About This File

Comes with a RAR file, which includes an ASI plugin intended to fix the resolution and aspect ratio in the third-person action shooter game "Urban Chaos" (1999), since the game only supports a limited amount of 4:3 resolutions. This fix also includes the low texture resolution fix by TheOdds. Also, unlike jackfuste's original widescreen fix, this one also fixes the aspect ratio on cutscenes.

Credits also go to: TheOdds (for the low texture resolution fix details, from here: https://www.gog.com/forum/urban_chaos/higher_resolution_in_game_textures/post19)

Source code available here: https://github.com/alphayellow1/AlphaYellowWidescreenFixes/blob/main/source/fixes/UrbanChaosWidescreenFix

Instructions:

1. Extract all files to the game folder.

2. Download ThirteenAG's Ultimate ASI Loader (32-bit version of winmm.dll), and also extract it to the game folder.

3. Set the desired resolution and FOV factor in UrbanChaosWidescreenFix.ini.

4. In the startup launcher, select the new resolution in the dropdown menu.

- Issues:

:-: Setting a too wide resolution or FOV will lead to the game eventually crashing due to an issue in its lighting cache.

:-: Light coronas are stretched from 4:3.

- Unfortunately the game crashes after a few minutes ingame when applying the widescreen fix if the draw_distance has been raised beyond the default value of 22 in the Config.ini beforehand!
- And even with the default draw_distance value of 22 set you can in fact complete a mission without a crash but the game will then reliably crash before reaching the save menu so you can't save your progress!

-> So I can't recommend this widescreen fix as of now [01-2026] unless you want to use cheats to immediately complete a mission after your first 'normal' run.

Tested with a 16:9 resolution of 1920x1080 (I don't dare trying 4k resolutions).
