Widescreen resolution

Using a non 4:3 resolution will cause stretching.
Widescreen resolutions cannot be set in-game. You must do it through the Registry.
Make sure you use decimal numbers in Registry instead of hexadecimal ones when changing values.
Set video mode via Registry
  1. Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\City Interactive\tt_en\V4D Direct3D Renderer.
  2. Change Width and Height to the desired resolution, ColorBits to the bit depth to use, and Frequency to use a custom refresh frequency (0 for default).
