Widescreen and 4K UI fix
« on: December 18, 2016, 09:28:07 AM »
Tired of bot pic sticking out of the bottom when running game in widescreen?
Or not being able to use the whole chassis blueprint?

Presenting, the Widescreen UI fix

RA2 totally craps out when running it in higher resolution than 2048x1536?
Status indicators placed totally wonky, making match recording look like sh**?

Fixed that for you. 4K UI fix
Be prepared for squinting a lot.

Also fixed Interface to be usable for both High-res splashes and building

Thanks Apanx!

Even if I'm the only person playing RA2 at 4k right now, I'm sure that this will be helpful for others in the future, when 4k becomes more mainstream
also lol at most toxic guy around calling others out on this sh**

Works a treat. No more sh**ty 4:3 aspect ratio for me.

Hi,
So I downloaded this and extracted it exactly where it said. Also made sure that "overwrite all files" was selected. However I haven't noticed a change, a new setting in the options tab, nothing. I'm looking for assistance pls  :ermm:

This doesn't give you more settings. You have to set resolution manually through editing the RA2.cfg file
