Spec Ops The Line 2012 Manual PLP Instructions

Game looks basically perfect. FOV looks proper; weapons, aim & reticles proper (latter nearly always *). Menu, text, HUD look proper (latter's element-positions spanning full width). Rendered cutscenes full hor+, FMV & loading screens pillarboxed.

1. SoftTH (fullscreen, DX9 x86).
2. Flawless Widescreen:
A. Enable plugin, checkmark FOV Fix & Aspect Ratio Fix. But leave FOV slider 0 (it's offset, zero likely proper FOV).
B. Go to menu Settings, Configuration, Display Detection. Checkmark Enable Detection Override; enter Width & Height (fullscreen PLP), HUD W&H (center's size), HUDX (side width), HUDY zero. Save Changes.
3. In-game select massive resolution.
