Witcher 2 fix is outdated

[kingcasper]

Just downloaded witcher2 because it was supported by the app..

found out its not current anymore and now useless..

can a new fix be done please ??


witcher 3 releasing soon im sure alot of new people will be going back to replay.... latest version is 3.4 i think

[Falcon1]

There is a working fix for version 3.4.0 of the game in the Widescreen Fixer!?

[kingcasper]

im using the program "flawless widescreen"

but i did try using another program which i think is the one your talking about and it just doesnt work..


id much prefer the brilliant mind behind flawless widescreen do the fix..

fingers crossed he can

thank you for your reply though

[Falcon1]

AFAIR the Witcher 2 fix in Flawless Widescreen never worked and probably will never.
Just use Widescreen Fixer, works flawless. (Haha...)

[kingcasper]

it doesnt work or i would be lol

[gumbo1919]

Just confirming what Falcon1 stated. Widescreen fixer works flawlessly for me at 2560x1080. Not sure what would be going wrong on your side.

[kingcasper]

if its flawless why cant the flawless app take this fix and put it on the app ?

[gumbo1919]

Just tested Witcher 2 with the flawless widescreen plugin and it worked like a charm.

I don't know what to do.

Tried both widescreen fixer and flawless widescreen and none work with my witcher 2 GoG copy to play at 2560x1080.

All i get is 1920x1080 with black bars on the sides.

I've noticed posts about this on 5/29/2014 saying FWS update broke it so ?? confused.

Help please if anyone knows what to do.

What version? Steam/GoG? Had mine updated to 3.4.0

Currently, I am using the steam version. I don't know why that would make a difference, but I will download the gog version and test that out to make sure. In the meantime, here are some screenshots of my setup. Compare them and see if it helps at all. My gut tells me it might be the aspect ratio setting in the Witcher 2 configuration tool.

Ok, so I confirmed that flawless widescreen and widescreen fixer do not work with the GOG version of Witcher 2. They are both up to date but there is a difference between the two exe files on both versions. Unless someone else has a better idea, it seems like the steam version is the only one that works with the fix. Here is a screenshot of both exe files and the difference. The one on the left is the Steam version and the GOG version is on the right.

Really odd.

[GeneralAdmission]

The Witcher 2 on Steam offers achievements, leaderboards, Steam Cloud, etc. The code for those features could account for the increased file size of the Steam version over the GOG exe. This is just a guess, since I don't own the game on Steam.

Given that a 1-byte difference in exe size could render a memory hack useless, it's not surprising the Steam fixes fail with the GOG version here.

I have the version on the right side although I purchased the steam version. No fix is working for me at all. It drives me crazy..

Can't confirm that. Got v3.4.0 from GOG and Widescreen Fixer works just fine. Did you correctly set your resolution in WSF?

Whenever I try the fix (both retail and steam version) it stay on the center screen and is very compressed like this http://i.imgur.com/4WHb9ND.jpg

also here is comparison to the non fixed version

Could someone help me get this game set up on my brand new Dell U3415W monitor?

For the life of me, I can't get that game to work in 21:9 and I've tried using both Flawless Widescreen and Widescreen fixer. I have the 3.4.0 version from GOG. The black bars remain each side no matter what I do. Never had a surround/eyefinity setup or Ultrawide monitor before so I've no experience about these things..

When using Widescreen Fixer, are you clicking the gear icon next to the Select Game dropdown? If not then select The Witcher 2 and click the gear icon to configure the settings for that specific game.

Yeah. I have been doing that. And I've tried the default settings and forcing 21:9 and bunch of other aspect ratio settings. Nothing works.. :/

Hi guys,
I just bought a Dell U3415W and wanted to get Witcher 2 to run. After fooling around managed to get it to work in 21:9.

Here are the detailed steps with Widescreen Fixer:
1) You MUST have more than 1 monitor connected (tried with just one monitor and it could never work)
2) Don't need to enable Surround
3) Set Widescreen Fixer to CINEMASCOPE Aspect Ratio
4) On Witcher 2 Configuration choose one of the 21:9 ratios - 3440x1440 or 2560x1080
5) the aspect ratio should be blank. If it is not blank - try to enable surround and run the game at least once choosing a SURROUND ASPECT RATIO - 3xreso or 2xreso - anything is fine
6) Once you load up the Witcher 2 - Screen may be blank but you should hear sound.
Use '*' to toggle widescreen fixer on and off
Note that starting videos for me are in 16:9
Once you hit the main game area or arena - press '*' again if required.
21:9 should be working

You can safely detach your 2nd monitor after that. It is no longer required. I tried it. Just don't touch the aspect ratio again after that! (I am assuming)

If you run into problems, try running Widescreen Fixer as Admin.

Anyways, just wanted to help out! It's running great now. Remember, seems to need an additional monitor to get the fix working first time (could never get it to work with 1 monitor connection).

Enjoy!

Note my system specs:
Nvidia GTX660
