Widescreen Grade: AMulti-monitor Grade: ARead Full Detailed Report - Far Cry 2Far Cry 2 is a mission-based, open-ended FPS set in a fictional african country on the verge of civil war. The story is not even remotely connected to the original Far Cry, so this game is more like a Boiling Point fan's dream come true. Who needs Trigens when angry mercs are everywhere ?

FYI those are not actual cutscenes. You still have control of the camera.

There are a few more as well. The intro when you are falling out of bed and anytime you use a critical healing task. I was too lazy to pic them up.

==Game Information==
However the Widescreen checkbox is only available in singleplayer, and it seems the FOV hack created by Racer_S for v1.0 & 1.01 is banned by Punkbuster; so to this day, Far Cry 2 is still Vert- in multiplayer.
Do I have some weirdo version of FC2 or why am I able to have widescreen checkbox enabled on multiplayer ;)

Just checked this - The "Widescreen" checkbox is available in all Multiplayer modes (checked Player Matches (Unranked), Ranked Matches, and LAN) and works to change the FOV.

Would you mind taking some MP screenshots to show this? It could improve the grade.

How did you get a centered HUD in triplehead? Mine is stretching pretty badly.

Absolutely nothing, but it may depend on your aspect ratio. The game seems to like 16:10 and 3x 16:10 best, and in fact, I seem to have overlooked some HUD stretch in 16:9...
Are you playing fullscreen or in a window ? DX9 or DX10 ?

Problem occurs in DX9 and DX10 mode. I've tried both 5040x1050 and bezel corrected 5292x1050, but the HUD still stretches.
Edit: Figured it out. It's a bug in FarCry2.
If your desktop resolution is 5040x1050 before you start the game, it centers everything correctly.
If your desktop resolution is bezel corrected (5292x1050 in my case) before you start the game, it stretches everything.
The game itself can be set to 5292x1050 and still center everything, but your desktop resolution has to be 5040x1050. Seriously annoying, though at least UltraMon can fix it automatically. I suppose chances of a patch from the developers at this point is pretty slim, eh?
