Salut WSG Community. Are there any news for Settlers III? Did someone figure out how to play it comfortably in WS-resolutions? If not. Uhm. May someone maybe take another look into it? It such a great game and it would be a joy to play it in higher resolutions. And by the way. I´m missing the S4 Hex Code for 1600x900. Can someone give it to me pls? Regards! |

I believe I made some progress with The Settlers III: I am able to change the height of the game window, but any height bigger then 864px causes the game to crash. Before I go into details about the crash, here is how to change the height of the game window:
A value of 880px or more results in a crash with one of the following error mesages: Quote: Structured Exception c0000005 occured at 0x005225F9. Write to 728d00e failed. Quote: Structured Exception c0000005 occured at 0x004288BF. Read from 14270f08 failed. Further notes:

The Settlers III fullscreen border fix should resolve the white border issue. You can make fixes for affected games using the Microsoft Application Compatibility Toolkit (make a fix that includes ForceSimpleWindow, then save and install the fix package). Several pre-made fixes are available on PCGamingWiki. |

I figured out how to change the width of the game! I don't have enough time to write a detailed post right now, but I will post the details later. |

Thank you Garrett, your border-fix works! Sorry it took so long, but here is the post I promised. Before I go into details, here is a list of what is possible at the moment:
By "game-area" I mean the area the game itself is played in, without the menu on the left side of the screen. When the game is running at 1024x768, it's default width is 808px (0x328 in Hex). Before it is possible to increase the game-width, it is necessary to adjust two values:
Now we can change the width of the game-window:
By increasing the width too much, I got the following errors: Quote: Structured Exception c0000005 occured at 0x0052243A. Write to 1488a580 failed. Quote: Structured Exception c0000005 occured at 0x005FC4F2. Write to 593ef2a failed. Further notes:

interesting what you found out, but there any new news about chaning the screen / ingame resolution? On Settlers 4 there are working widescreen fixes to play the game in high resolutions and on 16:9 display with corect aspect ratio. I like settlers 3 and want to play it on my modern PC in a higher resolution or even with right 16:9 aspect ratio and not in old 4:3 ratio. so any fixes now out? |

I am using the suggested Be.HexEditor program to modify The Settlers IV and none of the suggested strings to search for in gfxengine.dll can be found. I tried a Text search and a Hex search. I am copy/pasting the suggested strings in to the Search box. I have the latest GOG version of the game for Windows. Edit: It seems that the suggested strings should be provided without spaces between the numbers, to best facilitate copy/pasting. For example, copy/pasting 00 05 00 00 bb 00 04 00 00 results in no search results since the empty spaces are parsed as data. Instead you should copy/paste 00050000bb00040000 in to the bottom box in the Search UI. |

Where am I supposed to input B0 04 for 1920x1080? Why is there no hex editing examples for changing the 1280x768 resolution mode so that we can have all the UI features? |
