Those of you that haven't read the BK interview #1 with Kilgore yet should go do that now!
Here is a little excerpt that might be of interest to some:
To prevent some confusion ... everything that changes gameplay (that includes true widescreen) is of course implemented as a DMFlag. |

Some info about true widescreen support:
The normal 4:3 ratio view:
Widescreen 16:9 ratio view:
Now imagine you have an oldschool 4:3 monitor and you currently see this:
You join a widescreen enabled server and you want to play competitively (thus, have the same FOV as your enemy) ... you would 'theoretically' end up with this:
Fear not! Letterboxing to the rescue!
Black bars on top and bottom allow 4:3 monitor users to play competitively against widescreen users without some strangely distorted ingame view like we saw above!

Hehe, I don't mind if this version is released on January 10th, 2014.
Its deffinetely worth it, really liking the side server demo and the bright skins new features. |

I am bit worrying of that screen changes (i think it's good now) i hope we dont end like zandro does with this :
(original 1080p)
Also not sure about uncapped fps option (dmflag?) cuz someone says yes its gonna be in 1.10 (but someone act's like "lol nnope").
Sum developer told (bad memory for names darn xD) that there's gonna be GPU acceleration and some improvements to rendering, (also 32 color depth unlock?)
i know that there is needed a lot of other work but i wondering most about this so may tell someone sumthing more,,,? |

Then about the missing sprites: how can the engine fill in something that is not there (the missing part of the sprite in your example)? The only right way out of that problem is for mappers to replace old graphics with new ones (that they will make). There is nothing the engine can do about that.

The same applies to all other rumours you heard. |

Why am I seeing this topic only now!? Saw the Hexen pics on IRC once (ty KG) and was rather titillated. But put it all together this is strong news indeed! |

If you use a 4:3 monitor and fill the screen, the sides get chopped off and you can't even read text? |
