Widescreen Gaming Forum

any solutions yet?

still no solution ?

It sounds like you have to go back to the 1.3 patch. Is there any way to still get it?

1.3 Patch

Can apparently be downloaded from here. Most other places only have the 1.4 patch.

However, you can't go back in the patches - you've got to uninstall the game and go again from scratch...

trouble is here I'm trying playing WinterAssault and it automaticcaly updates to 1.4 ... In 1280x768, my 2005FPW do receive a signal in DVI @ 1280x768 ... but the game is nicely rendered centered in 1024x768.

I don't know if this is done on purpose but it might be to prevent wide screen user from cheating (we do see more of the battlefield). I don't have 1.4 release notes so I don't know if this is part of the release.

Yeah - but the 1.4 patch made widescreen support official rather than by an edit, and they broke it! Whether accidentally or deliberately, I don't know.

Until patch 1.5, we probably won't find out, either...

1.3 Patch

Can apparently be downloaded from here. Most other places only have the 1.4 patch.

However, you can't go back in the patches - you've got to uninstall the game and go again from scratch...

I've downloaded the patch, just in case we need to host it in the future. Were there any "real" bugs that were in 1.3, that were fixed in 1.4 ?

I don't know, all I know is that I want to play this game in 1680x1050!

1.4 release notes. Nothing fixed, just game balance and graphic options.
