Post subject:  No luck with 5x1 Eyefinity
I tried the solution posted by Helifax and wanted to let the group know that 5x1 Eyefinity (5400x1920) does not work. I get a "your graphics card does not meet the minimum requirements" error at launch and cannot get into the game to do step one for Portrait (regular or flipped) orientations, even single monitor 1080 x 1920.

The game runs fine if I switch to single monitor landscape 1920x1080 and tilt my head.

I am running two 6870 cards, one is the PowerColor Eyefinity 6, 12.4 drivers. Tried with and without Crossfire enabled. Tried to run in "-windowed" in the launch options.

5x1 Portrait is problematic for many games though, even gold-rated ones ... so might try 3x1 Portrait later but I have a feeling that will be an issue too since I cannot do the "Important" step one.

Post subject:  Hi - I released the plugin
Hi - I released the plugin from which screenshots were taken some posts back, I've changed the UI back to not -unstretching because it breaks the chat dialogs however everything else is fixed, FOV, cutscene FOV's etc, unlocked all resolutions in the options menu

Likely has a better chance of working at crazy high 5-1 layouts, HUD will likely be entirely messed up tho!

Post subject:  Bam!
Your application runs Risen 2 perfectly at 5400x1920. I tried it yesterday after the initial install and had no luck, but it worked today after the updates applied. I also rebooted in between so it could have been that.

Either way, nicely done. I made a small donation.

Nice job on the UI too. Quite pleasing to the eye.

Thanks.

Post subject:  You must launch it with it
You must launch it with it running prior and enabled.

Instead of auto detect, you could try manually selecting the version, let me know how you get on.

Post subject:  I made one change, right
I made one change, right click The Risen 2 and click re-install.

So long as these parameters match - Widescreen Fixer is less specific on its process search (EXE name only) but in Flawless Widescreen all these must match to qualify as a match.

if HackTool:FindProcess("RISEN","Risen2.exe","Engine") == true then

eg. Window name is "RISEN", executable name is risen2.exe, and the win32 class name is "Engine"

If it still fails to work - not sure, something is clearly slightly different with that executable.

is the version "1.0.1168.0" when you right click it and go properties?

Hmm interesting:) Why would you want to make it even more specific to detect than the executable's name? If the exe if a different version as a number or "release" the fix will not work. It will simply crash the game...Although in some cases it will work...depending on the shift in the memory map. Is this the reason? or am I missing something? :-s

Post subject:  Your assumption is that it
Your assumption is that it will crash, your modifying executing code - potentially anything could happen as a result of overwriting data in the wrong process or overwriting the wrong location in a known process.

Additionally, typically a game/or process will not generate a valid HWND and associated registered window class until the executable has fully loaded and initiated - this ensures you don't inject whilst a executable is still loading into memory, in a completely unknown and volitile state.

Thirdly it confirms with reasonable certinanty that the process you are attaching to is the process you intended to attach to.

Its kind of like looking for a car in a carpark when all you know is that its red instead of its registration plate.

the fix works, though the mini map/compass is stretched. thanks.
however, 3d is all messed up~ @1920x1080, the game runs very decently with 3D vision. guess currently have to choose between single screen 3d or 2d surround~~"
