Thank you. I think I fixed the problem with the map, could someone try it out please? I do not have a widescreen here, which makes it harder to decide if it really was fixed.

I uploaded the new .asi temporarly for testing. Thanks to anyone who tries. If it works, it will be updated on my webpage.

OK, I'll go test it out after I finish re-installing (my game can't load for some reason )

Edit: Alright, I tested it, and the map is good. All the icons are good. BUT, the new version has the problem that is displayed in the "Before" of the Before/After pic. (Like I aim at a cop's head with the targeting thing, and it completely misses) Strange...

If you still use a 4:3 CRT, it's quite easy to simulate a 16:10 widescreen resolution. Just set the display to 1920x1080 for instance (or 1680x1050, 1440x900 etc.) and scale the image with your monitor's OSD settings to get the correct aspectratio. This will result in black bars on top and bottom, but it will represent a 16:10 display correctly. It could be very practical for you to test the changes you make.

But lot's of tnx for making the fix anywayz. Although I hope u will fine-tune it a bit further

Oh and i you can't get these resolutions to work, there should be ways to add custom resolutions within nVidia or ATi control panel. If this does not work either, Powerstrip will be able to

I tried it on the Steam version of VC, and the game crashes on loading a savegame. Anybody got it to work on the Steam version?

Using Geforce 8800 GT 512, Forceware 169.12, 1440x900 resolution

Nope, crashes for me too in the Steam version.

GeForce 9800 GX2
Forceware 175.16
1680x1050

Any ideas?

You need to replace gta-vc.exe with an older version.

Sorry for bumping this topic, but I have a question thats been bugging me for a while - Why on earth should this be an issue in the first place? If you are using a 16:10 resolution you don't need to enable the "Widescreen" option

[Squiddy]

When using a 16:10 resolution and not activating the widescreen option some people, including me, noticed errors I described in the first post.

I cite:

This showed in a difference between the crosshair and the actual hit point. [...] - HUD not stretched anymore - Crosshair match hit point - perspective adjusted

While the perspective is probably a matter of taste, at least I had problems with the crosshair not matching the point of bullet impact, as shown here: http://squiddy.marway.org/gta/screens/vcwi...beforeafter.jpg

Okay, its just when I play using a widescreen 16:10 resolution everything looks normal*. Only when activating Widescreen while also using a 16:10 resolution do I get the aforementioned error of crosshair not matching hit point, yet as I said if you were using a 16:10 resoltution there is no need to enable the Widescreen option - Everything looks squashed. That's why I was confused.


*The HUD and Radar are still stretched regardless of widescreen being enabled.

[Squiddy]

Yes, I probably mixed things up. I've developed this on a 4:3 lcd, because a friend notified me of these errors. It's been to long ago for me, so I can't really remember what the real problem was. I read somewhere, that the widescreen option was for using widescreen resolutions on a 4:3 display. So activating it for playing on a widescreen probably is a mistake, but I didn't know that before, so I was developing with it.
At least it fixes the hud stretching.
