- Return To Castle Wolfenstein Widescreen Patch
I am trying to play Star Trek Voyager: Elite Force for PC, which is an older game based off ID Tech 3 (the Quake 3 engine). In comparison to Quake 3 this game has a variety of additional options, but still seems to be limited to a specific set of resolutions, none of which seem to include 1920x1080.
Is it possible to set this game to use a custom resolution of 1920x1080?
For additional bonus points, is it possible to get this game to run in a borderless window mode?

To allow ID Tech 3 games (including Quake 3, Star Trek Voyager: Elite Force, Return to Castle Wolfenstein and many more) to run using a widescreen or custom resolution you can edit the configuration file created after you first run the game.
In the case of Star Trek Voyager: Elite Force, that configuration file is located in
<Installation Folder>baseefefconfig.cfg
. The first change you need to make, is you need to find a configuration line that says the following;
seta r_mode 'x'
Change the
x
to -1
.Then, either change or add the following two lines;
seta r_customwidth 'x'
seta r_customheight 'y'
Building on the Call of Duty 4®: Modern Warfare engine, Call of Duty: World at War immerses players into the most gritty and chaotic WWII combat ever experienced.
About This GameCall of Duty is back, redefining war like you've never experienced before. Players band together to survive the most harrowing and climactic battles that led to the demise of the Axis powers on the European and Pacific fronts. The title offers an uncensored experience with unique enemies and combat variety, including Kamikaze fighters, ambush attacks, Banzai charges and cunning cover tactics, as well as explosive on-screen action through the all new four-player cooperative campaign.
Where
x
and y
are the width x height values for the resolution you wish to run, in this instance 1920x1080.Finally if you want to adjust the field of view drawn in game, you can do so by changing or adding the following;
seta cg_fov 'x'
Where
x
is the field of view in degrees, defaulting to 90.The ID Tech 3 engine does not natively support 'Fullscreen Windowed Mode', and thus neither does Star Trek Voyager: Elite Force. However there is this nice article on Steam which details how to make any game run in fullscreen windowed mode, and I have tested this with Elite Force and it works fine.

If people are still interested to play Return to Castle Wolfenstein on Windows 7 this will work for any system and bits:
RTCW Unofficial v1.42a Patch (Fixes problems on Win Vista/7 32bit/64bit) - Steam Users' Forums
So just open the patch folder provided by this guy and overwrite (copy-paste) the following files into the directory where you installed the game: the WolfSP.exe, cgamex86.dll, qagamex86.dll and uix86.dll.
Now the game should work but you won't be able to change the sucking default settings. To do that run the game and go to OPTIONS, SYSTEM and instead of changing individual settings (like resolution alone) go to 'Quality' at the top of the list, just below 'Set Recommended' and select 'High Quality'. That's the best that worked for me. You can try to custom select individual settings but that gets you an Open.gl error.
If you do get the Open.gl error go to the game directory, 'Main' and delete wolfconfig.cfg. Don't worry it isn't an essential game file it actually just appears as an additional file when you change the game default settings (it is created after the game installation is complete and you start playing, like a savegame) so it doesn't harm the game. You can then run the game again and try other custom settings and see if they work for you.
Also beware that in the beginning you might get a few graphic errors like white bodies of enemies and white guns but don't get disappointed they will switch to normal just when you reach the room with doctor Zee upstairs. I think these errors will appear again in intros and movies but at least they don't last in the actual gameplay.
