AquaNox

The water is no longer calm. The undersea world has undergone a transformation from tranquil environment to a place of unspeakable violence, graphic murder and horrific danger. It is now the 27th century and mercenaries such as 'Emerald' Dead Eye Flint ply their deadly trade among the warring forces of man and nature.

Solutions & Issues

Baseline (Widescreen) Solution & Issues

The Game only supports 4:3 aspect ratio - you need to Hex edit or use CheatEngine to get it HOR+.

I hex edit the GOG Files for 16:10 / 16:9 / 21:9 and 3x16:9

Just exchange the Aqua.exe and choose your des. resolution - see AquaNox - GOG Widescreen.7z files available on PC Gaming Wiki. (This Fix works only on the Retail or GOG Version)

For the Steam Version you need to use the CheatEngine Hack files available from the PC Gaming Wiki Community Files (search there) - AquaNox - Steam Widescreen.7z.

Ultra/Super-Wide (21:9/32:9) Specific Solution & Issues

Use the related PCGW community tool as a workaround.

Eyefinity / Surround Specific Solution & Issues

Same Solution as in Widescreen.

Issues: Weapon stretches incorrectly.

4k UHD Specific Solution & Issues

Same Solution as in Widescreen.
