at 1920x1200, vendetta stretches the interface into a disproportionate scale, that just looks really weird. Not sure if this should be a feature request, or what, but if it could automatically figure it out based on the res, instead of having to use hudscale or whatever, that'd be nice :)

Moved over to suggestions since it is a bug with no feature.

Currently this can be fixed by fooling around with the HUD size variables:
set rHUDxscale "800.000000"
set rHUDyscale "600.000000"
Changing those to a widescreen resolution will fix this.
I agree though, it should be done automatically.

I always wondered about that. I've been in a square aspect ratio in my widescreen because I couldnt stand having the radar not be round! Do you just set to your screen aspect ratio?

Yah, I suggest you don't set it to the resolution Vendetta runs at as the text will be quite small.

The new HUD scales differently, so we'll have to see how this behaves in the new client.
