Is there anyway I could get a step by step guide on how to use the widescreen fixer?
As of now I set drop down bar to 3 x 16:9 ( I have 3 1920x1080 16:9 monitors) and
select Call of Duty: Black Ops MP v1.0. When I start up the game and click my hotkey
the aspect ratio changes and the game stretched across the screens. The problem is
when I go into the game's video settings I can only select up to 5040x1200, which seems
especially strange since the second number isn't even at 1080. I had this exact problem
with call of duty 4:modern warfare and am desperately looking for help or some kind of a
fix. What the hell am I doing wrong?

I'm trying this right now and I still can't go over that lower resolution, I really think I'm doing something wrong. What could be causing this? Possible fixes?

Open the config.cfg file then change the line



to whatever your resolution is.

Widescreen Fixer doesn't alter your resolution or affect how your resolution is selected. That would be the game itself not displaying the choice of resolutions correctly.

You can set it via the config file above or, at least in MP (I haven't found a way to use the console in SP), you can use the console to set a custom resolution. Look at r_mode or r_custom*

So if I won't be able to select 6050x1080 in the game's menu, what resolution do I want it set to? And how does the widescreen fixer program know what resolution to use? or does it just triple the current resolution? (In which case I can't select 1920x1080 with surround enabled, only with it off)

If a pre-existing aspect-ratio does not exist, you can set it to Custom and then type in either an aspect-ratio or resolution in the two boxes next to it.

I'm disappointed that once again, Activision did not fix the resolution problem in the game. I have never been able to get the any of the resolution fixes to work.

Whoever does the game fixes, I really appreciate all the work but I am sure many would really appreciate it if they did a detailed step by step description of how to install it for people who are not computer experts.

In fact, I would pay someone to fix it.

Any idea why so many game manufacturers do not seem interested in supporting Eyefinity?

[quote][quote]EDIT: This question was brought up in a different forum, but how does using a fixer like this affect VAC bans in MP? Anyone have any experience with players being banned from MW2 for using the widescreen fixer?

I never got VAC'd for using it in MW2

But YMMV.

The fixer is a hack, by definition alone its a breach of the TnC of the MP, you would need to ask Activision as to if they will allow it or not, until they give an official word use it at your own risk.

Activision didn't know. I just got off the phone with them. They said contact steam which I believe steam will not give a definitive answer on it because it's a 3rd party Program. Why can't someone just have a solid yes or no answer It's so frustrating

Also remember that MW2 etc used PunkBuster (which was OK'd quasi-officially) not VAC> So this is a whole new ball game for WSF

Also cheers DopeFish :)

This is sweet and all, but what would be amazing is if you found a way to center the HUD on the center screen.

If you use Widescreen Fixer the HUD will be centered.
