Nutlink Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 Widescreen support was available in GRAW 1 (remember the WS bug?), and I can imagine this will most likely be supported in GRAW 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unwritt3n Posted February 8, 2007 Author Share Posted February 8, 2007 16:9 was 4:3 was 5:4 was 16:10 no :S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hockeystick Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 Yes it was. I play at 1280 x 800 @75 and if I remember correctly that's 16:10 ratio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nutlink Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 (edited) I play at 1680x1050 and nothing looks stretched at all to me. EDIT: After testing, I notice the game does support 16:10, however you have to have it set for "Auto" and at a 16:10 resolution, where as at 1680x1050 I can set the ratio to 16:9 (and get a wider view) if I wanted to. All these screenshots were taken using FRAPS at the 1680x1050 resolution using different aspect ratios.... 4:3 5:4 16:9 Auto (16:10 for this resolution) Edited February 8, 2007 by Nutlink Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's native reso is 1680x1050 so I am looking forward to playing GRAW and GRAW 2 on it. Death Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloooz07 Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 So do I have to force a 16:10 res through the XML? I have a 16:10 capable 22 inch LCD but I see no 16:10 resolutions in the the video options, only 16:9 even with the aspect ratio set to auto. Any help appreciated Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nutlink Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 I play the game at 1680x1050, which is automatically available in the game. Once you set it to that, set the Aspect Ration to "Auto" and voila! Everything is set right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloooz07 Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 (edited) the 16:10 reolutions are not in my list in the graphics options. I play other games at 1680x1050. admittedly I wouldnt be lookin to use that res with GRAW as my SLI 7600s would have a fit but I dont get the option of any lower 16:10 reolutions. dunno what the problenm is Edited February 13, 2007 by Bloooz07 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nutlink Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 (edited) Could be your monitor doesn't support it. For whatever reason, my monitor (ViewSonic VX2025WM) does not show 1440x900 at all. It only can do 1680x1050, 1280x1024, 1024x768, 800x600 and lower. Check your specs for your monitor EDIT: You can try and force the monitors resolution to something else. I don't remember how, but if you click on the Tweak Guides banner in my sig it'll take you to a site that has a GRAW tweak guide. Somewhere in there it'll tell you how to adjust the resolution in the .xml files. EDIT 2: If you give your monitor make and model number, I can try and find what official resolutions are supported for your monitor. They don't make it very easy to find, unfortunately.

Salden Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 I've been running at 1440x900 on my xerox XR6-19DW since release with no problems. That's 16x10. It doesn't seem to matter if I choose an aspect ratio from the video menu. Nothing is out of proportion, just a nice, wide field of view.

I have the same monitor. It DOES support 1440x900, it just doesn't show it. Google a program called PowerStrip, which allows you to add any custom resolution that you can think of.

Good then I am definitly buying it. How is the light bleeding? I heard that only in real dark or blacked out areas of a game will you see light bleeding. Thanks for your opinion though, it is appreciated. Death Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Death Unfortunately there is some slight light bleeding at the top and bottom which you will notice when/if the screen is black, but I can't say that it has bothered me. Two of us at GRiN ordered the 225BW as soon as it hit the market and none of us have any complaints. At least, I've never heard anyone of us complain, and I hear myself all the time.

scott_dft Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 Thanks Nutlink for the screenshots. When I changed my ATI X600 for a X1950 last month I was finally able to move off 800x600 and set the res. to auto, which I assumed gave me 1440x900 for my Viewsonic 19" WS. Sounds like my assumption was right, good. Does the extra width ever give any advantage? Anyone ever complained in multiplayer about players playing in WS? Or is it just cosmetic so things don't get stretched in wide screen monitors. Any gaming nutter out there got a bank of three monitors demanding a patch to play with full wrap-round vision ...
