 +
===[https://github.com/SuiMachine/W40k-Fire-Warrior---Sui-s-Fix Sui's fix]===
 +
{{ii}} A simple wrapper made to simplify running the game on widescreen monitors.
 +
{{ii}} Fire Warrior is stretched when using a non-4:3 resolution. Sui's fix compensates by increasing the FOV, though the image will still be somewhat stretched and distorted. The WSGF.com solution provides a more accurate image, but requires a hex editor.
 +
{{Fixbox|description=Installing Sui's fix|ref=<ref>{{Refcheck|user=Suicide machine|date=2019-09-05}}</ref>|fix=
 +
# Download latest [https://github.com/SuiMachine/W40k-Fire-Warrior---Sui-s-Fix/releases/latest Sui's Fix] and extract it.
 +
# Move all of the files to game's directory.
 +
# Edit {{file|{{p|game}}\Scripts\W40k-fixes.ini}} with a text editor to adjust additional settings.
 +
 
 +
'''Notes'''

{{ii}} Tested only with GOG's 1.50 hotfix version.

===Custom configuration file by MandaloreGaming===
 +
A custom configuration file created by [https://www.youtube.com/user/MandaloreGaming MandaloreGaming] for his [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yDh_aoyZT38 Warhammer 40K: Fire Warrior Review] video. It runs the game at 1080p and fixes audio crackling issues (at the cost of lost audio effects).

Essential improvements

Sui's fix

A simple wrapper made to simplify running the game on widescreen monitors.
Fire Warrior is stretched when using a non-4:3 resolution. Sui's fix compensates by increasing the FOV, though the image will still be somewhat stretched and distorted. The WSGF.com solution provides a more accurate image, but requires a hex editor.
Installing Sui's fix[1]
  1. Download latest Sui's Fix and extract it.
  2. Move all of the files to game's directory.
  3. Edit <path-to-game>\Scripts\W40k-fixes.ini with a text editor to adjust additional settings.

Notes

Tested only with GOG's 1.50 hotfix version.

Custom configuration file by MandaloreGaming

A custom configuration file created by MandaloreGaming for his Warhammer 40K: Fire Warrior Review video. It runs the game at 1080p and fixes audio crackling issues (at the cost of lost audio effects).

A download link and installation details can be found in the Files section.
