The newest version of Widescreen Fixer doesn't seem to be working any longer, does anyone know if that small patch today changed it? It shows that the Game is running, the fix is enabled.. but left HUD position stays at 0. The HUD width shows at the matching resolution - 5976. Any ideas?

Good news for those who wanted a centered HUD. One of the upcoming updates to the game will feature the ability to customize their HUD. And it is not limited to the scale size of the HUD elements but rather... its placement! Followed the news via Blue's News to their official site and then to their video trailer here:

Looks like there won't be a need for a fixer if what we're expecting holds out. In either case, it's great that the devs are listening and that this solution (a very good solution) is being implemented. HUD customizing FTW!

I mentioned this a few weeks ago, thank goodness they came out with something official. I will never forget the time and effort but in by Dopefish and Helifax!

^ SO is that Hud stuff working right now? Or are we still going to need a fix? Because in 1.1 I get lockups and hard locks in surround and crazy weird graphical glitches, as well as my hud isnt centered (Obviously).

Still need the fix. They just showed what is planned in future updates, but soon we wont need them.

EDIT: I just verified that the latest patch has broke the fix, unfortunately. Hopefully we will get a new update soon.

There has been a fix since yesterday. for 1.1.0. http://www.widescreenfixer.org/test.php. I probably should have checked before posting.

EDIT: Cant get it working at all. When I hit * it just turns it on with doing nothing. Sent him an email.

It's broken with the quick patch they did for the PVP exploits,
Difficult for him to stay up to date with all the patches.

He responded saying he is aware of the patch will have an update later. Site says to email him so I did :D.

Sorry for the delay. A new test version with support for v1.1.0a is up for download.

Tip: in the future, if you ever see the game getting a patch or files are being downloaded, assume that Widescreen Fixer will no longer work. The best thing to do in that case is get ahold of me through email or twitter and let me know. While I typically get a ton of email whenever there is a new version out, it's better than not knowing there's a new version at all. it also gives me a chance to personally reply to each email letting them know that an update was released. :)

I just downloaded the new version 3.0.233, when I hit the hotkey to enable the fix the game instantly closes and drops me on the desktop.

I am running it as administer, Eyefinity using HD6970 on a 3x1 landscape.

Redownload.

Awesome! it works great. Thank you for all your hard work!

So gotta admit I am a complete noob to the triple monitor thing and well having an issue with the fixer. DL'd the latest client got fixer running. But when I activate it nothing happens. I am running SWTOR on 2 GTX560ti with 3 monitors. Heres where it shows how new I am. Should I be running the game in windowed mode. Fullscreen windowed or Fullscreen mode. I have tried all three and cant get it to work. Also the only way I can activate the fixer is to click on it so that it recognizes me pressing the * key.

Thanks for all your help and awesome job on everything so far. I look forward to seeing what I should be doing

Same problem as the above poster.

Here's some information:

Widescreen Fixer needs to be run as admin.
Make sure you configure the plugin first. It uses automatic detection by default (which only works correctly for NVIDIA users at the moment). You might need to disable automatic detection and input your own values.
The hotkey should work whether you have Widescreen Fixer in focus or not. This may be related to running as admin.
It doesn't matter whether you run the game Windowed, Fullscreen, or Fullscreen Window.
When the game is running, Widescreen Fixer should have two HUD values shown. One is for the left-side location of the HUD and the other is the width of the HUD, both in pixels. By default, when the fix is not enabled, the left side should say 0 and the width should be equal to the horizontal resolution you have the game set to. Verify this before enabling the fix. If either value is not correct before enabled, then chances are something is wrong with Widescreen Fixer.

Firstly thanks for the answers and being patient with the new guy.

So here's where I am. I have got widescreen fixer running in admin and that solved alot of the probs. However, the hud dissappears offa the screen when I activate it and the screen gets no bigger.

I have 3 monitors that are 1920*1080

This is what I did. went to the cog and entered the following . Display count = 3, standard resolution 1920X 1080 (also tried 5860X 1080), and corrected resolution 5860X1081. Also made sure was game version V1.1.0a

any suggestions or am I entering the info in wrong.

Also I am rocking win 7 if that could be an issue in itself

Thanks again

Your normal resolution should be 5760x1080. Enter this under the standard resolution.

If you are using bezel-management, enter the corrected resolution into the next set of boxes. Otherwise, set those to 5760x1080, as well.

When enabled, it should show the left-side HUD as 1920 and the HUD width as 1920.

Hey thanks for this. You good sir (I think ya are anyways) are a genius. The only thing left is that the program doesnt make my side 2 monitors to work, all I can do is change it to windowed mode and "drag" the game across all three monitors. If ya have any ideas to fix that it would be awesome.

Take care and thanks for the third time

The fix for SWTOR only centers the HUD. It does not interact with the game's ability to set a resolution.

Strange, the last 4 builds of this have worked great for me. But this one makes my UI disappear and then crashes the game. I have loaded it twice and am doing everything exactly as before, but it just keeps crashing the game.
