I tried the widescreen fix and this was my experience:

@Damni it works (play around with your scaling settings if it don't) and it is nice to have it full screen without stretching the image. However, there seems to be a sort off "fish eye lens" effect I am not sure I like, it is more noticeable on open maps than in enclosed maps like buildings.. Also, the scope on rifles is different because you lose the "tunnel vision" and can still see around you. Some may like that because it gives you an advantage and more peripheral awareness (cheat?) while aiming scoped but kills immersion a bit.

We also have the VooDoo3D solution which I used before. Also makes the game full screen and with higher resolutions but stretches the images. But other than that it does not distort anything like the widescreen fix does. The widescreen fix makes the main menu a bit torn up making it harder to replace uniforms and such, also some camera angles you can watch before entering a map are screwed up. No game breakers, we are just still waiting on the perfect solution :)

The Voodoo3D solution can be downloaded here in our files section.

Trust is hard to gain but easy to lose.

Some examples:

Scoped rifle:


Looking through tank barrel scope:


Does this tank look a little short to you? Or did I just get used to the stretched image?


Fish-eye effect you sometimes see in pre-mission camera angles and sometimes in wider maps:


Distorted pre-mission camera angle:

In my situation I do not have such problems lol :confused:
How come my game work fine with this fix and yours has that fish eye or something and fpv messing up
:sos:
No fish eye (had to lower res of all my screens cus of that 1mb limit and my pics were 1.3mb - 1.5mb... only garand screen managed to slip through)

No distorted view in fpv for me (checked all camera angles)

Scope is fine and so is the tank view (no tank screen but confirmed cus played some single today)

Here's some aiming down sights with my custom garand no problems at all

That is interesting. Maybe because I had the voodoo solution installed before, even if I removed all those files.
I will do a new install of the game and see if that changes anything.

The RPR Clan gaming community has long been known to fans of action battles and online battles. Fans of dynamic games gather here to share their experiences, participate in competitions, and enjoy the atmosphere of teamwork. Every evening, players from different countries can be found on the server, which makes the process even more interesting and unpredictable. Interestingly, gaming often intersects with other areas of entertainment. For example, in the world of casinos, special attention is paid not only to the thrill of gambling, but also to the design of the venues, where every detail creates a unique atmosphere. In this regard, it is worth paying attention to the article on how the world's most impressive casinos are created and what elements allow them to make such a strong impression on visitors — ahouseinthehills.com. The article reveals architectural solutions, gaming spaces, and aesthetic approaches that can surprise even those who are far from the gambling industry. Thus, both the esports community and the casino world share a common idea: to create a space where people can fully immerse themselves in the atmosphere, feel the thrill, and experience vivid emotions. RPR Clan gives this to its players through online battles, and the world's best casinos do so through their unique design and atmosphere.
