Widescreen Gaming Forum

Here we go again, beta patch posted. Probably not long before it goes live.
Make sure you have backups!

If anyone is still reading this thread, can anyone provide me what their performance numbers are like (FPS) at full widescreen resolution?
Even without mods I seem to be getting 20-25fps max around Whiterun on my 5870 1GB at 5760x1080. Single monitor I'm in the mid 50's to 60(cap).

I'm ...

HaYDeN,

The fix works brilliantly, now I just need to update my video card from my archaic single 5870 1GB so I can actually play at greater than 30fps. Thanks again!

Did Skyrim update today? Now as soon as Widescreen Fixer enables, the game crashes to desktop.

Yes, yes it did. 1.5.26.0

I highly doubt it;)) Read-only is to prevent writing inside the file not changing the file alltogheter (at least on Windows)...

I actually have my TESV.exe set to read only and steam has honored it... same with my skyrim.ini and skyrimprefs.ini.

I made a backup copy anyway just in case ...

It went live, then they rolled it back, then it went live again... honestly not sure what Bethesda is doing right now... for now I just set my executable to read only and have an old copy I'm going to use.

[quote]Crap, I just saw Skyrim do another update... and now all my mods aren't working anymore. Once I sort the mods out I'll see if the fixer still works.
When I saw that you said that, I checked and I too had an update. 20 minutes later I looked and Skyrim has just updated a 2nd time in the ...

Crap, I just saw Skyrim do another update... and now all my mods aren't working anymore. Once I sort the mods out I'll see if the fixer still works.

I actually made a backup of my 1.5 exe now, so once Helifax's fix is in I shouldn't have to worry for a bit. :)

No surprise they ignored my post... however the 680's look pretty good. Wonder how long until the top end cards come out GK110(780?).... I find it interesting they called this the 680 instead of a smaller designator.

Nvidia shows off the GTX 680 and Skyrim running in multi-monitors. I hope this means there will be a fix soon.

Check it out

I actually just posted in the comments on the geforce.com article asking if they are using a patch or if there will be some sort of native support. Looks like there ...

Skyrim is next on my list.

And with such a release will come Open-source goodness of the plugins - as they are written in LUA...

Thank you for the update HaYDeN! That is great news.

cool... another new patch... let the new search for the perfect wide screen fix begins... all over again for the 11th time... i am SO tired of this... sigh....

Agreed, I'll be honest I got this setup because I figured "hey, developers should be able to code their games correctly for widescreen ...

Only problems I have with the new fixes are known issues (sometimes I have to double tap tab to fix alignment of crosshair after reading books... etc) but other than that its working great. Thanks for fixing what a bunch of suits(Bethesda) can't.

sometimes after coming out of map, the compass and stamina move to left screen, quickly toggling TAB will fix it until next map viewing.

i am having trouble getting it to enable durring the bethesda movie, i have to tap the button a dozen times, otherwise it doesnt enable.

i have been ...

[quote]Well don sir! :)

I'm getting a strange camera angle/FOV on the showracemenu, both when starting a new game in character creation as well as when accessed via console. The camera angle is at belly-button height rather than face height. Otherwise, works beautifully. :)


This is the ...

[quote]Hi all,

Doing some minor tweaks and the fix will be ready:)

Fixed so far

- Books , no longer require a toggle. Now work 100% (Scrolls too). Minor bug found when using Xbox0360 controller: After viewing a book the hud moves to the left. It can be repositioned by pressing Start ...

I am working on it - I need a delivery mechanism first and that has been what I have primarily been working on, ignore the odd control colors and placement, its a "test suite"

Awesome! Can't wait to see the finished product. For the moment I've just reverted back to single monitor but ...

So as far as I am concerned he is fair game.

My favorite quote from Mr. Deitrick's post ...

Hi all,

Hayden has had an unexpected high load at work recently and is working hard on getting a fix out for you. He hasn't forgotten about this and is spending every spare minute he gets on it. Hopefully he'll have something released very soon.

Thanks to Helifax for your hard work trying ...
