Fixes

Widescreen gameplay

  • Resolution - native support for any display resolution, including ultrawide
  • Aspect Ratio - corrected for all rendered elements
  • HUD - repositioned and scaled to match the active aspect ratio; optional constraint (16:9, 21:9, or custom)
  • Field of View - corrected for widescreen; optional mathematically accurate hor+ scaling
  • FMVs - fullscreen display for 16:9 with crop or stretch mode; auto-fit scaling for narrower ratios
  • Fix for the black background in magazine cover screens


New Options

Resolution selector in the menu

  • Skip Intro - bypass startup FMVs
  • Windowed Mode - borderless, bordered, resizable, or borderless fullscreen
  • FPS Limit - uncapped, fixed value, or synced to monitor refresh rate (including 2×)
  • Gamepad Support - Xbox or PlayStation icons, fixed front-end bindings
  • Analog Deadzones - configurable left and right stick deadzones

Resolution selector in the menu

  • Custom Save Directory - redirect user files to any subfolder in game directory
  • Hide Debug Objects - removes debug UI that is only visible in widescreen
  • Audio Sample Rate - override the game's default 44100 Hz if needed
  • Console Gamma - a custom gamma curve that creates a more contrasted image with deeper colors, similar to how some games looked on the Xbox 360


Camera

Mouse look in-game

  • Mouse/Stick Look - fully functional free-look with adjustable sensitivity for both mouse and right stick. Experience Need for Speed: Underground like never before with new camera angles. Reset timeout, return speed, and vertical axis inversion are all configurable in the ini file.
