I know, what i mean is that there is no .ini file that you can edit with notepad i.e., game is launched using Setup.exe, its a 46Kb file that allows you to choose GFX (resolution, AA, AF etc...) and sound settings, before actually launching the game. Maybe the widescreen solution is in this file, idk.


Once you said you couldn't find it originally I assumed it would be in hex format somewhere.

Does the last modified date on the launcher change when you choose a different setting?

You could use a hex compare utility to find any differences.

Yeah, please make comparison between the files. Or try the disc version with d2d's mafia.exe and see if it helps.

So, have you managed to compare the files? You could use software like Beyond Compare (Free Trial) to compare and see what's the change or it just in EXE.

There is a 16:9 /16:10 widescreen fix posted in this thread, it may help the single monitor users :

No that doesn't help, I'm using Eyefinity setup and I'd like to play this gem after playing some Mafia 2. :) Could you do the comparison?

Eyefinity ? Mafia (digital version from D2D )supports surround / eyefinity resolutions, including a centralized HUD. :cheers

Already got it in shelf, so not interested to buy it again just for that. That's why I asked, that if you could compare the changes in file structure...
