Anyone has tested the widescreen solution with a program called dgVoodoo?
If not you may give it a try. DanJirasek wrote a small manual.
I did not get it working, as soon as i start the game it crashes..

Instructions

*Widescreen support for H&D 2* Windows XP, 7, 10

[Stretched, no Black Bars, clear screen resolution, Full HD game experience]



Download the "dgVoodoo v2.53" a rar file above and read more in this an manual below


Step 1: Extract a downloaded RAR Files into your desktop [by using a "WinRAR" program for example]

Step 2: Copy (ONLY) the dll's files from the "MS" folder into the game folder (default installation directory) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Illusion Softworks\Hidden & Dangerous 2"

Step 3: Start the "dgVoodooSetup", and set up your ideal optional performance for running your game e.g. in 1920 x 1080 with a 16:9 aspect ratio

Step 4: Click "Apply" for confirming the maked changes. Exit and let your whole dgVoodoo v2.53" folder with files (+"dgVoodooSetup") in your files on a computer, at desktop e.g.

Step 5: Close all programs, restart PC, run your game as an administrator and your new resolution should be working.

+ I did include screenshots of my personal arrangement from "dgVoodoo and game H&D2 "setup" for reference. Look for more in folder at Google Drive #"Personal arrangement (for reference)"

+ (You don't have to repeat these steps anytime you start HD2)

This is perfect, tho when I put these dll files, H&D2 just won't start :sylvester:
I guess, goodbye HD experience ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I had this voodoo some time ago, then suddenly game just got messed up
and didn't want to start so removed these dlls :calimero:
I don't know, maybe I need to remove previous saved
settings somewhere on disk?
:leave:

This program allows you to change the resolution to something higher than the game itself provides. I now have it in 1920x1080 and in widescreen, looks good with the higher resolution. Just a pity it's stretched.

as soon as i have the 3 dll's in my HD2 directory the game does not launch anymore. No matter what setting i choose in Voodoo.
Maybe it's because i have installed both HD2 versions, gog.com and with original disks?

However, as it works for most users i'll add the instructions to the FAQ page.

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.
