Widescreen Gaming Forum

Hand edit the .cfg file - instructions for that are here:

If it's really messed up, delete the .cfg file, and let Call of Duty create another default one.

I posted some pics on the screenshot section showcasing the differences between fullscreen and widescreen in this game.

This solution worked perfectly for me. The menu and HUD are stretched, and it appears the FOV hack only works in Single Player, but it is still better than nothing. Thank you! :)

Could not load OpenGL. Make sure that you have the latest drivers for your video card from the manufacturer's web site.

Sounds like you forgot this...

Is there a way to get videos to work with a custom res?

Not that I know of.

Is there a way to get videos to work with a custom res?

Most of the videos encoded for games are in a single format (4:3). Prerendered cutscenes and intro videos (with the exception of Unreal Tournament's) are never rendered in realtime and are therefore stretched to fit the widescreen aspect ratio. Unless companies start building games with widescreen in mind, and include 16:10, 16:9, and 4:3 versions of all prerendered videos, we'll have to deal with stretched 4:3 for a while.

It's not stretched, it just not visible, period. You can only hear the videos, you can't watch them when you are using custom resolutions. I would be happy if it was just stretched, I would like to be able to watch them.

Well for Q3 engine games, you are correct; intro videos usually don't show at all. However, for games like Republic Commando, the intro videos are stretched.
