About
Revised for 2020, this fix implements the following widescreen corrections:
  • Hor+ FOV: Correctly extends your left and right view instead of losing top and bottom
  • Unstretched HUD: Crosshair and other ingame UI don't look squished or oval
  • Weapon position: Held weapons don't sit below the screen at wider resolutions

Now all done client-side without using a mutator to work in all modes:
  • Singleplayer ✔
  • Multiplayer ✔ except servers running mutators forcing their own custom HUD
  • Instant Action ✔

Installation
  1. Extract foxWSFix.u to UT2004's System folder where UT2004.exe is located
    C:\UT2004\System\foxWSFix.u

  2. In the same folder, open User.ini and replace all instances of InputClass=Class'Engine.PlayerInput'
    with InputClass=Class'foxWSFix.foxPlayerInput'
    [Engine.PlayerController] ... InputClass=Class'Engine.PlayerInput'
    [UnrealGame.UnrealPlayer] ... InputClass=Class'Engine.PlayerInput'
    [Engine.PlayerController] ... InputClass=Class'foxWSFix.foxPlayerInput'
    [UnrealGame.UnrealPlayer] ... InputClass=Class'foxWSFix.foxPlayerInput'

  3. In the same folder, open UT2004.ini and replace all instances of GUIController=GUI2K4.UT2K4GUIController
    with GUIController=foxWSFix.foxUT2K4GUIController
    [Engine.Engine] ... GUIController=GUI2K4.UT2K4GUIController
    [Engine.Engine] ... GUIController=foxWSFix.foxUT2K4GUIController

  4. If your widescreen or ultrawide resolution doesn't show in the video options, you can activate it manually by opening the console with the ~ key and use the SetRes command
    SetRes 3840x2160

I use a 5120x1440 monitor and my main menu has all the text so incredibly huge. How do I fix this?

I would like to know how to modify the basic damage of the first assault rifle. I feel that the first weapon, whether it is a firearm model, has excellent firing effect and sound effect, but the damage of this weapon is too low. I think even a little more basic damage will be better. I like the first rifle very much, but it is too weak :steamsad:

@PapaTom To get this to work - follow the readme instruction inside the archive AND NOT this steam guide (it is outdated/wrong).
