Proper Widescreen support wanted!

[Loco Blutaxt]

I now this issue isn't new but I want it to be adressed another time:

Heroes V doesn't support Widescreen resolutions proper. In the options menu you can select the proper resolution but the effect is that the game stretches the picture. Everything on the map is too small in size and too wide.

I don't think a proper support is so hard to adress from the developers and if there would be only one remaining patch and I could decide which one - I would take widescreen support!!!

Hopefully a developer is reading this post!

I seriously doubt that a developer is reading the post because most of them don't even speak English.

That aside I would second the request for wide screen support and I'd like to one-up that request by requesting "proper" support for things like 1080i ; 1080p ; 720p ; etc. support. [I.E. Hi-Def TV support] ....

Resource-wise I'm only asking for an 8% increase in pixels pushed out compared to 1600x1200 so that's not asking too much from a modern day game IMHO.

Here's my widescreen support tip for the day. Check patch 3.1 when it's out.

Check patch 3.1 when it's out.

I don't even know if it's work in progress - but I'm shure you have better informations on that then me!
So you think there's hope?

Check patch 3.1 when it's out.

Patch 1.3 is also rumored to put an end to global warming, cancer and hunger. I can't wait to update my game...!

Thanks for the update man!!

I doubt that I'll get any Hi-Def lovin' with H5 but it's still good news to hear that general wide screen support may be around for H5.

This gives me some additional hope for H6!!

Edit: Is there any chance for Hi-Def lovin' with the new patch?

Should you mean HDTV support with this question... err, didn't you say you don't want to buy ToE? Anyway, so should you mean this, well...

I meant patch 3.1 of course... I just can't type...

[Kareeah Indaga]

I figured that, but the ending cancer comment was still funny.

I may not be buying TotE BUT I would still like to know if HDTV resolutions are supported.

I wonder if the H5 core version of this patch would get a similar widescreen updates. It would be nice but this sounds like a good TotE-only feature.

Should I take your answer to be "If I buy TotE then I will get HDTV support with the 3.1 patch"?

[Jolly Joker]

You could take it that way, yes.

Someone has pretty high expectations! Is the patch by some chance codenamed Eden 2? Or perhaps Eden Creation Kit?

Hope you won't get too disappointed if it does only 1 of the three things.

that's good news. Lack of widescreen support was a real downer once I got my new screen..

Jep! I had the same downer last saturday!

[Alamar]

You could take it that way, yes.

JJ: Do you know if the H5 1.6 patch is the patch you're referring to or is there a patch 1.61 [or 1.7] in the works?
