I'd also like to know if The Witcher 1 works in 21:9, since I have a 34" AOC incoming and planning on playing both games before The Witcher 3 is released.

I know The Witcher 2 has a flawless widescreen fix, but how about this one..?

34" AOC buddy :cheers:
TW1 is natively Hor+, it works in 21:9 out of the box.
Beyond 16:9 all real-time rendered cinematics including dialog scenes are strangely distorted. Setting lighting to Low helps a bit, for some reason.

I suppose there isn't a way to force the game to go into 16:9 mode during dialog/cutscenes?

Not that I know of.
Maybe with the Borderless Gaming app: start the game in a 16:9 window, let BG "convert" it to your native res, then kill the BG process for dialogs/cut-scenes ? If this works it's only marginally quicker than just changing the resolution manually, but maybe worth a shot.

Ah, it has been sometime since I last posted on this thread. Would be nice to see a fix.

Anyone have a huge problem with the large corona in surround mode?

Any way to remove that?

UPDATE: Fixed it by replacing default SLI bits to 0x0240000D. Used nvidia inspector.

Fix available from the PC Gaming Wiki Community Files (search there)

FMV centered and cutscenes work properly.

Works very well. Only issue is that I can't see the quest announcements. They don't pop up any more.

Otherwise, working very good. Thanks!

UPDATE: It seems that the fix causes blue screens. Always having to force restart.

I am also currently playing this game and I've noticed that it breaks the Dice Poker minigame, you can't click on the dice that you want to reroll. Also if I'm not mistaken it makes the "Remains" message disappear after you defeat a monster in combat. Other than that I love this fix, I finally can play the game in surround with non stretched convos, fmvs, cinematics, and with high lighting turned on!
