Anyone have Need for Speed:Most wanted and if so can you play in widescreen res.?

post #1 of 10
Thread Starter 
I have need for speed most wanted and I can't figure out if there is a widescreen resolution.
I am playing at 1028x768 res (can't be described) and I hate it.
Anyone have any ideas on playing on widescreen?

I refused to believe that ea wouldn't put a freaking widescreen option in the damn game lol.

I don't think its possible......the demo for some reason doesn't run or runs very bad on my i9300.

the demo is a given since it's a demo...
but the actual game doesn't seem to have a widescreen option.
anyone have any ideas around this?

Believe it. EA are shocking with their games.

Here is a workaround - not the best, but it's a solution.

the "solution" only worked for demo since it requires an unprotected exe, but the full game is not cracked yet. so there's no way to play in widescreen resolution right now. btw, the performance of the game is questionable once you start to increase the resolution.

i can run the demo fine at 1440x900 using the patcher...
so i can probably run the retail fine at the same res...
this is ridiculous how there is no widescreen option for this game...
i believe they have it for the xbox360, else it would be a waste to develop it for it lol...

ea is indeed putting more time in 360 version than anything else. it has real hdr instead of the overbright you see in pc version.

couldnt they just port everything from the xbox360 edition to pc lol?

the full game just got cracked but still not sure if widescreen can be hacked in.

i switched to my big 4:3 TV via s-video, it's now a much better expierence with the hood view, and performance is great @ 1024x768, no slowdown at all.

dinkenstein,
Do you know where I can find a NO-CD exe? I hate lugging those CDs with me for gaming on the road.
