If you are like me, you found other 3rd-party hacks claiming to enable widescreen and high resolution support for Just Cause, but were disappointed to see they didn’t work for the Steam version of the game.

So far, it looks like I’ve gotten it to work, albeit in windowed mode, by doing the following:

1. Download the “UResChanger v2″ from http://www.widescreengamingforum.com/wiki/Racer_S_Hacks (Thanks Racer_S!)
2. Follow the directions in the included Readme, placing the unzipped files in your Steam/steamapps/common/just cause folder.
3. Edit the resolution.ini to set your preferred resolution. Here the important part, set the “Windowed” line to:

Windowed=1

That’s it!

If you don’t set that last value, your game will likely crash on startup (let me know if you find a way to get it to work in full screen).

Disclaimer: I haven’t played the game extensively but it appears to work fine at 1900×1200 so far. Will try 2560×1600 next.  Apologies if you run into any problems.
