Oh interesting - turns out it works on the SKIDROW exe... so I can infact release mine, was waiting for you because I dont have retail.


;)) Does you fix also work in Fullscreen? or just window mode? For example the plugin I made only works for Fullscreen. If I make the game render in window mode it doesnt do anything:))

Hello all,

I managed to Fix the game to run in FULLSCREEN:

- No need of manually editing I don't know what configuration files
- Fixed the correct render on 3 Screens.
- Hud is spanned on all 3 Screens, but with an incorrect AR. (The engine is highly volatile and crashes alot which made it nearly impossible to fix this AR)
- Workaround provided for menus to properly scale them on the left monitor (if for some reason the AR doesn't do it for you)
- Also works with 3D Vision Surround.
- Haven't tested it on Eyefinity but it should work.


How to:

Important:
- Start the game.
- Select from Options the resolution of your 1 monitor Ex: for 5760x1080 select 1920x1080. If this is not done, the game will crash when the fix enabled!!!

Then:
- Get the plugin and put it in WideScreen Fixer/Plugins folder.
- Configure the plugin.
- Start the game.
- The fix stars automatically starts so no need to manually enabled it.
- [b]Once you are in the main menu, ALT+TAB[b] out of the game and back to make it render on 3 Screens.
- Use the workaround key if needed
- Play the game:)

Let me know how it works for you:)

Best Regards,
Helifax

Works in window mode or fullscreen doesn't matter, i take my screenshots windowed cause I can just hit print-screen, no alt tabing, the UI automatically changes to the correct scale (albeit not centered), you can choose the higher resolutions in the options menu, and change and it'll still run scaled properly.

There is only one bug, and that is that when you are having conversations the text does not show, yours has the same issue.

2 codecaves thus far, been working on other things however.

What texts? the subtitles? or the answers you can select in a conversation? For me during the cutscenes the only problem is the fov. All cuscenes seem to be Vert-.

Great work.

I may be dense, but I do not see where to download the plugin. I have the widescreen fixer r432 version installed, but there is no RIsen 2.

Hayden are you still going to release you fix? I don't have the retail version either at this stage, as I'm still not sure about this game..Cheers

Update:

So Helifax's fix works regardless. is this game worth buying, anyone?

There is no separate "retail version". The game is Steam only. All versions of the game depend on Steam.
