[quote]Last I checked ( 2 minutes ago) the plugin was still working perfect with the Steam version of the game. both for nVidia and Eyefinity.
Gog or other versions are not supported anymore... since I only have the Steam version.

Be sure to try and enable the fix more than once for it to work... default is numpad *. Apparently it doesnt work from the 1st try all the time.

Thanks Helifax, I'll grab the Steam version then. Hopefully they don't keep updating it and breaking your fix. I'm running 3840x800 so hopefully I don't run into too many problems with my non-standard Eyefinity resolution.

There is nothing wrong with that resolution;)) it will work;))

Last I checked ( 2 minutes ago) the plugin was still working perfect with the Steam version of the game. both for nVidia and Eyefinity.

I did not know that. Was convinced it would only work with surround, oh well, glad to see the author corrected me.

No harm intended. I rechecked and was still working. I wanted to let people know:)

Yeah--I can not get the Witcher 2 Enhanced version to do 5760x1080. With the latest version and latest Flawless Widescreen, it won't auto-detect the version. When I change to steam (manual), it hooks but the game continues to run 1920x1080 in the center. At times I see a little loading dial spin on the far right of the first monitor, but that's it. Otherwise no eyefinity.

Huge bummer! Should have bought the non-enhanced version (but it was on sale for $11.99 yesterday!)

That's a bummer. Purchased my copy new at release (GOG? version)and it auto-updated to enhanced anyway, but that's not the issue. Finally got back around to it and now it's not playable. I installed it again a few weeks ago when I noticed it was in listed in Flawless, and I assumed it would be OK. Back to the shelf with you, problematic PITA. Maybe I'll pick it up again if ... na .. never will. Friggin box set, too.

_________________

I ended up buying it on Origin for $7.50 a couple of weeks ago. I'm running a 680 SLI system now. The game updated itself to version 3.1 and runs perfectly in nVidia 3D Surround with no need for plugins/fixes of any type. Runs awesome. Apparently nVidia helped out with the Surround coding for the game and that's why it works natively on nVidia hardware but not in AMD Eyefinity.

The game developers have always said they'd be open to help from AMD to get Eyefinity working natively but have received nothing. nVidia driver team ftw.

I recently purchased this and it does not work in Eyefinity. I have tried both Flawless and Widescreen FIxer but they do not work. Any help is appreciated. I am running the latest Steam version.

This is really a crap response from that team. *WE* offered to help them, and they declined. You can get basic multi-monitor support by simply using the available Windows res and then fixing the FOV on the vertical. Use the NVIDIA or AMD SDKs for HUD placement and such, but bloody hell, all you've got to do is let the game "run free" and you can decent support out of the box.

Case in point, their decision to use only the NVIDIA SDK for > 16:9 means that the game won't run properly on my 21:9 panel, on either NVIDIA or AMD cards. How's that fair?

I did get Witcher 2 to run on the 21:9. Wanna guess how? I am running the 3x1 NV Surround + the 21:9 monitor as the 4th "accessory" display. If they are all hooked up, the NV SDK will kick in and offer all the Surround resolutions as aspect ratios. I can pick the 3x 3:4 aspect ratio (3x 4:3 in portrait) for the game, but run it on the 21:9 monitor. The 9:4 res produces an aspect of 2.25:1, which is close to the 21:9 aspect of 2.33:1.

So, I can now run the Witcher on my 21:9 at a decent frame rate on my GTX 670, at decent GFX settings - but only because I paid for a 3x1 monitor setup to trick the game into offering the res options. It gives me res options that don't even fit my monitor configuration, but I can co-opt one for my single 21:9.

I'm sorry, but this is crap. It detects three monitors on an NV card and magically makes all these resolutions appear. How about taking all that time to simply read my Windows resolution and code a vertical FOV?

I agree, it is pretty BS that it doesn't work in Eyefinity but is perfect in nVidia Surround. I never would have thought that they could be that different.

It looks each time the widescreen fixer fixes the Witcher 2 for amd widescreen gamers the developers go out of their way to break eyefinity support and only let nvidia's surround work. Any fix around the corner?

Hello, I have a Dell U2913WM.
I've tried all combinations with WSfixer, to no avail.

Would appreciate that if someone finds a fix, share it with others right here.

Thanks

I just tested it with 21:9. (on a single screen on my laptop).

I selected AMD version, set to custom, 21 /9 aspect ration and the resolution to my width of my screen.
In the witcher 2 configuration be sure you select your resolution and 16/9 AR.

Start the game and enable the fix (It is possible it might not be enabled the 1st time) so press the magic key multiple times:)

Hope this helps:)

All in all, my copy is retail, and although base adress is detected and app claims fix is working (in theory) it does nothing, because the exe will probably be differents than Steam's one.

Thanks, Heli

Hey, yeah, probably the exe memory layout is different and that is why it doesnt work... I will update at some point all the fixes to work with pattern scanning so we avoid these issues...and have a more generic solution...but at the moment I am a bit busy with other things...

Hi Helifax, I just recently acquired the retail version of this game (which is essentially the GOG version, except on a Disc) and after installing it I realised that the Widescreen Fixer does not support the 3.3 GOG version of the game. Any chance of a fix for this version of the game? Would it be hard to implement?

Hey there:) No it will not be hard..the hardest part will be for me to download the GOG version:)) from their site and install it also...since it is rather BIG...
But I guess I will have to do that I hope I will manage to do it today...

Hey use the plugin attached for GoG 3.3. It will also be part of WSF with the next release.

Wow, Helifax, thank you so much for this. Works perfectly!

I was actually ready to send you the retail disc of the game

Again, thanks, really appreciate it and all the work you do in this community, especially the Widescreen Fixer.

I am glad that it works

Best Regards

I wanted to finally give The Witcher 2 a second run... but I just saw that GoG already has v3.4 and nore WSF or FWSs' fixes work with the latest version.
Any chance we will get a new version of the PlugIn?

Not working for me, am i doing something wrong?

Just bought STEAM - The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings Enhanced Edition.

1- Open Widescreen Fixer as Admin
2- Steam -> Launcher -> Play

My configuration
(also try different Steam versions and Custom Aspect Ratio 3x16:9, same problem).



Any help pls?

Try in the Witcher 2 configuration utility to put the AR as 16:9 (as in one single screen). Also, in WSF if the nVidia detection mechanism fails (not working) you can select AMD and it will work. I played using the plugin 2 days ago and it worked;)) but only if you set the AR to 16:9 and not another value;))

Found the problem. But no solution =/

Can play it in the 3 screens and 3D but with 5760x1080 and 48:9 in launcher and without WideScreen Fixer. Then it works.

BUT it does not work with bezel (5986x1080) correction resolution. Not even setting custom aspect ratio at the fixer 49.88:9 or 49:9 or 50:9.

Any advice to be able to play with bezel correction? Maybe a .txt to modify?

Why is it so hard to read the plugin description ?:)) or experiment with the plugin... Anyway I hope this helps you...
I am also using 3D Surround and have no problems.

Hmm not working for me =/

All screen black, just the Nvidia 3D compatibility green mensagge, nothing more. Rest all black but game running.

PD: yes running in low graphic 770-SLI and low fps. Need to test some if may raise any option.

Try to enable/disable the plugin a couple of times...Sometimes it doesn't pick up the fix the first time the game starts

I just wanted to say thank you. I stopped playing wi cher 2 because some other game cought my attention. Witcher 2 is one of the best games of the last years though. It should not be missed by any RPG fan and with this fix it is flawless in widescreen!

It is 4 bucks on steam atm btw! Seems very cheap for such a great game.

Is this fix still working? I have an LG 34UM95 and I cannot get the game out of letterbox. I have tried the profile from this thread and the one that came with the newest version of widescreen fixer.

Thanks

Going down the path of installing the game by DVD and patching online, I've had plenty of trouble getting this working eyefinity.

I have just run this again as a prewarmup for Wild Hunt

I know how frustrating it is to want to play an awesome game, but something PC isn't letting you

I'm running AMD and had heaps of issues with this at first but after a few restarts (even with a blank screen/blind exits) I got it.

Starting with low specs and working up might help too.

If anyone is having troubles with running this in AMD eyefinity or having issues from getting it working from DVD, my method and settings below might help you out.

From DVD I Installed Witcher 2 Assassins of Kings Premium Edition and manually patched to the latest versions with the official patches (this was hell). Then I installed latest version of Widescreen fixer (cheers for the plug in Helifax )

From DVD, the patches updated the game to a GOG essentially.

The rest was more hours of frustration and pain of trial and error, but it was worth it

Thanks peeps.

WideScreen Fixer and Flawless Widescreen no longer work with witcher2.exe v3.4.4.1 (GOG)

**Searching thepiratebay for an older DRM-free version that will work. Unfortunately, most of them seem to be repack of the latest GOG.com one

EDIT:
No luck. On 3.0.20054 (GOG) either


Any ideas?

The game just plays on the center screen.



EDIT: x2

Found the DVD iso of the game. Updated it using Patch 1.35, so now my game version is 1.3.7010

Flawless Widescreen doesn't work at all.

"Could not find Resolution injection point, The Witcher 2 may have updated to a version that is no longer supported."

WideScreen Fixer just changed the Base Address to : 0x9C0000


EDIT: x3

Okay, I'm definitely doing something wrong.

Updated the from patch 1.35 to update 3.0

witcher2.exe : 3.0.20054.8512
WideScreen Fixer r736 (Windows 8 Compatibility Mode- Run as Admin) --> Selected Witcher 2 --> Gear --> Selected v3.0.20054.8512 (GOG) --> AMD --> Auto Detect
Witcher 2 Launcher --> Options --> Aspect Ratio 16:9

I'm willing to reformat my computer for this game. Really want to finish this before playing Witcher 3 (which hopefully won't be such a pain to setup)

OS: Windows 8.1 64bit

You need to manually put in your Horizontal Ratio in Widescreen Fixer to match the same horizontal resolution on the Witcher 2 Config Tool.

If you do that and the game loads with sound but no image, you know it is working. You have to blindly exit the game (keep pressing down and then enter to exit) and start the game again.

I owe you and dev both a beer.

Thanks so much!

Hi.
how I can set the resolution to 21: 9???
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XkkuapyeMfQ

Hi guys,
concerning 21:9, I managed to make it work on newest steam version by simply changing the aspect ratio. For me it worked while nothing was selected and with 16:10.

With 16:9 I had black bars, with some others only black screen was displayed; so if you have similar problem with different aspect ratios fiddling with this setting might help.

I just made a funny discovery:

I already had tried to get the Steam Version (Witcher 2: Enhanced Edition) 5760x1080 working with Eyefinity and was almost giving up, until I realized that I had to set it to 1x19 and 5760 as h-resolution.
Then I opened the game and it worked! But the FOV was strange. Then I hit * to deactivate Widescreen Fixer and suddenly I had the game on three monitors and with the right FOV! Completely without the fix being enabled! So it seems like the game can do it on its own, but doesn't "want" to (because it's an nvidia-game? I don't know).
When I hit * again to re-enable the fix, I got the wrong FOV again. So I hit * again and this time went to Windows through Alt+Tab to check if the fix was really disabled (while the game was running on three monitors with the right FOV).

Of course the fix was in fact disabled.
The funny thing is: After I went back into the game, the game was only shown on the middle screen! As if I was running it without a fix (which I was). But hitting * and re-enabling and disabling the fix didn't do anything anymore. So I had to close the game.

The lesson to learn was: After setting 1x19 and the correct h-resolution in Widescreen Fixer, open the game, disable the Fix with the hotkey and DON'T EVER ALT+TAB!

I've been playing both the GoG and Steam Version literally today. They both work perfect for surround just set all your settings and set aspectratio=5 in the user.ini. I hadn't had a problem with this game in years. Sometimes if you use the configuration tool built in it forgets to add settings and resets others. Just always change settings in the user.ini
