Gaming Widescreen Fixer - ratio & resolution

There are many games that do not support widescreen properly. These games usually let you set a widescreen resolution, but do not adjust the field of view (FOV) accordingly. This causes the top and bottom of the screen to be cropped. Because of this issue, blooguard decided to develop a program that will adjust the field of view for the aspect ratio of your monitor.

1280x960 - Fix disabled 1536x960 - Fix enabled

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 with 3 monitors. The aspect ratio and HUD are corrected.

These games are currently supported:

Battlefield 2
Battlefield 2142
BioShock
Call of Duty 2
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
Call of Duty: World at War
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
Darkest of Days Demo
SEGA Rally Revo
Unreal Tournament
Wolfenstein

In Battlefield, you will notice a slight change when you zoom in or out with weapons.
If you use Microsoft Windows Vista, you need to have either UAC disabled or run the program as administrator.
If you're having problems with any of the Battlefield games, reapply the latest patch and see if it helps.

Widescreen Fixer v1.65.0. Updated for latest MW2 and Wolfenstein.

# Usage

Just extract the zip, place the program file anywhere you want and run it. You may start the program at any time, whether the game is already running or not.

To use this program:
For Battlefield 2 and Battlefield 2142, edit the shortcut and add: +widescreen 1 +szx 1920 +szy 1200 (or whichever widescreen resolution you use).

Start Widescreen Fixer.
Select the game you will be playing.
Select the aspect ratio of your monitor.
Start the specific game.
Use the Numpad * (v1.00 to v1.06), Right Control (v1.10), or ; (Semi-Colon) (v1.10.1 to v1.65.0) key to enable or disable the fix.

The update rate slider is in milliseconds. Set this to a low value for games like Battlefield 2 and Battlefield 2142 (Old Method). For the other games, it is safer to set the slider to 250ms to 500ms as it doesn't need to update so much.
