[INTRODUCTION]


I tried my best to find a solution to make this game work at 3440x1440. Since I didn't find any info in the internet I created this guide to help people who are in the same situation. If you come up with a better solution please let me know in the comment !
Also English is not my first language, sorry if I made some mistakes.

    0x00001B58 (Hired Team, Quake3, Quake2, Dark Salvation, Heretic II, Quake, Star Trek Elite Force, Hexen II, Kingpin)
6. Click apply on the top right corner and close the windows

After this step you will be able to select shader model 2.0 ++ and remove crash

Step 2 (This step is to make the game looks better)

2. Right click on Riddick.exe. Then select Properties and go on the compatibilty tab.
3. In compatibility mode Check : Run this program in compatibility mode for : Windows XP (Service Pack 3)

6. Check Override high DPI scaling behavior and select Scaling performed by: Application
7. Click ok then apply and you can close the window
 
Step 3 (This step is to enable stretched resolution) 

1. Open Nvidia Control panel
2. In the display section click on Adjust desktop size and position. 
3. In "select a scaling mod" click on full-screen
4. check ovverride the scaling mod set by games and programs
5. Click on apply and close the window

Step 4 (This step is to make the games not stretched but playable at 3440x1440 21/9)

1. Launch the game
2. Go to Option -> Video -> Display mod and search the resolution 1920x1440 and click apply 
3. Search for Pixel Aspect and select 4: 3 ->2.35 and click apply

Step 5 (This step is to make the games looks better while implementing antialiasing)

1. go to the path of the game
2. Open Environment.cfg
3. Add this line GL_ADVPIXELFORMAT=1
4. Launch the game.
5. Open console with Ctrl + Alt + ~
6. Type vmultisampletaps x where x is the value of AA (2, 4, or 8) I recommend 8 -> vmultisampletaps 8
7. Press Enter

Notes:
You need to enable AA through the console every time you launch the game
To make it faster just open the console and press up arrow key then press Enter

Step 6

Enjoy the game and let me know in the comment if you need help or if I made some mistake.
