Widescreen Gaming Forum

Unfortunately it only allows you to select widescreen resolutions if it detects your monitor as supporting them. I'm not sure why, but it does not detect my monitor (2005fpw) so the best I get is 1024x768. I have my monitor drivers installed (as well as all other drivers updated). I couldn't find any solutions to this on the official forums (though I did find people with the same problem), anyone else have an idea?

Though you can get around this by editing Options.txt in your C:Documents and Settings[your username]Application DataAtariRCT3 folder, and adding the line Resolution X Y, replacing X with desired width and Y with height. I still wonder why it does not detect my monitor properly.

Glad to know the old options file fix works as a work-around for you. Pre-Soaked, it used to stretch the screen.

Well to be honest I'm not entirely sure that it's not stretching. It's sort of hard to tell with this type of game, for me. And I haven't spent a lot of time with it. Just another reason I want the menu to show the right resolutions.

I can't say for certain on what it does using the file hack, but I did take pics of the widescreen modes with Soaked, and it's not stretched there.

Ok, after taking a couple screenshots, changing the config file appears to just cut off the top and bottom with Soaked, rather than stretching. No way for me to test if widescreen resolutions from the menu do the same.
