Like many id Tech 3 games, Elite Force 2's volume shadows cause unsightly glitching on self-shadowing character models.

Widescreen resolution[edit]

Running a game in widescreen resolution^{[citation needed]}

Start a game.
Open the console by pressing ~.
Type in: r_customwidth X, where X is width of your desired resolution (for example, for 1680x1050 resolution, replace X with 1680).
Now, type in: r_customheight Y, where Y is height of your desired resolution (for example, for 1680x1050 resolution, replace Y with 1050).
Type in: r_mode -1 to make the game use custom resolutions.
Type in vid_restart to restart the renderer and apply new resolution settings.
Finally, change FOV using command FOV X. 100 seems to be a good value for 16:9 resolutions.

Notes

Running a game in a resolution not supported by your monitor will result in OpenGL error. To fix it - edit r_customwidth and r_customheight values in your config file. Refer to Game data to find where configuration file is located.

Running the game in widescreen mode will stretch some elements of HUD and menus.

Changing graphical options in-game will make a game run in 4:3 resolutions again. Repeat steps 5 and 6 to make a game run in widescreen mode, again.
