have you tried setting your fov to the appropiate value? Newer games use vertical based fov settings, so you see more on the edge like you should, ET however, doesn't.
so u think its better to play with 1680x1050 r_mode -1 60hz, than 1280x1024 r_mode 8, 75hz...i know that hz doesnt matter that much but still...and there is some weird thing when I have 1680x1050, when i'm shooting at enemy, i see some kind of grey color, like a lil bit of smoke...although i think it's textures...dunno. could u send me ur graph settings for 1680x1050 res @pm
and btw...I have fov changer for 105 and 90, and with this calculator it gives 114 and 100 . shall i just convert 105 since i'm using it most of the time and keep 90, or convert both
i have Samsung Syncmaster 226bw 22" Widescreen which is 16:10 aspect ratio
and i use 1280x1024 cuz i cant see as much with widescreen resolution and it kinda feels wierd.
that tool calculates so that you have the exact same vertical fov, eg, it's the exact same as your old resolution, just with a little more on the sides
newer games, eg cod2, do it automatically... ET doesn't however.
what i tried to explain was:
the same stuff gets shown (it stretches) but i was talking about having a widescreen cfg and showing that on a normal screen.
it will get pressed together so a widescreen shows the same but 'bigger'
I use r_customheight 1024 and r_customwidth 1600. I used to use r_mode 6 but everything seemed too "squashed". When I changed to those custom settings, it felt a bit better.
fuck you. i win. IT WOULDNT BE THE 95FOV!!! i should need to make new configs. SO I WIN!!=!==!!=! i cant get as less visible with notwidescreen as i can with widescreen. pwnt
I'didnt as you if it rox or sux, I asked guys who _have_ them to post their resolutions, if you don't have anything to say about related topic rather shut up.
I'm actually have problems with my config at the moment setting a custom resolution. When I put it in my config, it just fucks up, closes ET and brings up the ET console. If I do it in game, it's fine and nothing fucks up.
ingame also 1680x1050
i have never enjoyed playing et more since i have this laptop.
everything else feels weird.
i'll upload a screenshot of my game
edit:
here's the screenshot (for some reason my gamma is darker then normal when i take screenshots, so imagine this, but lighter :] )
it's fov 110
specs @ profile ;]

I used fov 90 @ crt, which converts to fov 100.39487232 @ 1680x1050.

fov 100 (= 90 at 4:3)

just check the top and bottom and youll see.
the same amount of information is shown, but with a widescreen it has a larger display-area
compare it to a fictive 1x1 resolution. the same amount of info would be shown, but it would get jammed together in a much smaller area.

I have a Samsung 226BW.
and disproportionate image isn't that bad too, u need just to get used to it
Blame Carmack for creating the Q3 engine with horizontal fov instead of vertical fov, but it's right. You didn't win, sorry mate.

Good luck arguing against that...
OR WHAT IF I USE 120FOV!
one of the tabs should say the properties of your screen
Weird shits.
