Widescreen support?

Just bought this today in UK and noticed the game boots what looks like widescreen but when its menu it only has options for 4:3 so is this game 4:3 only or am I missing something?

What resolution specifically are you looking to run it in? The options it gives are based on what your machine reports as available at or above the minimum AFAIK. I get both 1680x1050 and 1440x900 as options on mine.

Was looking for 720p ie 1280x720 but its missing.  I did think it could be the television (as running PC thru a Sony X thru vga but that does everything up to 1360x768 which is what I normally run games at for widescreen if they can cope or drop down to 720p for more higher options) but it would only show 4:3 modes.

 

Ive reinstalled it again and did the patch straight away and now I get a 1024x768, 1280x768 but finally the one I want is up for widescreen 1360x768.

 

For reference Im using latest Nvidia drivers (May 5th ones) and using 2 SLI 260s and 2.67 DC intel with 2gig ram and vista OS.

 

I dont get any problem with 720p on other stuff though like COH, Crysis,DOW2, Empire TW etc.. so its odd that I cant select 720p on this.

 

Weirdly I get the exact same problem on SC.  Ive gone down the route before of trying HDMI to DVI but that causes an offset as that was the only way 720p would show.  Runs fine at 1360x768 though so went back to that.  Isnt their a way we can pull down or force an option via command?

Demigod's minimum vertical res is 768px. But as most 720p LCDs actually have a native res of 1366x768 anyway, that's probably best if you're using VGA or HDMI--no need to scale it if you can run 1:1.
