Widescreen resolution

Game needs to be run in admin mode in order for it to write and read settings from and to ubi.ini, since it's located inside %WINDIR%\UbiSoft\.
Change resolution[1]
  1. Go to the configuration file(s) location.
  2. Search for the line Gli_Mode under the [Dino] category.
  3. Change it to the preferred resolution (for example, Gli_Mode=1 - 1920 x 1080 x 32).

Notes

dgVoodoo 2 is needed for resolutions higher than 2048 horizontal pixels to work.
Stretched 3D image and HUD at aspect ratios wider than 4:3. For an unstretched Hor+ image, use the FOV fix.
