Widescreen Gaming Forum

Problems started.

Whenever i load the game up now i get "encountered an error and needs to close". When i delete the res changer files, the game loads no problems. And it's just suddenly started doing this for no apparent reason :shock:

Worked perfectly before, now i click, and it doesnt load.

Strange! :?:

Little upade. This is REALLY strange. I deleted the files, then exctracted em from the zip and put em back in the Just Cause directory. Now when i load, the game loads, but the "Has encountered a problem" error box becomes a kind of 'pop-under'. The game keeps running, while its saying it needs to close. The mouse is "locked" on where the box is poisitioned in the middle of the screen tho, and as soon as i click, the game freezes and i have to click "Don't Send" to get rid of the box.

What's goin on!?

I'm not sure what is going on ....

Have you been trying different resolutions ?
It sounds like the resolution in the ini isn't correct for some reason ... wrong way round ... wrong digit ... may be ... :?

Literally didn't touch it.

Played the game for a couple of hours. Exited. Loaded it up again a few hours later for another bash, and started getting the errors. Nothing whatsoever had changed. I don't think i even installed any additional software or anything in that time. Just went to eat and browsed the net a bit.

As i say, works fine with the files deleted. (albeit in the wrong res)

Thanks buddy ... 8)

You know what would be great? Support for AOE2 and widescreen resolutions.

can't u guys do someting about that pls playin aoe 2 the conquerors in 1024x768 really annoys me :evil:

Damn..this doesn't work with Cross Racing Championship 2005:-(

Anyone who have tried out and found any solutions to how to run this game in 1680*1050??

Oh my god..I am such an idiot..
There is 1680*1050 resolution option when choosing the resolution you want..blush..
I need new glasses..
But I am not sure that the fov is right in the game..

This resolution changer was made for Just Cause but it may work with other games ... give it a try ...

Just download this rar file and un-zip into your Game folder ... where the games .exe is.

Resolution Changer

Now open up the ... resolution.ini ... file and change the resolution to the one you desire ...

Start the game it may now run in the chosen resolution ... :D

These may be supid questions, but I'll have a go at it.
Will this program void my monitor warranty (3-years)?
Do I have to worry about Punkbuster kicking me from servers (in BF2)?
How about other games?
Basically, what are the risks involved in using this software?
Any info is appreciated.

Will this program void my monitor warranty (3-years)?

I doubt it.

Do I have to worry about Punkbuster kicking me from servers (in BF2)?

Don't know ... and you don't need this to get widescreen resolutions in BF2 ...

How about other games?

Again I don't know as I don't/can't play online.

Basically, what are the risks involved in using this software?

Minimal I would think.

"Removed"

what games are supported?

does this work with nba live 07?

2142 support?

Dunno ... but look at the two stickies below this one to see how to get widescreen resolutions.

Can you make one for DX8 games?

This one only works for DX9 programs...

There are many older games that i'd like to get native resolution support in.

Here's another game it works with: Evil Genius.
See it here :D

Works for Psi-Ops

I've added this to our mirror, and added an entry on the new Racer_S Hacks Wiki page

http://www.widescreengamingforum.com/wiki/index.php/Racer_S_Hacks

There might be a total incompatibility with amBX... I just experienced it in Just Cause. Will have to reinstall Evil Genius to investigate further. :?

downloaded just cause from steam.i unzipped it in steammaps/common/justcause folder when i went to in game settings my highest res setting option was 1600x1200 which is fine(even though that wasnt even the one i choose) it wouldnt let me highlight it. then i got the same inconvenience send or dont send error report the other dude on this topic had. maybe some one can help tnx

Did you set the resolution in the Resolution Changer's ini ?
Any changes won't show up in the games options ... it should just run at the chosen res ... if it works.
To check if it is using your chosen res take a screenshot and see what size it is.

yes i did all the proper protocol. im trying to find the time to download the software (a wopping 4 hrs on steam....!) since i have to reinstall due to apparent errors. presently, i just dont have the time avalable to verify or confirm (hence my haste) but i will take your sugestions into consideration and appreciate your concern

tnx again

Nice tool, but there is a problem - http://www.widescreengamingforum.com/node/5498#comment-121709

Does someone have an idead how to fix it?

I tried to contact with Racer_S, but this seems to be impossible (ToCA edit forums are disabled, e-mail isn't accepting anything...).

You could try to send him a PM ... http://www.widescreengamingforum.com/forum/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=2199

Anybody have a valid link to version 2?

First post updated with a new link to ... Resolution Changer 2

Damn, not working on Sudden Strike games :cry:

Hello,

i have a big Problem with Just Cause. It always minimizes when i try to start it and then it crashes.

It runs on widescreen mode, so it does work. Can you help me?!

Does the game run normally if you don't use the hack ? What's your OS ?
