If you are interested, please contact me on ruzarovsky@1cpublishing.eu

Wow. Nice service!

Alas, the patch doesn't help. The game only lists 4:3 and 16:10 resolutions, 16:9 is still unsupported (no 1920x1080, 1360x768, 1280x720)...

ztorm, could you try adding ,"1920X1080" in VideoOptions.lua lines 52&53, and in Painmenu.lua uncomment (remove "--") line 2401 and comment line 2402 ? My monitor can't go above 1280x960...

Also tweak VideoOptions_french.lua & VideoOptions_spanish.lua if needed.

Hello guys,

I received many emails from you in which you offered your help in this matter. I already sent patch to one of you (I guess ztorm?

and it didn`t help. I`m now talking to devs and see if they can add 16:9 resolutions in patch. Will keep you updated.

I will keep emails you sent me and will contact you in case the devs would need more info.

Many thanks

Yep Karel, that was me

By the way, could you please report this thread to the devs too ? I think our user-made fix for 16:10 might interest them in relation to the 16:9 problem... Support for all aspect ratios would be great, a wider view in widescreen would be even better !

Sounds good, I'll try that as time permits - but you know, 1280x720 is a true 16:9 resolution you could use

Edit : can you post your lines 2401 & 2402 of Painmenu.lua ? I'm using Notepad and line 2401 is not commented...

In the ORIGINAL painmenu.lua, lines 2401&2402 should be:

Code:

	--R3D.ApplyVideoSettings( Cfg.Resolution, Cfg.Fullscreen, Cfg.Gamma, Cfg.Brightness, Cfg.Contrast, Cfg.Shadows, Cfg.TextureQuality, Cfg.WeatherEffects, Cfg.ViewWeaponModel, Cfg.TextureFiltering, Cfg.DynamicLights, Cfg.Projectors, Cfg.Coronas, Cfg.Decals, Cfg.DecalsStay )
	R3D.ApplyVideoSettings( 0, Cfg.Fullscreen, Cfg.Gamma, Cfg.Brightness, Cfg.Contrast, Cfg.Shadows, Cfg.TextureQuality, Cfg.WeatherEffects, Cfg.ViewWeaponModel, Cfg.TextureFiltering, Cfg.DynamicLights, Cfg.Projectors, Cfg.Coronas, Cfg.Decals, Cfg.DecalsStay )

Inverting the commented lines should allow to change the resolution without restating the game.

I tried fov 360 just for fun...Don't try that...Game crashed at first shot...

EDIT: if the previous adding "1920X1080" in VideoOptions.lua doesn't work, try

Code:

R3D.ApplyVideoSettings( "1920X1080", Cfg.Fullscreen, Cfg.Gamma, Cfg.Brightness, Cfg.Contrast, Cfg.Shadows, Cfg.TextureQuality, Cfg.WeatherEffects, Cfg.ViewWeaponModel, Cfg.TextureFiltering, Cfg.DynamicLights, Cfg.Projectors, Cfg.Coronas, Cfg.Decals, Cfg.DecalsStay )

Well of course... Even if you could display the game over three 16:9 displays, the FOV value would have to be set to... 156 only !

Your resolution trick does not work : I added 1600x900 and replaced 1280x800 with 1280x720, but the game doesn't "see" these changes to the resolution list. By the way I can select 2560x1600 and play at that res no problem, although it is not listed in VideoOptions.lua... so it's probably not the right file (or the only file) to edit.
The Painmenu trick works though, it's great to be abe to apply a resolution change without restarting the game
