This is quick hack orignally for own use. Game will crash if display not support resolution, (game default to 1024x768, you should set resolution with original exe first then overwrite with hacked exe). Is simple enough to hexedit own resolution in. Appear correct aspect ratio.

Hello

Thanks for the solution pszjpn900 :rockout , for me that's work very good in 1920*1200, i have changed the 1600*1200 line.

For Kroeter, i explain the procedure.
- Download a software like XVI32, Hex Editor, here
- Download the official "alternative Executable" here
- Move ColdFear_Retail.exe in the Cold Fear folder
- Launch the game and in the graphics options select 1600*1200
- Open ColdFear_Retail.exe with XVI32.exe
- Go to Search --> Find, select "Hex string" and write "40 06 00 00 BF B0 04" and "OK"
- In the principal window, "40 06" is for 1600 in hex, replace it by "90 06" for 1680
- "B0 04" is for 1200 in hex, replace it by "1A 04" for 1050
- Now you have the Line "90 06 00 00 BF 1A 04" for 1680*1050 (for 1920*1200 that's "80 07 00 00 BF B0 04")
- Save this modified file in Cold Fear folder, keep a copy of original ColdFear_Retail.exe in case of problem
- Launch the game and now the game is in 1680*1050

Voila, and sorry for my english.
