I must say the game's widescreen behaviour could be "stretch, based on 16:10". Get the game and see for yourselves : 2D looks good in 16:10 and 3D feels oddly narrow in 4:3. Since the game is so lightweight, aimed at casual gamers and based on online competition (i.e everybody "should have" the same FOV), I wouldn't be surprised if the devs chose '16:10 + stretch' as the better compromise. With only one track atm and few objects to compare, it's hard to be sure when you play the game - which might be exactly what the devs wanted. :? :lol:

Have you tried changing your desktop resolution to match the AR in-game? It seems this is inheriting the AR from the desktop res like Far Cry 2, as 16:10 does look correct.

The HUD pics have circles. They look proper in 16:10. Someone could also check the sponsor logos in real life to compare dimensions.

Woops, you're right. :oops: The game is strictly Hor+ then ! Will correct/update DR as time permits.

Edit: well, time permitted. My epic fail is now history and the DR is ready for crankyzation.
