Tippity-top.
Seriously, if anyone has a version that works, PLEASE just email it to me. These rectangular pixels are so not cool.

I am having problems with KOTOR and the widescreen patcher. It will patch and play in widescreen fine, but the selectable menus throughout the game (like which dialogue to choose from, switching to a second character) are missing and makes the game unplayable.

I am having to use Nvidia's beta forceware 84.20 because there is a known problem with KOTOR and dual core processors and only the latest beta makes the game playable.

Is there anyway to make this patcher show the menus in the game?

Thanks

When I run UniWS, I can't enter anything in the "new resolution" fields. It seems that while it *looks* like there are two text boxes there, they aren't actually enabled. This means I can't patch KotOR, which means I'm sad.
Am I missing something? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I have the same problem as you, what's going on?

Did you select KOTOR and a certain interface resolution (800x600, 1024x768, etc.)? And then did you click "Find it for me"? Once you do that, then you'll be able to input a custom resolution.

But no luck for me as there are menus and dialogues missing in any custom resolutions that I make.

I fixed my Kotor 2 problem, but in the weirdest way. First I uninstalled the game and reinstalled without patching. Still won't patch. Next I downloaded a crack .exe and patched that. It all works great now, except the mini-map, but I can acces the big map, so no biggie.

Nothing, apparently. I'm playing it stretched, since no one has condescended to even acknowledge the existence of my first post about this. Great "help thread" eh? :P

Nope. The text boxes cannot under any circumstances be selected.
If your version works, do you suppose you could send me your uniws.exe please?
EDIT: Re: your last post, Bokishi... Were you talking about KOTOR or KOTOR2 then?

I'm using the one found here: http://www.widescreengamingforum.com/wiki/index.php?title=Downloads

But still, the dialog text does not appear on custom resolutions. So I can't make decisions and such in the game or select a second character.

Hello, I have recently gotten the UNIWS patcher to get URU running in 1680c1050 widescreen, but in the new dev_mode.dat file it creaters...settings such as coloring are set to 16bit and textures are set to low... I wanted to know if /bow the creater could change the patch so it max's settings out..but I doubt anyone wants to run it with ani/antialiasing on max.. so preferably a few included modified dev_mode files....

I know how to do it myself..but I simply can't code worth anything anymore.It's quite sad, I figured if I could look at the defualt Dev_Mode.dat through many conversion I could see what each value is in binary/hex then put mine in after converting them and make my own new file but.. I simply forgot everything about conversions.

The person who originally coded the UniWS is no longer active on the forum. If you can provide the details on what needs to be done, someone else may be able to pick it up and make the changes.

Here's the topic specific to Uru

Hi, I have no idea how to use the UniWS :p. I open the .exe file, select the game, locate the game folder, but the Patch/Undo Patch buttons stay inactive.

What obvious problem am I missing?

Can you add Wining Eleven/ Pro Evolution Soccer Series to your list?

This would bring the game to another dimension. Me and whole community would be gratefull for this :)

Certain executables are encoded/encrypted so that we cannot access the resolution values directly.

When an individual creates a no-cd executable for a particular game that may allow access to the resolution values. The UniWs will only work for these games with these types of executables.

Out of respect for this site I will not post links to these executables but there are many search engines that may be able to assist you.

Hope this helps.

I have this same problem with KOTOR 2! Nothing seems to work...

Help would be greatly appreciated! TT_TT

EDIT: I got a fixed exe and then UniWS allowed me to change the resolution!
I miss the minimap and those speech bubbles from random people don't show but I think it's a small cost. :P

still trying to use UniWS on KOTOR2 but no joy. I have an patched game to 1.02b and when I use the uniws program, point to the folder with the .exe in it, I cannot enter anything in the resolution boxes and the Patch, Unpatch buttons are greyed out. Any ideas? Thanks.

I tried to modify Need For Speed Underground 2 for the Samsung SyncMaster T220. It works with the resolutions 1680x1050 and 320x200. By using the first resolution the game is lagging (i have a very slow pc^^) the second one looks a bit poor with a 22'' monitor :wink:
Every other resolutiuon i tried crashed the game or it was only showed in the left top corner. Is it possible to play nfsu2 in 4:3 with a black stripe on the left and right or are there some 16:10 resolutions in between i could try out?

I have tried the patcher with PoP Sands of Time in Prince of Persia TRILOGY for play at 1680x1050. Without crack, patcher WORK!!!!!

I'm trying to do this to NFS Carbon, but I can't get the UniWS to allow me to type in a resolution, so I can't update the game.

I am using a cracked version, and used the "Find it for me" button when manually choosing the folder didn't work. Even after a box pops up telling me NFSC was found, I still can't type in the resolution.

Does anyone know what's wrong?

Thanks.
