Widescreen resolution

- Widescreen fixes will break the minimap location reporting, which can be solved using the minimap fix.[1]
- Widescreen fixes resolutions of 1366x768 and under will not display dialogue option text correctly and are unplayable.[2][3]
Steam widescreen
- Only widescreen hack method which works on Steam version.[4]
- Works by replacing the updated Steam exe to an older one to allow UniWS to work, which reverts to a slightly older version of the game with some bugs.[5]

Improvements

- PCGamingWiki file mirror.

- Highly recommended patch restores cut content from the game.
- Version 1.8.2 now supports M4-78 Enhancement Project which restores 'droid planet' content.[8]
