I'm having some issues with the game crashing when trying to play it with the patch.
copied the replacement files over to windows\\Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds\Game\
double clicked on the exe file, and the patch ran
tried to run from the wide_battlegrounds_x1.bat file, but keep getting message that program has stopped working.

any help would be appreciated. unless i'm doing something wrong.

KnightLife,
OminousCactus40,
I found the problem of the patch. For resolutions smaller than 1024 high, like 1600x900 or 1366x768, patch resized ingame interface images from 1024x768 resolution. As you know, for the screens like 1920x1080 patch works fine because it changes 1280x1024 images. So I modified the code and now patch always use only 1280x1024 images.

Please, reload the patch and reply about works it for you, or not.

I just made an account to say that your fix worked flawlessly with my resolution of 1366x768, thank you very much!

Did you remove your download link on your post?

Meneazus,
Thank you for the feedback. Instructions and download link are available on previous page.

Thank you for the patch. It works great, though I do have a request:

My display resolution is 2560 x 1440. This is a little to small for my taste and I would love to have the ability to choose a resolution when patching. I my case my resolution of choice would be 1920 x 1080. Is this possible? As a side note: at 1440p the HUD is not getting stretched. Instead there is a distortion to the right.

@xap4oru:
I doesn't know it exactly how it works or you did made this mod, but is it possible to set the right side of interface ("the new, unnecessary") as transparency. So that you can see more of the battlefield?

OK, so I redownloaded the patch, copied the files over, double clicked on the .exe file to apply the patch, which then ran. Then I went to run the game, which is where things get interesting. According to the new READ ME file (which I like by the way), I ran "wide_battlegrounds_x1.exe," went into options, but can only select the top two display settings not 1280x1024. Just wont let me do that. Looking at the pre-updated patch, I remember that the instructions there said to run the game from "wide_battlegrounds_x1.bat" file. So I did that just for the heck of it, and when that loads I can change the display to 1280x1024, but the program with stop responding as soon as I go to launch a new game.

I would like to thank you for all the time and trouble that's gone into this, and in the end it doesn't really stop my enjoyment in the game. It's been a favorite of mine for years now.

I have to add something to my previous posting:

I managed to choose FullHD by selectign it as my desktop resolution. After applying the patch I switched it back to 1440p. Still, a selection screen would be nice

Regarding the distortion: Of course you're right. It's stretched, not distorted

Patch said it worked, but when I switch to the 1280x1024, it still uses that resolution instead of 1440x900. Using Win7 and installed patch with a fresh install of the game.
