Widescreen Support

Method

Go to <gameDir>\Main. Edit config.cfg (preferably with textpad and edit these lines:

seta cg_fov "xx"
Set this according to your preference. I recommend 90 for 16:10 resolutions and 95 for 16:9 resolutions.

seta r_customheight "xxx"
seta r_customwidth "xxxx"
Set this to your favorite widescreen resolution. Be careful not to confuse the 'height' and 'width'.

seta r_mode "x"
Set this to -1.

Do the same for config_mp.cfg, but skip the cg_fov par
