Warnings
Warhammer 40,000: Fire Warrior is a singleplayer and multiplayer first-person FPS game in the Warhammer 40,000 series.

Availability
Essential improvements
Sui's fix
- A simple wrapper made to simplify running the game on widescreen monitors.
- Fire Warrior is stretched when using a non-4:3 resolution. Sui's fix compensates by increasing the FOV, though the image will still be somewhat stretched and distorted. The WSGF.com solution provides a more accurate image, but requires a hex editor.

Notes

Custom configuration file by MandaloreGaming
A custom configuration file created by MandaloreGaming for his Warhammer 40K: Fire Warrior Review video. It runs the game at 1080p and fixes audio crackling issues (at the cost of lost audio effects).
A download link and installation details can be found in the Files section.
