Widescreen resolution help
« on: August 10, 2018, 10:35:47 AM »
Hey all, this might be a bit of a noob question here, but is there a way to run RA2 in widescreen (16:9 prefrably) without the graphics being stretched out, both in the UI and in battles? Ive searched the forums but the method i found for editing the ra2.cfg file always seems to result in stretching the graphics out rather than just widening the camera angle for battles. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Note that battles will always be stretched if you're not using a 4:3 resolution.

Ah i see. Thanks for the heads up. I was kinda confused on that since i saw a few threads from some users claiming to have 'fixed' it. I was really just looking for a way to have the battles be in true 16:9 that wasnt stretched but im guessing thats impossible.
