According to the guys at the widescreen gaming forums, editing the ini file doesn't change a thing. |
That's right - some games, even if they offer such settings in the ini file, will not change the settings in-game.
Many games either use a licensed game engine or an in-house engine that most likely support FOV and aspect ratio settings. However, it's up to the developers to enable or disable such options, and if enabled, to define the parameters.
Doom3 doesn't support 1080i no matter how much you fiddle with the settings in the ini file - it will only support up to 720p. Obviously id didn't include 1080i as a possibiliby/option. And yes, I would've returned the game, but I bought it and didn't play it until some two years after I bought it; needless to say, there was no chance for me to return the game - and yes, it bothers the hell out of me to see two black vertical bars on each end of the monitor.
