Widescreen Gaming Forum

Now that is just silly, if anything then any widescreen resolution should have been supported instead of ported directly from the consoles. Ah well, I still have my receipt, might as well get something else for now ;)

Can i expect a fix for this?

That is going to be in the hands of Pandemic (the developer). Knowing how Pandemic dealt with their games in the past (updates, bugfixes) I am inclined to say "not for a long while" to "no", but that's just me being devil's advocate... :?

Game looks horrible stretched to 16:10.
No windowed mode too. grrr.

any way to black bar it like with 4:3? (nvidia drivers)

Native Res Widescreen Support

If using an Nvidia card, you can create a custom resolution in the Nvidia control panel (under Display Manage custom resolutions). For 1680x1050 native res, create a 1680x945 (59hz) resolution to have it selectable in game. This will add thin black bars to the top and bottom of the screen, but the pixels will be 1:1.

It works.
Not sure how or why but it works.
Game actually looks tons better in proper widescreen.

So Im gonna guess TH2G is gonna go bad on this game?! Ive been playing in 1600x1200 and looks great but was really hoping for some TH2G love.

Does anyone know where the custom resolutions tab is under the 1.5.30.22 version of the control panel?

dont work here on 1440x900 :cry:

Since it's probably d3d based, one of those resolution overriders might work for widescreen or th2g resolutions.

Softth makes one of em but theres more than one.

Mercenaries 2 Custom Resolution Launcher

Edit Mercs2.ini in your game folder then run this utility. Leave it running during game startup or it will not work.
