Widescreen resolution

Set widescreen resolution by modifying hex values
Open graphics.cfg with a hex editor such as HxD or wxHexEditor. Convert your desired resolution to hexadecimal, 1920 x 1080 would be 07 80 and 04 38. Reverse the beginnings of the values so it would look like 08 07 and 38 04. Insert the values at decimal offset 00 and 04, the beginning of the file will look like this 80 07 00 00 38 04. Save the file and launch the game.
