Hi everyone! I’ve been working on a fix to give Emergency 4 proper widescreen and ultrawide support.
I played at 1920×1080 for years, and while the image was stretched, it never bothered me enough to do anything about it. Switching to a 21:9 monitor changed that, the distortion became impossible to ignore.
So I decided to fix it. The result is a wider horizontal field of view, with menus and HUD elements that retain their original proportions. It makes a big difference, especially on ultrawide displays, and gives this classic a much better fit for modern screens.
It widens the view (Hor+) and the HUD can be stretched or scaled properly in the settings, targets any release and works with any mod.
The fix is attached below and can also be downloaded on github:
