Widescreen Problem

[Speedcat]

Hey guys/girls.. ive got a problem... -.-

I just bought a new TFT, 22" widescreen because my old one is "damage"
I thought it would be cool to play on widescreen with high solution, but now my UT-Screen looks like a Lego-World

Like the window in the corner where u can see your teammates... its so fucking big. Or when i press F2 to read chatlog... Fonts are fucking big too... :(
I allready play on the highes solution 1680x1050
Everything looks so big now... Even when im in third person, my ass looks like a tankship -.-

speed

I don't have a widescreen TFT so I can't try it myself, but maybe this helps: http://www.widescreengamer.com/u/unreal_tournament_2004.html

1 great tip speed:

Use Xfire !!!!!!!

Sorry Speedy, made a mistake: U have to increase fov to 100 !

Btw u lazy fuck, google: ut2004 widescreen and click on first result:

Run the game once, and open the ut2004.ini file in a text editor, and find the following lines:
FullscreenViewportX=
FullscreenViewportY=

Set these to your desired resolution. On a Dell 2005FPW, this would be 1680 and 1050.
Now open the file user.ini in a text editor, and find the following lines:
DesiredFOV=
DefaultFOV=

Set these to 100 (default is 90 with a 4:3 resolution)
This solution should work on most games based on the Unreal Tournament engines. The file names may be different, but the strings should always be the same.

ehm... ye... thats the same what Lane just post before ;) but thx^^

Have u changed the setting to 1680 x 1050 , in game, not just windows, is doesn't look like u have....but, that might be because ive scaled my hud :-)
Im on 22 inch same rez :-)

User.ini,
