Widescreen Patch for Project: Snowblind
---------------------------------------
This patch adds widescreen support to Project: Snowblind. In particular, it
makes it possible to run the game at widescreen resolutions and fixes the aspect
ratio at widescreen resolutions by increasing the horizontal field of view.

Installation
------------
- extract the contents of this archive into the Project: Snowblind installation
  directory
- install the *Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 x86 Redistributable* using the included
  `vcredist_x86.exe` installer

You can adjust various settings in `snowblind-widescreen.ini`, though the
defaults should be fine most of the time.

Known Issues
------------
- The black bars/fade effects during in-game cutscenes don't resize to fit the
  screen.
- The HUD is always confined to the center 4:3 area of the screen
- Increasing or decreasing the vertical FOV from the default introduces various
  visual glitches (mostly UI elements appearing that are normally offscreen and
  the 1st person weapon/arm meshes running out).
- Dynamic character shadows are not where they should be (note that character
  shadows are only rarely visible anyway).

Changelog
---------
* 1.0 (2015-04-13)
  - initial release
