Unreal Tournament 2004 Widescreen Support

[Christopher]

I have just bought a new big LCD monitor and I wanted to know if I can play the UT2K4 in a resolution of 1280 x 768. I have searched for the option of full screen but that is not working. I am not able to see the mouse pointer where it goes if I want to select any options in the game. Thank you

WSTE_M created a handy guide to do all things for widescreen, in it you will find the following:

Doom 3
hold down command buttom while launching game, and select desired resolution

and in the comments this:

edit the UT2004.ini file located at:

~/library/application support/Unreal Tournament 2004/System/UT2004.ini

And under the section [SDLDrv.SDLClient], edit the FullscreenViewportX and FullscreenViewportY settings to match his resolution, and it ran with no problems. This may also work with UT2003, but I haven't tested it.

You may find that you can select your resolution and adjust the FOV to your preference (up to 100) via the ingame menu. If your desired resolution is not available, or if you want an FOV above 100 (recommended for 16:9 displays), keep reading. Otherwise, you can skip this section.

Go to <gameDir>\system. Open ut2004.ini. Find these lines:

FullscreenViewportX=xxxx
FullscreenViewportY=xxx

Change them to set your resolution.

Now open user.ini. Find these lines:

DesiredFOV=90.000000
DefaultFOV=90.000000

Change the values to set your FOV to your preference. I recommend 100 for 16:10 displays, and 105 for 16:9 displays. Unlike UT2003, the game will not revert high FOV values back to 100.

Since it uses the Unreal engine, you can manually change the config files to force just about any resolution you want.

From tigerdave.com:

Unreal Tournament 2004 supports native custom resolutions just like UT2003 above. Simply edit the ut2004.ini file in the system folder, look for the section below and edit accordingly:

[WinDrv.WindowsClient]
FullscreenViewportX = 1776
FullscreenViewportY = 1000
MenuViewportX = 1776
MenuViewportY = 1000

Also, you may want to edit the user.ini file and change the FOV (field of view) from to 106 since it is now in widescreen.
