Hi all.
i run the fix on widescreen but i dont get any stretching at all - strange. i dont know what could be causing it, the fix works fine on mine.
one tip tho. when i enabled the fix at my screens native resolution there was a problem which made the fix largely worthless: the textures within the border of a shape were greatly enhanced, at the cost of the edges being horribly jagged, despite AA being turned up full on my graphics card; also, the rigging on ships looked horrible.
i was not happy with this trade off and almost dumped the fix, but then decided to try this: instead of configuring it to run at full resolution, i checked the next biggest widescreen ratio supported by my graphics card; so, ive now got the fix set to run at 1440x900 on my 1680x1050 screen. this is a trade off i am happy with: textures have been improved and i have nice smooth edges - sweet! what im gonna try next is gradually increasing the res used by the fix (whilst maintaining the 16:10 ratio) to see if i can find the best combination of texture and smooth edges.
i was a bit underwhelmed by the fix at first, but now i reckon that, if u have a big monitor, you should try it
