The game was only released in Russia so I dont expect many people on here to have it.
Please let me know if theres any other files I could post here to help with a fix.
Its 14Gb so I dont expect anyone to just download it just to fix for me either...

It never made international release so they didnt bother with English.
But there was hidden english files within the game so it can be patched to english.

Your screenshots are obviously 16:9 stretched... Resize to 533x300 and see for yourself.
Those ini files are useless imho; you have to find where the res & AR settings are stored. Then maybe you can mod the 16:9 AR to 48:10. Then you'll have to find a way to correct the FOV...

FYI Xenus 2 aka White Gold aka Boiling Point 2 probably uses the same engine. Maybe you'll find some help on the official forum...

Edit: hmm, it seems anyone can buy & download these games on Yuplay.ru... Same company that handles Wings of Prey's activation/updates. Legit and truly dirt cheap. Sounds good to me.

Considering this game is now available at GamerGate in English and this hasn't been answered yet i'd thought i'd post this for posterity.

Start the game and make sure the aspect ratio is set to "Auto"
Then
Open your "My Documents" or "Documents" folder and find "Precursors", open it then the "ini" folder and edit the "videooptions.ini" file.
Look for the line "Monitor_AspectRatio=" and change it to 4.8
Your done.

The Main menu, HUD and game world look fine at 5760x1200 however the inventory, character screen etc are all stretched and the sniper scope appears on each monitor, still usable though.
