    Hello everyone! I'm having a little problem with Half Life episode 2 that I borrowed from a friend. I can't get it to run on widescreen even if I click on the drop-down menu (16:9/16:10), it just goes back to the options menu without applying. I'm using Omega 3.8.360. Thank you! :eek:

    After you change the ratio go into the res drop down box and there should modified, wide screen resolutions to choose from. Then once you choose the res you want hit apply.

    right click on the icon and choose properties, and add this:

    -height 800 -width 1280

    to the launch box at the end, be sure to add one space between the .exe and -height....
