Is there a "real" widescreen patch or hack for Warcraft 3 to e.g. allow playing in 16:10/1680x1050?

The only solutions I've found (like changing the resolution in the registry) give me either 4:3 with black bars or stretch to 16:10.

Wc 3 has many resolutions in his options. Hacks are not needed anymore. I get my res 1920x1080 without a problem. Are 16:10 specifically not supported?? – Wandang Aug 17 '12 at 16:53

No, there is no way to play it in widescreen with the correct aspect ratio.

You can manually change the resolution in the registry (CURRENT_USER/Software/Blizzard Entertainment/Warcraft III/Video, reswidth and resheight).

The 3d parts will be expanded, but the 2d parts like the HUD will be stretched a bit. As far as I know no real ways to allow you to use the extra wideness.

Nope, it stretches the full screen, see e.g. the screenshots here. – gfr Aug 15 '10 at 20:09
