This fix isn't for the original 2002 release, but for the 2005 re-release by Rebellion, it's a completely different game altogether.

I am aware that there are two versions of the game, and have both (the original on GOG, and WW0 on Steam). I am using the Rebellion version, which I'm assuming they made some changes to when punting the game onto Steam in 2019.

That's right. I'm not sure if the Steam version has true widescreen and wider support by default or not (Hor+ image), as I can't test it, I've only tested the retail DVD version that came out in 2005, which didn't have.

It has a "widescreen" toggle that enables widescreen resolutions to be selected, but the results simply appear to be stretched.

Probably worth just slapping a "DVD version only" label onto the fix.

Well, maybe I can figure out the hex patterns from the Steam exe, could you send it through here? I'll try to see if it's possible.
