Oh, right, thanks for pointing that out! Turns out the aspect ratio code we unquestioningly committed from Jonathan is bugged and doesn't do anything in most situations. The previous code (unelegantly) would do a hybrid thing, cutting away a bit on the top and bottom and expanding a bit to the sides. That behavior has now been restored (and tweaked a bit).

The one thing suffering the most was the horizontal splitscreen setup with extreme wide views, which cut away too much from top and bottom. For regular single screen widescreen, you essentially pretty much got the desired view; the camera default settings were tweaked for a 15:9 aspect ratio, and on 4:3 or 5:4, you just got to see more on top and bottom. And, of course, the whole time you were able to fix things by changing the FOV setting.
