Widescreen question

CelticGuard · 29-09-19, 00:20

(not sure if this is a TRNG or a generic TRLE question, but I'm coming from Dxtre3d so idk)

Hey guys, I just did a fresh TRNG install (mk5 1.3.0.0). I'm trying to get the game to run in true widescreen, but the FOV/camera distance is distorted and the experience is pretty bad:

And if I run it windowed in a 16:9 resolution (here: 1280x720) it appears stretched as if it was 4:3:

I read somewhere that TRNG supports a widescreen option in setup? How do I get the game to display correctly?

Unfortunately, that how TRNG is. It crops the top and bottom of the image. Not sure how to correct that though.

There's a plugin which allows to have the correct FOV, which you can find here

It can be installed as any other plugin, but it's not necessary in this case

Yeah, we use a plugin for that. "We" being maybe the 2% of builders/players who actually care about widescreen and despise the "cropscreen" of TRNG. The rest doesn't give a damn about 25% of the screen area missing... some even play with a stretched Lara and don't see anything wrong with it, so...

Does the plugin fix the issues with windowed mode?

Sadly nope :/ it seems to be an issue with TRNG

Thank you so much!

It worked! I've been meaning to try to make the switch from Dxtre3D, and boy, is it hard.

I'm glad someone still bothered to make this plugin, haha. Personally I can't stand the cropped screen; fat Lara is better but still ugly to look at!

Too bad it doesn't also fix windowed; now only if there was some way to load TRLE in 4K, it would avoid the split second overhead in switching resolutions.

I should have been using that plugin this whole time. Using it now, no questions asked.

There is a way actually, which is about to use dgvoodoo

Normally you use it with shaders to make the game look better with more effects, but you can easily toggle it off

That's so weird. I'm actually using dgVoodoo too, but if I select a resolution greater than 1920×1080, it crashes saying "Failed to setup DirectX"
