I used this method, and it works... sort of. Two problems:

1) Pieces of my taskbar flash at the bottom.

2) The game crashes after a few minutes. It's done this three times to me so far, all within about that much time, and the game doesn't crash otherwise. I'm quite sure I did everything correctly in Artmoney.

I really hope someone can come up with some kind of patch for this game.

Well i got it working just fine... the forst time around.
I did all that was inteh guide, and saved teh .amt file.

and it worked great, and i played for a couple hours.

But now when i try again, no go.

1 start Artmoney
2 start Just Cause and load savegame
3 alt-tab to Artmoney and select Just Cause process
4 load the .amt from before
5 change the 800's to 1440 and the 600's to 900, and delete the rest of the vaues
6 save .amt again
7 alt-tab back to teh game, and it's still at 800x600.

if i alt-tab back to Artmoney for the second time, all but a few calues have reverted back to 800 or 600... and even if i change those back to my desired resolution, teh game is still at 800x600 when i alt-tab back to it.

BUT i can get it working just fine if i start the ENTIRE process over again... from scratch.

what am i doing wrong?

Thanks.

Mike, read the rest of the thread, when you save your profile matters. ^^

had my first crash... sigh... BTW if you have icons that regularly update themselves in your system tray, remove em, otherwise they may flash on the screen in the game.

yes, the only thing which i have had is the "flashing taskbar", so just hide any updating icons.

Otherwise i've played the game for hours and hours now without a single crash, so I'm not sure what that problem may be.

Thanks for the method, it works great!

Only problem I have is that the stuff isn't saving right (maybe the values keep changing?), so I have to go through the process each time...It's np though, cause I haven't had any crashes, so I don't have to go through the process too often.

I can't get the ArtMoney method to work with the demo. I have tried several times by following the guide, and when I set it all to 1920x1200, when I click back to the game, it just makes my desktop flicker and the game never resumes to full screen.

perhaps the full version will not give me trouble, but I don't believe its out yet at least not in the states.

I dunno about teh fdemo, but with the ful version you jsut have to relaod your savegame.







As for myself, I still ahve no luck with using a saved .amt properly.

I've gone through thte process three times now, carefully following the steps and double checking, but still no luck - i have to do teh ENTIRE process from teh very begining for it to work.
Still, better than nothing...

and yes, i DID make sure to save the table at the right times.

Arg.

Mike, could be your horrible typing? ;)

Rich, yea values dont save, only the locations of them (though like I said before, for some reason the amt I load some how got memory locations that wernt there when I saved). remember, save before you enter your custom reesolution in.

Hey guys ...
A little prezzy for ya ... from me and my buddy Racer_S ...

No need for ArtMoney any more with this game ... :D

Just download this rar file and un-zip into your Just Cause folder ... where the JustCause.exe is.

Resolution Changer

Now open up the resolution.ini file and change the resolution to the one you desire ...

Start the game it should run in the chosen resolution ... :D


:shock: ... This resolution changer may work with other games too ... :shock:

Somescreens ...
4:3

Widescreen

TripleHead


No need for ArtMoney any more with this game ... :D

Solution here ... http://www.widescreengamingforum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6725
