The only flaw I can see so

The only flaw I can see so far is that it doesn't allow HUD centering with bezel-correction.

I can't adjust the screen width any lower and part of the text for the health gets cut off. It's not enough to really take away from the game experience but it's the only flaw I've found.

Anybody else getting "The full-screen resolution seems to be limited to at most 3495x1680. On some GPUs, this can be caused by TV-output being enabled. To enable higher resolutions, disable the TV-output and restart the game."

But.. I have a GTX 590 = No TV-output? Or am I missing something? :/
Using Nvidia Surround.

I'll probably make a plugin

Post by dopefish »

I'll probably make a plugin for Widescreen Fixer for this soon, but here are the offsets so you can use them in the meantime.

Screen width: Sam3.exe+EE8B70
Screen width lower limit: Sam3.exe+EE8C60

You'll need to lower the lower limit before you can change the width. In surround mode, the lower limit seems to be 1.0, while in 16:9 it was 0.85.

Once you set the lower limit, you can set the screen width either with the offset above or through the in-game settings. I found that for 6056x1080, I needed a screen width of about 0.95 to center the HUD and not have it cut the edges off.
