Widescreen Gaming Forum

Shame about the map for TH users... rest of it looks great.

This game was bashed a lot in reviews but I really enjoy it. I suggest turning off the GPS and just cruising, taking in the rather unique atmosphere.

Grade: B+
Non-native and flawed surround support is a blemish.
(normally, registry diving would get a game C for widescreen - consensus has been that widescreen consequential flaws and worse should be treated as blemishes if they only affect surround)

CCE: 100%

And what if I don't have VideoResolution value in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftwareFuel?
Do I have to create it? And if so what type it must be REG_SZ, REG_BINARY, REG_DWORD, REG_MULTI_SZ, REG_EXPAND_SZ?

P.S.: I try to do REG_SZ type rey and add 41a13b0 and nothing changed! My max res is 1680x1050 and no 5040x1050 in video options to set!
P.P.S.: In reg dir I have only GamePath, InstanceGUID, UserLanguage but no Video resolution :(

Max, I *assumed* HKLM/Software/Fuel was the spot in XP, but it's not. For once the reg path is the same as in Vista, so check HKCU/Software/Fuel instead. Sorry about that ! (DR corrected accordingly.)

Oh that's OK now! THX for hint! Finnafy FUEL is running in 5040x1050 resolution! :D

No it's not OK :( It worked only first time. But when I run game at secind day - it tern back to 1680x1050 res. I checked VideoResolution in regedit - it was back to default.

So now the problem is that when I enter 41a13b0 value and run the game - it runs in standart 1680x1050 res, when I quit the game and check RideoResolution in regconfig it back yo default all the time :evil: How can I fix it? And why first time all was OK?(((

Try this : edit VideoResolution in the registry, then run the launcher : Program FilesCodemastersFuelGameSetup.exe. In Video Options, the Resolution field should be blank. If it is not, double-check the registry - 41a0690 (1680x1050) looks a lot like 41a13b0 (5040x1050) ;)

I tried it allready :( No result.
First I enter 41a13b0 in VideoResolution reg, than open GameSetup and check Options... no blanck field - under video res is 1680x1050. After that I entered reg one more time and find there VideoResolution value back to default. And this is even without running the game :evil:
Help PLZ :(

Okay, I have bad news : the registry edit doesn't work in XP. You cannot play Fuel in 5040x1050 or any Surround resolution in XP, because the VideoResolution won't stick. This is a blow. :evil:
Sorry again for the waste of your time - and thanks for the heads-up. I'll check the other reg values for differences between XP and Vista, but don't hold your breath.

DR updated... again.
