Hey Crudelios,

Ive downloaded the VCRedist 2015 and tried to use the resizer, it doesnt work. Still asks for the DLL file, so ive copied that from WinDIR to the same folder as the resizer (Pharoah Directory) and have tried to run it and i get an error: App Error: 0xc000007b

Using Win8.1 x64 and have tried with Win7 compatibility and still no luck. Also tried Admin Rights. Nope.

Im trying to change it to 2560 x 1080 for 21:9.

Also tried using a Hex Editor to modify but I cant find the values you referenced. *tried with wxHexEditor and Went to Offset 0xcfa0a but it didnt really make any sense to me so i left it.

Will try on a Win7 machine, but at present its having problems doing the Windows updates.

CopiousDelusionSandwich don't forget to install the x86 version of the redist as the x64 version will not work!

Hello everyone!

Time for a new version of the Pharaoh Resizer!

Improvements:

- Massive changes to the empire map. The map isn't duplicated on large resolutions as it was before, and doesn't crash at 4k resolution. See attached screenshot for details (1440p original image).
- Fixed a small bug at the bottom of the screen at certain resolutions.
- Added automatic resolution detection to Pharaoh Resizer. By default, the values will reflect the primary monitor's resolution.

Link to download: http://public.josecadete.net/PharaohResizer.exe

Pharaoh in glorious 4k! Not too practical to play, though.

I'm having issues getting this game to load. I have tried to mess with all the compatibility options. The game acts as if it will load then get an error message.

C3.exe has stopped working
If you could please help it would be appreciated.

DrViagrin did you install the Caesar 3 patch 1.1 first before replacing the exe?

Well thanks for the suggestion. I forgot to check for patches. Anyway I did install it, but it's still giving me that message.

Does the original exe give you troube as well or does it load up fine?

Now that I think about it, I think I had similar problems with one of the 1080p exe's that was available in this forum. Which resolution are you trying to run on?

The original was not working either. In fact after I bought it off steam I had to rename it to an executable file. It had some other extension that would not open. So I changed the extension to .exe, and it started giving me this issue. I even tried uninstalling the program with revouninstaller, and reinstalled it, I believe twice now. Still not working I tried changing the resolution of my computer to the recommended settings given in this forum, and still no go. It just keeps crashing.

That doesn't seem to be a problem with the modified exe, but with the installation itself.

But anyway, what was the original extension of the executable? And what about its filesize?

Hey crudelios, thanks and kudos for the PharaohResizer. Works perfectly! :clap:

Wondering if you've made similar Resizers for the rest of the Impressions city builder games like Caesar III, Zeus+Poseidon and Emperor ROTMK?

Not that Jackfuste's fixes doesn't work but your's addresses some of the UI glitches as well.
