOV.exe help with widescreen resolutions too ?

Need some help here please.

Looking for

conFOV5.zip

file to adjust to FOV for this game.

I searched and can't seem to find the file on ToCAEDIT site. Internet file search comes up empty too.

Version 5 of the tool ... conFOV5.zip

Thanks. Perhaps you may want to mention to Racer_S to include this missing file in his 'all-in-one' FOV zip file.

I have added this one to the Racer_S page. Link is in the left nav.

We still need a "ask Paddy" link...

Got the game. Hmmm...seems this hack does not alter the FOV but only the hud.

Is there not FOV work around for this game? Feels a bit too tight for my liking.

0) The_cranky_hermit should take a deep breath here. Also please note that I can prove all of the following assertions with screenshots, I just felt it'd be too aggravating to post 'em all.

1) Out of the box, Condemned is anamorphic in widescreen. TripleHead is both pillarboxed and squashed (i.e unsupported).

2) Adding "Widescreen" "0" to autoexec.cfg (game folder) or settings.cfg (player data folder) will make the game run in fullscreen in 4:3 and 5:4. In both widescreen and TripleHead though, this setting results in squashed gameplay, pillarboxing and misplaced HUD.

3) Racer_S designed a tool (conFOV.exe) to make the game Hor+ in surround. (Check the site's left panel for a link to all Racer_S FOV tools.)
- conFOV in TripleHead : the game is now Hor+, with slightly misplaced HUD.
- conFOV in widescreen : the HUD position is correct, the FOV is not.
:!: In all aspect ratios, using the tool to adjust the HUD's position doesn't quite work : the adjusted HUD keeps jumping to its default position and back again. Very annoying. Is it just me ?

4) Now, with a touch of both "Widescreen" "0" and conFOV, Condemned is Hor+ across the board. What you need to use depends on your aspect ratio.
Again, the HUD is slightly out of place in non-16:9 widescreen and surround, and the sliders in conFOV don't really help. :?

1024x768 (4:3), "Widescreen" "0" only


1280x800 (16:10), "Widescreen" "0" + conFOV


1360x768 (16:9), default


5040x1050, conFOV only



Here's what you'll see of the HUD on your center screen using "Widescreen" "0" or not in Wide TripleHead :

5040x1050, conFOV only


5040x1050, "Widescreen" "0" + conFOV


Keep in mind that the Collection Tool thingy will slide to the left whenever you must equip forensic tools, hence my preferring "conFOV only". In classic TripleHead however (3840x1024), the HUD position using "Widescreen" "0" + conFOV is much better and very close to what it should be.

Hope this helps, somehow.

Your post has me thoroughly confused. Can you rewrite it so that it focuses on information relevant to TH users?

Okay.
Launch conFOV.exe, launch the game, and voilà.

And this will make the game go from this:


to this?

Erm, so to speak, yes (now you're confusing me). Or from this...

5040x1050, out of the box
