Playing Space Rangers 2 in widescreen resolution?

[cephun]

you can play the rts mode in 1920. to do that go to the cfg file in the install folder. halfway down you will see the robot values, and look for robotresolution and change it to RobotResolution=1920,1080. you can't do anything for space or the menus since those parts are sprite based, and the rts mode is in 3d. enjoy

Thanks! I should note that after a lot of searching I found a patch that was said to make the russian version work in WS mode (all aspect of the game). However, there was another thread that hinted that it did not work on the english version so rather than risk a virus I decided to not try the patch. The threads were in russian (used google to translate) so not 100% sure on accuracy. Appears the game is very popular in (even today) in Russia. Also I saw hint of a space rangers 3 in progress. It sounded like the company folded after space ranger 2 because parts wanted to do multiplayer and other parts wanted to do single player version 3. The new company (which wanted to do single player games) then made KBL and KBAP and now it is rumored they are working on a space range 3 (single player) under a new product name since the old company owns the old product name. Caveat this is all translation of russian forums with google so it is possible i misunderstood or the translator was confused.

Anyways it does sound like for russian players there is a fan made patch for WS out there that probably does not work on the engilsh version.

Actually now my hopes are dashed. Reading the developer website forum (again using google to translate) it sounds like they are working on an unannounced multi-player game of some sort to be announced in the fall

Agree with othr poster, most widescreen LCD computer srceens have an option to play fullscreen. I have it set ( little buttons underneath the right hand side of monitor by the green power light) and can play everything from Fallout 1 640x480 (1997) to Space Rangers 2 Reboot (2009) at 1024x768 to Fallout 3 at 1290x1024 all at fullscreen!

Just bumping this thread to inform that there is a SR2 Resolution Patch supporting Widescreen resolutions, available here. It's still actively developed, so if anyone it's good to report any kind of issues to the developer directly. English Instructions & e-mail adress of author are included in the 7zip package.
