Widescreen resolution

The game does not automatically adjust the aspect ratio to match widescreen resolutions. Certain cvars may be set to fix this. They can be found in the config file in the game's Main folder:

• r_mode -1 sets the display mode to the custom resolution specified by the following cvars.
• r_customwidth, r_customheight set the custom display mode.
• r_customaspect sets the aspect ratio for the 3D scene (not the HUD or menus!). Set this to the horizontal screen ratio (i.e. for 16:10, set this to 1.6)
