So I was attempted to play Elite Force in Ultra-wide using the Stretched Hud from WSGF I've used their stuff before on older games to muck with resolutions, it was working until I tried to combine it with a program called Borderless Gaming to try and make it an Alt-tabable window.

And now it looks like the attached screenshot, even with fresh install.

Any ideas?

The visuals look consistent with a low cg_viewsize setting. I don't know what would cause that, but perhaps try running the command "cg_viewsize 100" in the console?

This can also be changed through the menu in Video -> Video Additional -> Screen Size and setting the slider to maximum.

Yup, it was the Slider setting, that I must have somehow stumbled into without realizing.

I feel like a dope |v

Sliders in EF sometimes have large click areas, so that can happen easily. Glad you got it working!
