I think you're just looking for an excuse not to play, which is fine because the time investment is significant, but if you're doing it because of the toxic community, I gotta tell you, you gotta pick a better reason.

I agree! Maybe.....MAYBE 10% of the server's population actively post on these forums. If that is enough to burst their bubble and make them quit, they never wanted to be here in the first place!

The verbal minority on the forums do not accurately represent the P99 player base.

forced 4:3 resolution
Which is possible.

Anyone who understands how Titanium handles widescreen is already playing in narrower aspect ratio (like 4:3, which I use) anyway. To that end, let folks use "wide screen" because it's hamstringing the people using it and most of 'em don't even realize it.

What resolution do you play in?

Don't remember what it's set to right now, offhand. I've changed settings over the years ranging from 1024x768 up to 1600x1200 4:3 as well as experimenting with several wide-screen aspect ratios depending on the various monitors I've used over the course of the past decade. I forget the native resolution of my current monitor but it's a 16:9 screen so I accept the side-letterboxing in the name of being able to see more stuff in-game.

There are threads on the board detailing Titanium's wierdness with widescreen resolutions and I can create screenshots if needed, but suffice it to say that when you switch to a wide-screen resolution in-game, it isn't actually giving you more viewable space to the sides like you'd expect in any other piece of software. Instead it makes the game fit your screen by basically chopping off the top and bottom and reduces what you can really see. If you're playing in widescreen mode you're in effect looking at the game through a viewslit. If you already know all this, then consider this post to be directed at other readers whom might not be aware of the above.

EDIT: I'll link Jimjam's recent thread here. It should suffice as an illustration: https://www.project1999.com/forums/s...d.php?t=331665

I play in the super popular 1792x1344 resolution.

I was using widescreen until I discovered how much game I was cutting off.

[BlackBellamy]

Here is same shot widescreen, half the gate is missing.

Edit: notice you're not seeing any extra content on the sides.

So effectively it's reducing the players Field of View? I'd never noticed this playing @ 2560x1440 (and I did tests of various resolutions to check for any cropping....perhaps my eyes didn't notice the horizontal cropping as I was mainly looking to the sides of the monitor)

Playing at high refresh rate is DEFINITELY an all-around improvement and forced 60Hz would kill me!
