Widescreen Gaming Forum

That FMV appeared when I clicked on "start game." It's the one where this disembodied voice says stuff like "Maximum Speed" and "Maximum Armor" as the protagonist shows off his abilities.

Getting matching shots in that FMV was an absolute bitch.

I could only imagine. :(
Whoever agrees to ban FMV's from this day forward say I!

Yes I have all the usual widescreen resolutions available in windows. I'm running vista home prem 64-bit with the 7.10 64-bit catalyst drivers. I haven't tried any other games since I reinstalled vista and the crysis demo but I'll try a different game tonight.

Notice that danylati has the same graphics card as me so it could be an HD2900XT related issue.

Hey, everybody.

I have the same problem as mattdasplat and danylati. Only 1680x1050 shows up in the game and using the command line trick doesn't work either.
Tried editing "game.cfg" in /My Documents/My Games/Crysis but the game re-generates it back into whatever rez. it ran at. Making the file read-only just stops the game from re-generating it, but the rez. remains unchanged.

LE: Okay, i got it. To make the game display the rez i wanted (1280x800), i went into the Nvidia Control Panel, under Custom Resolutions, and added 1280x800. And voila, 1280x800 shows up in the game. Problem solved (in my case, at least)

a bird told me on IRC that the retail vers FMV for the tutorials are vert-

Anonymous tips are inadmissible as evidence. So is info obtained illegally.

I dont know how about vista, but to get lower 16:10 resolutions in crysis on XP you need to add them manually them in the nvidia control panel:

So is this Certified?

Only if someone with a full and legal version of the game has played through an appreciable portion of the game and can claim there are no miscellaneous flaws in it.

I have finished it, and while not in widescreen but triplehead, I didn't see anything wrong. Cutscenes are all running on the game engine, and I see loads extra, but the cinematic black bars only go so far.
