Widescreen resolution

Widescreen fix^[1]

Download the CD2DVD Patch. (Not needed for 2005/2015 DVD release)
Extract MaceGriffin.exe from the archive to the <path-to-game>. (Not needed for 2005/2015 DVD release)
Download the "Latest stable version" of dgVoodoo2.
Extract dgVoodooCpl.exe, dgVoodoo.conf and D3D8.dll from the MS\x86 folder to the <path-to-game>.
Run dgVoodooCpl.exe and go to the DirectX tab.
Select the maximum resolution supported by the monitor and uncheck the dgVoodoo Watermark option.
Optional (but very recommended): set Filtering to Force anisotropic 16x and Antialiasing (MSAA) to 8x.
Apply the changes and close the application.
Calcuate FOV_X and FOV_Y values using Sui's Mace Griffin FOV Calculator.
Go to the installation folder and open Bountyhunter.ini.
Modify the FOV_X and FOV_Y values using the ones obtained from FOV calculator.
(FOV_X = 343 and FOV_Y = 457 values are recommended for 16:9 aspect ratio resolutions to avoid glitches on viewmodels of pistol and melee attack)

High frame rate

The game runs at a frame rate equal to half of your refresh rate by default.
(2005/2015 DVD release has increased framerate limit to ~500 fps)

CD2DVD Patch^[2]

Download the CD2DVD Patch.
Extract MaceGriffin.exe from the archive into the <path-to-game>.
Open Bountyhunter.ini.
Change:

LIMIT_FRAMERATE = ON
REFRESH = 50

to

LIMIT_FRAMERATE = OFF
REFRESH = <monitor's_refresh_rate>

5. Save the file.

Notes

Changing settings via built-in configuration tool will reset refresh rate back to the original state.

2005/2015 DVD release might also need Bountyhunter.ini tweaks for some hardware configurations.
