So for some reason after even installing the first mod (the widescreen mod linked in recommended mods) when i go inte game to check, the title screen has been squashed into the upper left corner of my TV, the colours are a garbled variation of green and purple, and the mouse is leaving a trail all over the place.

for some reason the FMV at the beginning doesnt play either.

I installed the 2nd mod (UI mod) after that just to see if it fixed it, but then i just got an error message and the game refused to start at all.

Update :

I managed to fix it. turns out i was inputting an unsupported resolution on the first mod.
