Widescreen Gaming Forum

The only wide aspect ratio fully supported in The Hunter is 16:9. :( No known solution to this day.

Hey guys, I think I just found a workaround for the Hunter running in triple-wide resolution with the proper aspect ratio and FOV.

1. Start the Hunter at your desired resolution in fullscreen.
2. After the game launches, press ALT+ENTER as if you wanted to change to windowed-mode.
3. Instead of reverting to a window, the screen will flicker. When it's restored, you will still be in full screen but now the aspect ratio and FOV will be correct!

I don't know what mechanism this works by. But, it's working great for me. You may have to repeat these steps each time you launch the Hunter. Give it a shot and report back if this workaround fixes your FOV. Thanks!

I can confirm that this is working.

Thats pretty impressive. :rockout

I can also confirm that the alt + enter fix works. It just takes a second too. Its practically instant on my setup. The game is crazy addicting and the graphics are beautiful. I mean they really are outstanding and I get a kind of Arma 2 feel with the visuals/player movements.

I think it's a bit funny that their own devs either don't know about this or played dumb when asked to look into supporting Triple-wide resolutions (as far as FoV). I can't find the post, but they basically said that they would prefer to spend the time making sure that most issues are fixed that affect a wide playerbase, rather than focus on an issue that doesn't affect as many.

I really cant say enough about this game. Its one of the most fun games ive played this year. Playing it at night with the lights off and the surround sound cranked up really made me feel like i was there hunting those deer. Definitely recommend.

I have been waiting for a surround solution to finally dl this game. :mrgreen:

I wonder how WSGF would call this support, native, cmd ? I would call it trick. :wink:

Forget these answers, they came from the previous owners of the game, Emote Games.

theHunter is now developped by Expansive Worlds, a subsidiary of Avalanche (the guys behind Just Cause 2).

Cool, thanks for clarifying.

Ive experienced some BSoDs running 3-way SLI and the "alt+enter" solution, FPS was ok, around 40, but the GPU usage was very high, near 99% for all three GPUs, then i found out that if i press "alt+enter" once more (lool), yes thats twice "alt+enter", FPS is boosted to 60 - 80, and no more crashes. :P

I've had issues with the HunterMate not working properly after an ALT+ENTER. It won't recognize tracks like it should. But, other than that, it's working well for me.

Ive contacted Stefan Pettersson, he is one of the developers, these guys at Expansive Worlds / Avalanche Studios seem to be so nice and accessible to the users.
I explained him whats left to add perfect widescreen / multi monitor support to the game, he told me they will check what can be done when they come back from vacation, i think they will actually check and fix it, there is not much left to be done.
