Title: New screen with wider aspect ratio
Post by: Kenn on April 11, 2010, 03:10:51 PM
I'm trying out a new flat screen monitor with a wider (8:5) aspect ratio than my old CRT (4:3) had.  Everything is fine, except when I go into :ff: and the game still tries to fill the screen.  Everything gets distorted and pulled wide.

Is there a way to tell FF to not fill the screen, so that it won't do that?

Well, make sure you chance the resolution in game of course.

Other than that, no.  I checked the wide screen gaming forum (http://www.widescreengamingforum.com/) wiki and it says FF deals with widescreen by stretching, so that's that.

Changing the resolution and opening the game in "window" mode might be what you're looking for, Kenn. Give that try. Amend -w to the end of your .exe's target.

Yeah.  Switching the resolution and opening it in Window mode seems to be doing it.   

Thanks.
