Method

The game natively supports widescreen resolutions and is Hor + after the 1.1 patch is installed. There is a "Horizontal FOV Lock" toggle in the game-options menu. Some users have reported that enabling this selection makes the screen Hor + while others have reported that disabling this selection changes the screen to the Hor + view. Check the toggle in-game to see which one works for your system.
