The Witcher 3 21:9 Broken!

[maxz]

Hey. I have an issue and was wondering if anybody could help. I'm currently running Witcher 3 1.08 with a patched exe for 21:9 compatibility that I got from these forums and it's been working just fine. Now with Hearts of Stone out I'd love to install it, but I can't update to 1.10 because the patch won't install. I suspect it's because of the modified exe I have. Luckily I still have the original 1.08 exe in a backup folder. Now, is there a new modified exe for 1.10 available?

[filipk]

Has anyone have fix .exe for 1.11 patch please?

Thank you for your effort zens! Now I can play tw3 without annoying black bars which I sadly did in my first try. With mods from nexus and your fix this will be a fun ng+ ride.

[jc0123]

My current setup is 5192x1050 (Bezel Corrected) can someone edit the exe for that resolution? I am unable to figure it out.
Thanks in advance.

Edit: Never mind figured it out by myself.

[A13]

O yeah! O yeah!

BIG THANKS to zens and SaskiaAedirn!

[Funkengreuven]

After the 1.12 patch, editing the .exe with the hex editor like this post covers doesn't seem to work anymore. I edited the .exe with hex editor for 21:9 like before and I no longer get cut scenes that fill the 5892x1080 surround resolution. Has anyone else noticed this?

[Ci7rus]

39 8E E3 3F appears 3 times, edit the 2nd one to fix the cutscenes.

[epspl9]

can someone please uplaod the 2560x1080 fix for 1.12?

[hanslanda007]

So after reading the guide from earlier I tried editing the .exe myself for 21:9 3440x1400 and it works.

I replaced the second entry of 39 8E E3 3F with 8AE31840 (simple copy and paste) using Hex Editor, works like a charm and thanks Zens for the hard work.

[Heitor Gomes]

So...Can any good soul please upload the .exe for 3440x1440 ?
Thanks in advance !

[Funkengreuven]

I finally figured out the issue...I was substituting the wrong value. The value quoted in the fix is for 3440x1440. That doesn't work for Nvidia Surround resolution like 5892x1080 which is what I'm using. I used the value of E8 93 AE 40 which is the HEX equivalent for 5.455555 (in reverse order). 5892/1080=5.455555. 5.455555 in HEX is 40 AE 93 E8. Reverse it and substitute and you're good to go for 5760 x 1080 resolution.

[Scarnecedor]

a new update is release

[Heitor Gomes]

Damn, haven't even had the time to play with the 1.12 update and again, it doesn't work. Argh...
Someone, please, could upload the 3440x1440 again for this noob?
Thanks...

[Scarnecedor]

and 2560x1080

[scavvenjahh]

You have to rename the file: delete .3440x1440 or .2560x1080 from the filename and voilà ! witcher3.exe with wolf pendant icon and everything.

[Ambhenry]

Hey guys, hope I'm still in time for this thread!
I've downloaded every single fix here to remove the black bars in cutscenes, none of it seems to work for me
The last fix link provided by Ci7rus got to me with damaged files, I use 7zip to unzip it, does have to do with it? Can you share it again please? Does this fix works with the 1.12 steam version? The only thing to do it's to switch the .exes on the bin folder? Am I missing something?
Sorry for the boring questions, Thanks in advance.
AH.

[sontifx]

Anyone have a gog fix for this for 1.12.1? I need it for 2560 x 1080.

[Lawnmower2]

Hi,sontifix.

About six threads below this one is one entitled 'Grandpa needs a little reassurance'. That's me, and I have the Gog 1.12 version of Witcher 3.

In the second post in that thread I think you may find the appropriate answers to whatever you are looking for. Amoveo gave me help and the relative link for 2560 x 1080, although I used the 3440 x 1440 link..

Good luck.

[pyide]

Patch 1.20 incoming for the last DLC! Not looking forward to broken mods and 21:9 again.

You guys have been real good with the fixes. Is there a post with the hex values that need changing? I'm terrible at finding info.

[Anti-Hero]

Thank you folks for the 21:9 help. I'm new to ultrawide and caught something in Witcher 3 that googling didn't shine any light on. Has anyone else experienced this bug? I browsed the thread and saw no mention of this, so I didn't know if it's unique to patch 1.21 or not.



When pinning formulae the list is pushed out of the crafting UI safezone. I did a little MS paint arrow to point where I believe the pin should be. Any ideas?

[Lawnmower2]

I have downloaded the Blood and Wine Expansion through Gog Galaxy and the cut scene black bars are back.

Is there a fresh 3440 x 1440 exe download I can use to get rid of them? Is that it in the previous post?

Thank you, guys.

[Martan]

Use the mine on top it should work, some guys here confirm it's also for GOG W3.

[Anti-Hero]

Use the mine on top it should work, some guys here confirm it's also for GOG W3.

Can you check your copy and see if you experience the same crafting bug that I mentioned two posts up?

[Martan]

Yop I've noticed it too, that's probably because of the new reworked UI. But it's not that of a problem, for me at least

[Lawnmower2]

Thank you, Martan. It seems to have worked for me in Gog,too.

[Lawnmower2]

I'm also new to UltraWidescreen 3440x1440.

In User Settings I changed the uiHorizontalFrameScale from its current =0.93889 to =1.3 (simply because previous to the 1.21 update I had changed it to 1.3 from its then 1, and I assumed I should do the same again).

Don't know if I should have or not, but everything seems to be still working okay although I also get the same side thing as you show in your image.

[Anti-Hero]

Thanks folks, I just wanted to verify it wasn't anything on my setup.

[Martan]

I'm using these, since I started play on 21:9, it pushes the Witcher medailon & minimap/quest to the borders (top left/right). But I'm on 2560x1080!

uiVerticalFrameScale=1.044
uiHorizontalFrameScale=1.048

[Lawnmower2]

Hmmmm. Do I just play with the HorizontalFrameScale figures till I find one that works fine or is there a way of calculating what it should be?

[Martan]

You can play with it. One value as name suggest changes the vertical other horizontal, bigger numbers means you move the UI more to the sides. But try with small steps 1.02 1.03 etc.. even 1.025 depends on your resolution of course

There could be a way to implement an in-game sliders menu for that - I'm looking in making it.

//
Hm I've managed to done it by some trial & error.

1) Didn't find a way to make it count in more finer gradients (1.04xy etc)
2) Must reload a save to take effect

[Scarnecedor]

new update patch 1.22... fix gone

Will there be an update to the new patch soon?

[Skia_AoP]

Thanks Martan,

I opened up the .exe in a hex editor and I knew I needed to change 398EE33F to 8AE31840. But I am unable to find 398EE33F. I can't use control+f in the hex editor to find it. What is the best way to search for that value so I can just do it myself next time?

[Martan]

Hi Skia_AoP, you can use the guide here - by user SaskiaAedirn.

I'm always linking it just in case I forgot how this game is to be modified too. If you click on the HEX value 8AE31840 in my previous posts =))

Had to make an account just to say thanks! Got my 21:9 yesterday, this fix is excellent.

[Anti-Hero]

Yes, thanks again Martan!

[Martan]

We are here to help each other. And when I launch the game under new patch I'm creating the modified exe for myself so to upload it and share it takes few minutes, and if it helps somebody I'm glad

[Lawnmower2]

Many thanks, martan. Witcher3 is back and running again beautifully, thanks to you.

[happyjunki3]

Martan, thank you! And many thanks to everyone who has helped and kept this thread going.

[George3011]

Thanks Martan, and just in case anyone is wondering, this allows cutscenes to be 21:9 for the GOG version too

[Racsiii]

I also made an account just to tell you how grateful I am for this UW fix. Thank you very much Martan.

[Heitor Gomes]

Martan, I have 3440x1440, does your fix work with this resolution? I can't test right now because I'm at work.
Thank you

[Lawnmower2]

I have a 3440x1440 X34 G-sync Predator and the fix works fine.

[bibpanana]

Hi guys! Could I get one for 1920x810 please?

[Brparadox]

Can someone give me the full walkthrough of this? I've been stuck on this for weeks and I can't figure it out. I'm on the 1.22 patch and I have a 3440 x 1440 panel. I want the ultrawide cutscenes. Someone give me the download link, and tell me how to do it. I will love you forever

Hi There, I'm having wither 3 version 1.07 and i have tried to run the 1.22 version posted by u, it has crashed. I'm using x34 Acer, can you help me to set the solution size correctly running at 3440x1440 plz? I have no issue running at 2560x1440 however the quality is bad.

Really appreciate your help!

[Lawnmower2]

Why not update Witcher 3 to version 1.22, then the fix will work - no?

[ThirdRevolt]

I'm using the 1.22 version of the hacked exe file, but the game just freezes in the opening screen where it says "Witcher 3 is a trademark, bla, bla, bla". It seems to start maybe one in four times after I've restarted the PC and if it does it runs perfectly, but most of the time I can't get it running. Has anyone experience anything similar?

[Lawnmower2]

Very strange.

Can't say I've experienced that at all and I am sorry but I can't think why it may be doing that. I'm no technical wizard by any means. I'm with the GOG registered version and always start with the Screen shortcut.The Trademark stuff disappears very quickly and the next few screens can be space-barred through.

I can understand how this must be very frustrating and I hope someone else may have a suggestion that is of help to you..

[ThirdRevolt]

The exe file is just the regular exe with edited hex values right? What exactly would I need to change for a 2560x1080 resolution? I tried to find the post that had the info, but I can't seem to locate it right now.

[Lawnmower2]

Check out Martan's posts- he is on 2560 x 1080 and it's his fix that worked for me and I'm on 3440 x1440. Try his post on 15th June at 20.19 - and read before that to get the flow.

I did nothing except use his linked fix, although as you will read, I did also tinker with the User horizontal and vertical settings.

You are more than welcome. It's a nice feeling to have been able to help someone else the way I was helped even though it was just pointing you in the right direction. Enjoy the Witcher.

[Darkthunder119]

New patch broke the cutscenes fix.

[Lubitzkie]

It's still working.

I used the Guide on Page 12 but now (Patch 1.24) the String 398EE33F is two times in the file.
Override only the second one.
It's the one surrounded by CCCC3F398EE33F555515

[AngryChallenger]

I used the Guide on Page 12

Thank you, it works!

For the lazy ones, I'll share. Finally found a reason to register.

witcher3.zip

[Lawnmower2]

I must be one of the even lazier ones.

Does Martan perhaps have a 21:9 3440 x 1440 (GOG) fix for version 1.24 yet?

I did try the above link, Angry Challenger, but I received warnings about using the link so backed off. Sorry.

[AngryChallenger]

Hm, I just edited the 1.24 exe with the program listed in the post on page 12 and zipped it. So I guess file-upload.net is the problem - the zip-file itself is clean.

I can upload it somewhere else when I'm home from work or you have to wait for someone else to share.

I tried to do it myself but the screen ended up sandwiched in the middle so safe to say I'd best lead it to the competent folk like yourself!

[Wijkert]

I have followed the guide on page 12 to make my own fix. Using HxD I replaced the 8 characters that come before 55 55 15 40 with 8A E3 18 40. Sadly the cut-sceness look a little zoomed in to me. In the guide SaskiaAedirn talked about 2 different values, but I assume you only need to change one, correct?

[Iscoed1815]

I had a quick go on this yesterday, to check out the FPS, and TBH not sure if I can be bothered to fix the cut scenes!!

Witcher 3 does have 3M support but why not allow cutscenes to span further than 16:9 as an option in the menu at least?

Although on occasion there's weirdness, cutscenes just look so amazing on triple wide wow!

Please make Patch 1.30 Ultrawide EXE for 2560X1080

[Chamzamzoo]

I installed the 1.31 version in my steam folder (which was 1.30) and it doesn't work. the cutscenes are still bordered, but do look the right aspect. Not sure what's going on there?

I am on a 2560X1080 setup also.

[mrramin]

Hi There, I'm having wither 3 version 1.07 and i have tried to run the 1.22 version posted by u, it has crashed. I'm using x34 Acer

[Lawnmower2]

Welcome, mrramin

Are you sure you are still on Witcher3 version 1.07? If you are, why try to run the fix for the 1.22 version if you have version 1.07?

Either use the version 1.07 fix, or update your Witcher 3 (I think there's been quite a few patches since 1.07) and use the appropriate subsequent fix.

Good luck. I have an Acer 34 Predator, too, and the fixes worked for me. I trust you read the whole thread just to get the feel of things. I don't fiddle with hex values- I just apply the fix.

Don't know how computer savvy you are, but if it's any help you could check out my May thread about thirty threads below this one and captioned Grandpa needs a little reassurance and you will see how I was guided through the necessary adjustments. Forgive me if you don't need it.

Let's know how you get on.

[beari]

Sorry to sound like a broken record but im new here. I just installed the W3 GOTY and all the cutscenes and the start screen is boxed from the sides. Im running 3440x1440 with x34, how do I get this thing to work? I just paste the correct .exe in the folder? I used the ones on the last page (1.31) and the one from before that (1.30), neither of them work. Im using Steam btw.

[Lawnmower2]

Hi,beari. I was new only a few months ago.

Did you read the thread I mentioned a couple of posts higher called 'Grandpa needs a little reassurance''?

At the top of this page you'll see Board Index- Gaming -21:9 & Ultrawide. Click on 21:9 & Ultrawide (which is the Forum containing this thread and the Grandpa one I mentioned). Do glance down that thread because the process had to be explained to me. At first I, too, was lost.

Check what version of Witcher 3 you are running -it's that fix version you need. I don't think Steam or Gog makes any difference. Then check where your Witcher3.exe file is.

Download the relative fix, then in the download file change its name so it exactly matches the name of the existing Witcher3 .exe file. i.e., Witcher3.exe or whatever it is.

Then copy and paste it into the folder containing the existing Witcher3.exe file and because the files have identical names you should get a pop-up message saying the file you are trying to put into the folder already exists in the folder and do you want to replace it. You do, and Bingo!

Good luck. Any help to you?

ETA- If I have said anything misleading here I hope someone more knowledgeable than I will correct me.

[beari]

Thanks a bunch for the help! I had done all that except modifying the test-file, but it's not working. I'm asking if all I should be doing is replacing the .exe with a file downloaded from here. If that's it, I've no idea why its not working. Maybe i've the wrong file, at first I used the one on the previous page posted by the witcher, then I tried the on from Athlonxp2400. Neither of those worked. I think im running the 1.30 version.

[Lawnmower2]

Gee, beari, I'm sorry things aren't working yet.

Yes, it's just a question of replacing the existing .exe with the fix one but they must be the same version and for you, the 3440 x 1440 version. Keep in mind that any subsequent patch that changes your version of Witcher 3 means you have to replace the .exe with a revised version of the fix.

If you were running 1.30 and used the 1.30 fix, then tried to play, if Steam then updated you to version 1.31 that would mean the 1.30 patch isn't going to work because you now need the 1.31 patch.

Have you tried running as is online, then checking what version of Witcher3 you have, then selecting the appropriate fix.

Maybe someone else can pin down where it's going wrong for you. At least you can keep trying.

ETA- Probably nothing to do with it but I presume your Acer Predator is set for 3440 x 1440 through a display port, and the Nvidia Control panel (if you are on Nvidia) is showing the required refresh rate. I had to reduce mine to 95hz because I crashed on 100hz.

Just mentioning out of interest - Rise of the Tomb Raider needs no tweaking for 3440 x 1440 on 21:9 although pre-rendered cut scenes are in 16:9. I didn't mind it and didn't find it particularly distracting.

[beari]

So it should be that easy. Well I've done it, and its not working. I presume I was on 1.30, but it changes with the exe i use. I've tried both tho so it shouldnt be an issue. So I just replace the exe in x64 folder with the .exe? Do i need to tinker with the options in the game after i change the exe? Should i just reinstall? Are others playing the GOTY version on steam without these issues? Why did my W3 show im 1.30 if 1.31 is the newest version, shouldnt steam update it automatically? I'm lost, and I really would like to enjoy the game wihtout letterboxes. Leaves a bad taste in my mouth, W3 and Dota2 not working with 21:9, dissapointed in 21:9 so far when it comes to gaming...

[Lawnmower2]

I'm sorry things are still not working for you, beari, but I don't know what else to say. I obviously can't answer for Steam but the version is always shown in the Witcher opening page.

Check the Options by all means to see your choices are connected.

When exactly does the game crash?

Hope someone else chimes in shortly either to assist or to say the fix worked for them.

[beari]

My game isn't crashing, the cutscenes and starting screen are simply in the wrong aspect ratio. The game is working perfectly in 21:9. The version is shown in the opening page, but it changes with the exe I use (if i use 1.31 fix it says 1.31 and if i use 1.30 fix, it says 1.30). Anyhow, it isn't working. I'm giving up, here's hoping the devs do something official to make it work.

[Lawnmower2]

From Amoveo's post to me in April in the 'Grandpa needs a little assurance 'thread to which I referred you earlier and which I presumed you had read.


Removing Black Bars from Cutscenes
Download either the 2560x1080 or the 3440x1440 exe based on your intention.
Find your Witcher 3 exe (Likely places include C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common and wherever you install GOG games.
Take the exe you downloaded and replace your Witcher 3 exe with it (this is totally reversible but you can copy the original exe somewhere else for safekeeping if you feel better.)

Then in order to fix the UI to make it move to the far corners of the screen .

Moving the UI to the edges
Go to Documents\The Witcher 3
Open the User.settings Folder with notepad.
The seventh line from the top should be uiHorizontalFrameScale=1, change it to uiHorizontalFrameScale=1.3
Save the document
Right Click it and choose properties to open up a little properties window for the document
Check the Read-only box and click ok

You say you've done everything - but I'm just checking you did these last steps re the UI.

[beari]

I did the HUD thing, but it has no effect on cutscenes. It does, however, move the hud elements offscreen so i just leave it at 1. It seems like the fix should just happen by replacing the .exe, and it's not happening. It seems you are playing the vanilla W3 from GOG. Don't know if the issue is with the fact im running the GOTY with Steam. I really do appreciate the help, it's just not working for me.

Hello, Widescreengamers!

I am also using Steams GOTY Version (What is only half-correct, because I bought witcher 3 Vanilla + all Addons, which in fact with Patch 1.31 is exactly the same), and am experiencing exactly the same issues as beari. All done as intended, fix doesn´t work. Also when I change the value to 1.3 parts of the UI are offscreen.

Would be extremely thankful if somebody found a fix.

Screen is an Acer predator x34a (Sorry, will add a signature in the evening)

edit: I somehow felt sorry for beari, as he seemed to be alone here with his problem. which always has a smell of "done something wrong". Either he didn´t, or we both suck

[LunoVonFancala]

Hello widescreen fellows,
as Garwinski said above the links are broken so here is 1.31 exe for 21:9 I have created.
Works for 2560x1080.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5m65G ... sp=sharing
For future if new update is out just open exe with Hex editor e.g. HxD editor and replace second occurrence of 39 8E E3 3F with 8A E3 18 40 than save and play .

[silentmin]

Works perfectly.. Thanks a bunch!

[TheWitcher]

My links still work just fine for me! Maybe it's a regional thing with filedropper...?

[Guest]

Whenever I use a fixed exe for the cutscenes (3440x1440) the lips of the characters don't move, using german language, if I switch to english it works again. Any help?

Yep me too.. the fixed exe causes characters to talk in telepathy. need a fix.

Ok, so I am not the only one.

edit: GOG v1.31 21:9 lipsync fix in this post

[Dippeggs]

Could I get one for 2560x1080 with the lip sync fixed please? For English.

I just noticed, there's lipsyncing for the main game, but not for the DLC's.

Thank you for adding my request. However, talking is still bugged for the DLC quest and stories. Any ideas what causes this? I hear everyone talk, but no lips move, cutscene or otherwise.




Lips still not moving in DLC, but thank you for trying!

[Ex3cut3r]

I have made 2 new exe for gog 1.31...with lipsync...I think...

3440x1440

2560x1080

Should work with any language.

edit: New Versions of the exe online. I cant test the DLC lipsync bug, so please let me know if its still there.

HF
ne0w

Thank you! Works perfectly now for me!

But how did you did it? I tried HxD Editor by myself, but the lips didn't move what so ever.

[Dippeggs]

Ex3cut3r, did any of the expansion pack quest work for you? Were there lips moving? Also what language you playing in.

[Ex3cut3r]

Well I just started the main game, never played it so far. How can I start one of the expansion DLC without messing up my savegame?

I am playing in german language btw.

[ne0w]

@Dippeggs please upload your zipped exe file, maybe there is something different because of the selected language...I switched to english but he wants to download 34gb^^

I tested both DLC's and I have lipsync AND 21:9...so maybe an english (or whatever language you have) exe would help

[Dippeggs]

Here, give it a go. It's English.

I'm still having troubles with this. I'm using 2560x1080 1.31 GOTY version. I used ne0w's exe file above, cutscener are 21:9 but I still get the lipsync bug.

which language do you have? Can you upload your zipped exe file that I can check it for you?

I'm using the21:9 English link you provided just on top of my post.

[ne0w]

I'm using the21:9 English link you provided just on top of my post.

ok I think I didnt said it clearly, I want your original exe, to see if there is something different to my exe files. Just zip or rar your exe and upload it to a site of your choice.

Maybe the exe files differ not only in language...

[Dippeggs]

I don't know how you did it, but that fix worked for me! Thank you!

My bad. Here's my original exe file. https://www.dropbox.com/s/eda1kd34wj4ro ... 3.zip?dl=0

so your uploaded exe is exactly like my exe...I think the difference is not the language. I changed my upper post. Try the GOTY exe this should be the fix.

[Guest]

Your GOTY version finally worked for me!! Thanks so much!

Sorry I'm a bit late to the party I'm absolutely loving the witcher game of the year edition in 3440x1440 apart from the cut scenes which are stuck in 16:9 ratio ..I use steam to play the game.
Does anybody have the .exe file for steam goty edition please apologies if its been posted I cant seem to see it.
Also with the risk of sounding a complete idiot do I just replace the .exe file in my steam library witcher folder?
Thank you very much guys

[Lunanella]

Hi everyone.

It's been a while since anyone posted here and I'm a bit unsure whether I should be reviving an old topic or not, but here I am... Sorry if this has been covered and annihilated elsewhere. I prefer to talk to you guys and gals, anyway.

I've downloaded several of these .exe fixes for TW3 and most of them worked, but for the main game only - any DLC content installed has no lip sync, unfortunately. I own the STEAM GOTY version of the game and play on 2560x1080. Here is my original executable. Everything is perfect, working flawlessly, right up until I talk to any DLC character... It was like that with the "Where the Cat and Wolf Play" quest and now with Hearts of Stone.

I used ne0w's fix, as suggested, and also several others found both here and on /r/ultrawidemasterrace, but the same problem occurs. At this point, I'm unsure whether it is possible to have the DLC lip sync working at all, teehee.

Anyway... This is pretty immersion-breaking for me. If anyone could help me out, I'd really, really appreciate it... Forever and ever and ever.

Thanks in advance.

Followed SaskiaAedirn's tutorial and got it working for me.

If you're reading this and have trouble with what I mentioned on the wall of text above, just give the tutorial a try. It's easy, simple and, well, it works.

I used the GOTY exe you posted and it fixed my cutscenes/conversations however my main menu at the start of the game and cinematcs such as the loading screens still are viewed as 16:9 ratio. Is there a fix for those too?

[Ovelove]

Hi guys...

I know that I'm late to the party, but I couldn't see anyone mentioning editing pre-rendered cutscenes to not stretch.

As I just started running this game in 5760x1200 (3x 16:10), it really bothered me that the pre-rendered cutscenes were stretching outside the middle monitor.

I just wanted to note that editing the "The Witcher 3\content\content0\engine\swf\videoplayer.redswf" header "Display rect" works for me.
I used JPEXS Free Flash Decompiler to modify an extracted swf-file, that I extracted and packed as a mod with Sacren's W3 Edit.

Maybe someone with a similar problem can find this while googling...

[dzee349]

Hi guys, here is the link for 1.08.1.
Always make a backup of the original version just in case.
witcher3.exe version 1.08.1

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And here is my tutorial, with original credit going to zens. I hope the explanation is clear and helpful.

I use this portable hex editor, but you can use whichever you want.
http://www.chmaas.handshake.de/delphi/f ... m#download

Backup the file before you mess at your own risk
OK, on page 5, zens posts this tutorial image:



As you can see, zens changes the floating point "398EE33F" to "CD901840"

"398EE33F" = 16:9 = 1.77778
"CD901840" = 21:9 = 2.33333

However, "CD901840" leaves small black bars on the left and right sides as seen here



To fix this problem, let's look at the specs of our ultrawide
2560:1080 = 2.37037
3440:1440 = 2.38889
So it seems the correct value is closer to 2.38888 than 2.33333. The floating point for 2.38888 is "8AE31840" which I cheat by looking at zens' most recent fix. I have no idea how he convert the numerical number to floating point

Now open the hex editor, hit Ctrl+F and type in 55 55 15 40
Our floating point is always before this group of numbers.



Then simply type in our new floating point "8AE31840"
You are done. Enjoy the game.

Hello! I tried this fix for 2560x1080 and it worked like a charm, however during cutscenes the game has to load into the cutscene (around a 10-second loading screen), and then in the middle of each cutscene when I select a dialogue option, the cutscene needs to load the dialogue option for another 10 seconds. I reverted back to my 16:9 witcher3.exe and the weird cutscene loading was gone, but of course the black bars are back. I made this fix to the non-GOTY Witcher 3 exe installed through Origin, I was wondering if this issue has ever been experienced before or if there is a workaround for it?

[asryan]

Hi,

I'm looking for a fix for Witcher 3, 3440x1440, steam version and I think I have non goty version, the fix I had messed up with lips sync and I want to do this game again

Thanks

[chestfindman]

Hi asryan
The solution for your issue is posted just above your post.
If you haven't solved it yet and If you have trouble following those steps, upload your game executable somewhere and I can do them for you.

I don't hang out in these forums a lot tho, the quickest way of contacting me would be through Telegram: t.me/blondevincent

[Lancasther]

I have the Steam version with all expansions and Im searching a 32:9 patch. Does anyone have the EXE ready?
Besides the SaskiaAedirn's tutorial works on 16:9 / 21:9. What would be the value to put for a resolution of 3840x1080?

Thanks!
