korell: Oh well, odd that it says it works on the Steam version but then doesn't work on the GOG version, as you'd expect them both to be the latest version executable considering the game is from 2005.
I just read the Gun entry on the WSGF (Widescreen Gaming Forum) site. There are registry entries that can be edited for the screen resolution, so that can be done. However, the result is a stretching of the screen, not showing additional display, so for me that is worse than just playing it pillarboxed for the original 4:3 screen ratio.
I found this information out myself yesterday as well. I was able to set the game to 2560x1600 successfully via the registry and the game works but is stretched, however it is no more stretched that the game's built in 4:3-only modes, just stretched in software rather than in the monitor scaling. It is playable like this but definitely having proper widescreen support would be better. I just read the Gun entry on the WSGF (Widescreen Gaming Forum) site.

I have not yet tried the 3rd party hack yet but I downloaded it yesterday as well. Sounds like at least a few of you got it to work so that is promising. I'll have to wait and try that another time though.
