Widescreen Gaming Forum

tried but then the game just crashed and says not responding .

If you could maybe detail how i can edit the exe to 1920x1200 it would be much appreciated .

I tried this with my retail exe and the one available no cd as well thinking maybe i needed a cracked exe for this to work but to no avail.

Thanks for the effort either way Racer S.

if you choose a bad resolution/refresh rate it will just crash.. make sure you can support that resolution.

btw my exe is the cracked one and 53,482,288 bytes

Ya my screen is 1920x1200 60hz so im not sure whats up .

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.

Let me know, and Have Fun!

EDIT: I could have edited the game executable but its kinda big. So this will do.

Thanks for the quick fix but for some reason the characters looks a little too skinny when playing at 1920x1200 compared to playing the game on my Xbox 360 in 1080i Widescreen. I am not sure if not being able to actually choose Widescreen Res in the options even when adding 1920x1200 in the ini is the problem but at least your fix shows that these resolutions are available and will hopefully be added into the first patch.

Works great, nice one Racer_S!
But yes indeed everything is vertically stretched a bit. I think this is because the "widescreen 1" value basically changes the AR to 16:9 and so a 16:10 resolution will be stretched to fit. An AR fix will be needed as well as this resolution fix to get it running properly.

Just the usual example of a lazy console port.

Thank you very much, I added your fix to my Mercs 2 Fix thread on the Pandemic forums, with credit of course.

Looking forward to the AR fix.

Looking forward to trying this one out. So I guess I will hold off playing the game till it is released.

im going to install xp 32 tonight on dual boot and see if the problem i am having is just a vista 64 issue cause i have run out of options to try.

I wouldn't waste your time, its got nothing to do with the OS..
