User Badges in the WSGF Forums

BadgesWe are pleased to announce that we now have user badges (AMD Eyefinity, NVIDIA Surround, S-3D, 21:9, and more) in the WSGF forum, which you can assign to yourself. This has been a long time coming, and something that we've wanted since the last time we were on phpBB. Problem is that phpBB doesn't natively support this behavior.

Luckily our faithful admin Delphium has kicked phpBB in bollocks and made it do what we wanted (and what it should have done in the first place). Click here for more details and to see how to add your badges. We're looking to add new badges as well. Be sure to add your suggestions to the discussion.


WSGF Interviewed by PC Gaming Wiki

Recently our friends at PC Gaming Wiki asked us if we would like to be interviewed. We were thrilled and honored, and jumped at the chance. You can read the whole thing here. Feel free to comment there, or here. And feel free to jump over to the Reddit post, so you can comment there.


Lobbying for Modern Display Support in Homeworld

As you may have heard, Gearbox Software purchased the Homeworld franchise IP from the new defunct THQ. In a news recent news post THQ outlined their plans to "preserve and assemble the purest form of the original acclaimed and beloved games." They also state that they will make the games available on the "leading digital platforms". I'm guessing this means GOG and Steam.

THQ has invited gamers to visit the Gearbox Software Forums and let them know what you'd like to see done with the franchise. Based on our current research, widescreen support in Homeworld can be achieved by a Registry edit; both widescreen and multi-monitor support in Homeworld 2 are achieved by an .ini edit.

I've started a thread in the Gearbox Software Forums about native support for widescreen, multi-mon and 21:9. Please jump in and lend your support.
