Widescreen Fixer

[Monkeywoman]

There are many games that do not support widescreen properly. These games usually let you set a widescreen resolution, but do not adjust the field of view (FOV) accordingly. This causes the top and bottom of the screen to be cropped. Because of this issue, I decided to develop a program that will adjust the field of view for the aspect ratio of your monitor.

NOTES

* You will notice a slight change when you zoom in or out with weapons.
* If you use Microsoft Windows Vista, you need to have either UAC disabled or run the program as administrator.
* If you're having problems with any of the Battlefield games, reapply the latest update and see if it helps.

SUPPORTED GAMES
These games are currently supported:

* Battlefield 2 v1.40 - v1.41
* Battlefield 2142 v1.10
* Battlefield 2142 v1.20

ASPECT RATIOS
Here is a list of common resolutions and their aspect ratios.

* 640x480 = 4:3
* 720x480 = 15:10
* 720x576 = 5:4
* 800x600 = 4:3
* 848x480 = 16:9
* 960x600 = 16:10
* 1024x768 = 4:3
* 1152x864 = 4:3
* 1280x720 = 16:9
* 1280x768 = 15:9
* 1280x800 = 16:10
* 1280x960 = 4:3
* 1280x1024 = 5:4
* 1360x768 = 16:9
* 1440x900 = 16:10
* 1680x1050 = 16:10
* 1920x1080 = 16:9
* 1920x1200 = 16:10


USAGE
Just extract the zip, place the program file anywhere you want and run it. You may start the program at any time, whether the game is already running or not.

To use this program:
For Battlefield 2 and Battlefield 2142, edit the shortcut and add: +widescreen 1 +szx 1920 +szy 1200 (or whichever widescreen resolution you use).
For Call of Duty 4, you must set the in-game aspect ratio to standard (4:3) for this to work correctly!

1. Start Widescreen Fixer.
2. Select the game you will be playing.
3. Select the aspect ratio of your monitor.
4. Start the specific game.
5. Use the Numpad * (v1.00 to v1.06), Right Control (v1.10), or ; (Semi-Colon) (v1.10.1 to v1.45.1) key to enable or disable the fix.

Any chance of getting this to support the original Call of Duty for 1920x1200? I know you can edit certain files to force wide screen support but it would be nice if this was no longer necessary.

god knows why you wasted your time on COD4 its very easy to adjust FOV with in the console. but the game supports widescreen I believe.

I'm sure Mercenaries 2 needs this patch as well. I cannot believe a recent game like that does not have 16:10 support built in.

Mind boggling.

CoD4 is widescreen capable already...

As is Bioshock, however if you patch the game, the developers fixed the view issue last year.

Nice idea, but check out http://www.widescreengamingforum.com/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page for your main source of widescreen fixes.
