Widescreen Gaming Forum

Hi mr Sample,

That's the first time I've heard reports of pink lines being drawn. Could you take a screenshot for me? Also, what "resolution button" was checked in gameplay?

I will have to see if I can find what causes the scenarios to crash.

Hi Chewbacca,

I don't believe you should run into any problems with different languages. The program doesn't path the language DRS so it should work fine.

I will try to work on patching the original this summer. It may take some time to find all the new patch locations in the original game ...

Hi there,

The main screen where you set options before the widescreen gameplay cannot be changed - the way direct draw works it isn't patchable. As this doesn't affect gameplay however, I'm not all that concerned about it.

As for the original game, you bring up a good point. I always play the ...

I have re-updated the first post with the latest patch and instructions after the WSGF database crash wiped out the updated post. The latest release fixes the output.txt errors and the D/L links have been updated.

Hi guys,

Sorry it has been so long since I replied to this, my forum didn't subscribe! I will need to update the GUI a bit to fix the output.txt error, it's uneccesary to output it there anyways. I will update the patcher program and try to post some better instructions.

I haven't quite ...

Please try entering this into cmd.

Hagen,

Didd yout ry the SWGB patch with the latest release of the AOEII cmd app?

TheWiz

There's no reason it shouldn't work accross all three screens. What happens with two monitors plugged in. Also the 800x600 viewport when running the exe happens because u need the batch to run in the right screen mode (1280x1024 option in game)

Try some standard resolutions like 1920x1200 etc ...

Yeah you could run aoe2patch.exe xres yres and it would patch whatever values you spepcified but in order for it to actually work on tripple head you need to get your three monitors detected as one huge one in Wwindows (there's software that does it)

While I am still working on the GUI a bit, you can get the latest compilation I did here.

and the latest patch here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1525839/Programs/AoE2Wide_swgb.patch

To patch the game follow pretty much the same ...

Just use Ctrl + Shift + esc to launch task manager while in the game. It will switch to task manager where you can en the game and restart explorer.

profosor_54,

Obviously in regards to the Direct 3D error something has not patched correctly. Please try the following for me.

1. Try it on one screen and see if it works, then add the second screen etc. Record the best resolution you get it working on, and post any errors that show in the ...

_xFantaSx_,

Are you sure that you are using a NoCD version for 1.0e? I am rather confused as to whether you are implying the 1.0e patches as 1.0c or if you have 1.0c working and not 1.0e. In any event any warning messages etc. would be helpful.

Just wanted to let you all know that after a leave of absence I decided to pick up this project again coming back with a lot more programming experience and I am hoping to make a working SWGB patch. Wish me luck :D
