Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine (also known as WH40k: Space Marine) is a third-person action video game developed by Relic Entertainment and published by THQ. The gameplay experience focuses on a hybrid shooting and melee combat model.

As a Space Marine, you are given enhanced regenerative abilities and an Iron Halo shield. When health gets low, performing sync kills can allow Titus to get a portion of his health back. You are accompanied by Sidonus and Leandros for most of the missions, though in some instances you will have to go on solo missions.

Solutions & Issues

Baseline (Widescreen) Solution & Issues

Alternative FOV option here.

Ultra/Super-Wide (21:9/32:9) Specific Solution & Issues

The real-time cutscenes are simuntaneously vert- and pillarboxed, while the HUD is stretched.

Flawless Widescreen allows to correct the FOV and remove the black bars from the cutscenes.

As of 2024, the fix is de facto incompatible with Steam, reportedly triggering the DRM and causing the game to crash at the cutscenes (e.g. the one after interacting with the first turret early on). The GOG version is not affected, as it's DRM-free.

Eyefinity / Surround Specific Solution & Issues

Same issues and solution as for ultra-wide.
