Multi-Game Widescreen Fixer

[dopefish]

I uploaded r671. It has some HUD improvements but there's still more to be done. In single-player the HUD is centered but there are still various things that are stretched out, and maybe some other things I haven't ran across yet. In multi-player the HUD is shrunk to the very left screen, and some elements are still stretched out.

Thanks for all the hard work Dopefish. Really appreciate it.

I just tried r671 and I noticed some elements missing:

-the "x" in the middle of the screen when you're hitting the enemy
-the points you get when you kill him
-progress bar when you're taking a flag in domination

Read the posts above, its a work in progress. Dopefish is working on this during his free time. He doesn't get paid to do this.

You can change that value in the config file, look for this line seta cl_maxPing “800″ and change it to your preference.

Mouse Pointer Travel issue with r671

Dope and Forum,

Fantastic job, Dope. No more motion sickness.

I'm having an issue where the mouse pointer will only work on the left monitor and about halfway into the center when the Widescreen Fixer tool is launched on version 671. Its a hard stop like the game thinks that's where the monitor ends. This occurs in them menus and game.

If I close everything down, open steam again, launch the game and change the resolution manually to 4800x1200 without launching widescreen fixer the pointer works on all three monitors.

I deleted r671 and loaded r669 again and everything works as it should which tells me there is some type of incompatibility with 671.

This occurring for anyone else? Any ideas on the fix?

Not sure it matters buy I'm using a Microsoft x8 Sidewinder mouse.

Let me know if you need any more info.

Thanks!

Hi and thanks Dopefish for all your hard work. It is truly appreciated.

I get the FOV fix but is the game still only on one screen in surround? I don't see an option to go to my native 5940 x 1080. Is that something we need to do in the config file somewhere?

Thanks

Mark

The mouse not working is kind of normal for CoD actually. You can still use the keyboard to navigate all of the menus just fine.

I'm still working on centering everything. I made some decent progress earlier today on the SP side. I'll see what I can do in a little bit.

[evil137s]

they just updated ghost will r671 still work?

[evil137s]

FYI r671 is no longer working after the game patched

[Funkengreuven]

Yep, whatever was in that 16MB patch caused it to quit working. The fix still shows as active in fixer, but no dice. I had the game set to "do not update" for this very reason, but that didn't help. It will not let you play the game unless you accept the patch...

I uploaded r673 that works with v3.2 and has more HUD centering for both SP and MP, but it's still not all there yet, especially MP.

Back in business! Thanks!

[dopefish]

I uploaded r674.

It's getting there. SP is almost completely centered now. Other than the main menu and some objective/mission text it seems like it's all there. I had the rest of the stuff sorted out but crashed the game and didn't feel like looking into it any more tonight. As for MP, the HUD is not centered yet but everything is scaled correctly (minus the markers). I had it all centered at one point, as well, but switched back to work on SP to try some things out.

I'll work on this more tomorrow. It's almost done.

thanks for your hard work Dopefish! I update to r674 and also updated my driver to the latest beta from amd.

The elements I talked about are back! but I'm still having the problem of low resolution. I have 3 1440x900 screens, I changed the config file so max height is 1000 and max widht is 5000. the game offers me the following resolutions: 4508x900 (benzel compensated), 4320x900 (original), 4004x800, 3840x800...

If I run the game windowed at 4004x800 it looks good! there must be something about the fullscreen or the max resolution. Maybe it's just my card (hd6950). If somebody is having the same problem please share.

Thanks again

I'm no expert, but it may be a function of the max res & ratio in the config file & what's selected in the game. I play everything at 5892x1080. Not on purpose; that's just the bezel-corrected resolution that suits the way my panels are aligned on the stand. I noticed you set the max res at 5000/1000 in config file. Try setting the max res in the file to the exact bezel-corrected resolution you use & see if that works?

seta r_displayMaxHeight "1080"
seta r_displayMaxWidth "5892"

I also set the following: seta r_mode "5892x1080" manually. I put 5892x1080 in both places. If it changes it back, try write protecting the cfg file as a last resort. Be sure to set the aspect ratio manually too. This affects image quality too in this game.

And last, one thing I noticed is if I have the "Image Quality" setting on anything less than "Extra" it looks like shit...I mean a HUGE difference! I had every other setting maxed out and 4xMSAA on and it still looked like shit until I noticed it wasn't on Extra. I don't know exactly what "Image Quality" does, but it's drastic. Turn other stuff down if fps suffers.

Like I said, I'm no expert, but the above is what worked for me.

Thanks a lot! THIS IS THE KEY SETTING.. I was being conservative and didn't want to put it on extra. Now is working perfectly. Thanks Funkengreuven and again thanks Dopefish for your great work.
