-=Garbage DinGo=- Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 I've just got a Samsung 22" widescreen monitor which has a natural resolution of 1680 x 1050. I can force this resolution in SoF2 single player but not in multi player. Anyone know of a fix for this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benway Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 only idea: shortcut with properties: [ X:\Path\SoF2MP.exe +set r_mode -1 +set r_customaspect 1 +set r_customwidth 1680 +set r_customheight 1050 ] if this works seta r_mode "-1" seta r_customaspect "1" seta r_customwidth "1680" seta r_customheight "1050" in all cfgs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fozzer Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 via console: /r_mode -1 /r_customwidth #### /r_customheight #### Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-=Garbage DinGo=- Posted July 22, 2007 Author Share Posted July 22, 2007 Doesn't work fozzer. I know it works with all the other games based on the Quake engine but for some reason not SoF2. I'll just have to shoot small dumpy people with big heads :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fozzer Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 http://www.ravengames.com/board/showthread.php?p=98654 also found this too; sof2 ==Multiplayer support== Multiplayer does not work at widescreen resolutions with the official 1.03 patch. I was able to get widescreen working using the unofficial 1.04 patch, but I doubt you will be able to join any servers using this patch. :( http://www.widescreengamingforum.com/forum...opic.php?t=4655 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-=Garbage DinGo=- Posted July 22, 2007 Author Share Posted July 22, 2007 Thanks for the help fozzer but I've spent hours googling this and read countless posts on forums. All to no avail. Think I'll try the scaling options in my nvidia driver control panel to see if I can get some results. Or as I said before it's down to shooting small dumpy men with big heads. Hmmm should increase my number of headshotS though :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maester Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 no prob its just a temp solution I have used it before with no issues but thats back when I played sof2 lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zfxpyro Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 Not sure if this works as I dont have a widescreen, find it on another site. Let me know if you have any success as im hopefully buying a new widescreen monitor in the new few weeks. Yo, i use a 22 inch flat screen as well.. 1650x1050 desktop. I also had the same dilemma as you, best solution was. seta r_mode "8" seta r_fullscreen "7" seta r_customwidth "1024" seta r_customheight "1280" seta r_customaspect "1" Still feels a little stretched, but there the best settings really, and u get use to it in no time.

-=Garbage DinGo=- Posted July 30, 2007 Author Share Posted July 30, 2007 Actually those are the settings I'm using at the moment but they still get some getting used to as everything is a bit squashed. It seems that it's impossible to run at a resolution of 1680 x 1050 so I guess I'll just have to get used to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
