Widescreen Gaming Forum

I too would like to know how to make my own. I'd rather just play the game in 4:3 without a distorted UI, but I need 4:3 resolutions larger than 1600x1200.

On a side note, why are you messing around with half-arsed downsampling methods in an old DX9 game like this where any SSAA should work fine. SGSSAA or even OGSSAA should work perfectly in this game and look 100x better than downsampling. Personally I haven't even tried any form of full scene SSAA yet. I'm just using 8xAA+8xTransparency AA, and that seems to be sufficient (It's not like the game has any shader aliasing, so MSAA+transparency AA is all you need theoretically, although often Nvidia's Transparency AA 'misses' out some specific transparencies, so if I see any of that I'll try a full scene SSAA).

Hello All,
I came here because I'm getting crashes when I start the game which I purchased from GOG sometime ago.

I have downloaded the spellforce_pe.7z but how do I get this to work so it wont crash?

It continues to give the message "Desired resolution not found. Please install latest drivers!"

Thanks

Hi everyone !
First thanks for the great job on the .exe of this fabulous game to enjoy the wide screen suport : ) !
I've a problem with it anyway. Simple I guess, but I can't resolve it By myself :

The patched "exe" from this site put the version automatically to 1.54.75000, wich is the last patch for the diamond version. But the steam version, Platinum, is just in v1.52.64763.

That means I can allready take my old save (from v1.52...) and play with the new exe rom the site, but I can't take the new save made with the exe on this site and play it with my original exe. The game check and say that the version of the game is more recent than the actual game.

That is a bit annoying in many case :
- I've an other computer wich is in 4/3, so I can't use your exe, and so, I am not able to play with the saves I did with the exe from this site.
- Because the version of the game is not the same, I can't connect with the others in LAN (lol, yes between my new pc -with your exe- and my 4/3 old one -still in 1.52...- ).

What I though to go through each problem :

1 - It should exist two version of your exe(s)
one in v1.52.64763 and
one in v1.54.75000
(This way we could simply managed by ourself the exe we want, and be able to open the save by ourselves.)
+
2 - Include in each the "original" resolution that are allready in the game settings
(If it was so, I hadn't post here, and replace the 4/3 exe from my game (v1.52) by the new 4/3 exe from your site (1.54) on my 4/3 computer and be able to play LAN : )

Thanks in adanced, hope you'll can help me ^^

Hi Everyone, I post this to explain and to resume a bit.
I hope it could help and will be as clear as possible !

First thanks to jackfuste, he did everything. Everything I do is just a condensed recap of his work.
Let's now explain some things you have to know :

• Spellforce: Platinum Edition (Steam) up to date is v1.52
• Spellforce: Diamond Edition up to date is v1.54
• The patched files from jackfuste are v1.54
• It's OK to replace the Steam v1.52 with the 1.54 from this site, the game works like a charm, no problems
• The Patched file you choose have to match exactly your Desktop Resolution (not only the ratio) or you'll have the "up date your drivers" pop up /crash.
• Patched files automatically change the resolution of the game, don't try to change it inGame next.
• To play on LAN every computer must have the same version of the game. Cf my problem above, I've only the steam version and one of my computer is on a 4/3 Desktop, so jackfuste (nice of you) gives me the "Original" exe v1.54 (4/3) that allow me to set all my computer with the v1.54 (some in WideScreen, some in 4/3) and enjoy the coop / Deathmatch mod !

Now you know everything, here are the latest files (from jackfuste, again thanks to you!) :
(this are *.7z files, open it with WinRAR or 7z):

This last one contains Spellforce.exe for :
1024x600
1280x720
1280x768
1360x768
1366x768
1440x900
1600x900
1680x945
1680x1050
1920x1080
2048x1152
2560x1080
2560x1440
2560x1600
(Remember, again, that it must fit exactly your "Desktop" resolution to work)

I hope it will help : )

What about larger resolutions? Resolutions like 3840x2160/'4k' are becoming increasingly popular.

Can someone do 1920x1440 and 2880x2160, pretty please?

Hi, jackfuste,

Would you consider sharing the procedure you're using, even if it is a cumbersome one?
If not, would you consider making a 5760x1080 (triple 1920x1080) binary?

I've got a gog install.
Clean, untouched binary at

Many thanks

Could someone reupload the patched binaries?
