I recently installed Hitman Contracts on my laptop. Everything is smooth except the resolution. My laptop has a wide screen monitor, so the aspect ratio is 16x10, and no matter what I try I can't make the game look properly. I changed the values in the HitmanContracts.ini to 1280x800 and added the line "Window 1", but all that does is a nasty stretch to my bald-headed fella.

On Hitman 1, 2 and 4, when you change the .ini file, everything displays just fine, but here It’s just different for some reason.

Any ideas?

There is no way to avoid stretching if you want to use widescreen resolution in that game. What I usually do for older games is simply run them in 4:3 resolution, for my monitor of 1680x1050 - 4:3 resolution is 1400x1050, so i just add this res as a custom in nvidia control panel. I also set in nvidia control panel to maintain correct aspect ratio, so when I run 4:3 resolution I get small black bars left and right but no stretching and everything looks clear because native rasolution is still used, just not all the width.

Yeah I also did the nVidia keep aspect ratio thing, but I don't get why on other hitmans - which have the same engine - there's no stretching.

Oh well... thanks anyway.

Been there. They obviously didn't check if it works for Contracts. Take my word - it doesn't.
