Yeah, I just tried to play without it... AHHH!!! I'M BLIND! I felt like a horse with blinkers on.
I'm so used to being able to watch everywhere at once in PvP, I was surprised when I got snuck up on.


A Horse with blinkers on? lol. But yeah its crazy playing without it now.

Thank you so much for this

Post by jbraslins »

Thank you so much for this software.

The only thing that I wish it could fix is FOV issue (i think this is FOV issue, new to 3monitor widescgreen gaming).

When i look into the side monitors, objects appear distorted and a lot closer than they are when i turn to have them in the middle monitor.

I believe some games have FOV adjustments that fix that? Can your tool make such a fix for this game?

Thanks.

P.S. Running 5760x1080 with Nvidia.

My current version of the Fixer is no longer working with the patch today (the 14th). Just wanted to see if there was an eta on the updated version? I wanted to say thanks for all the work on it as I have really enjoyed SWTOR, but it is impossible to play without your widescreen fixer. I don't know if/when Bioware is going to implement the ability to move and pin in game windows and UI, but this fix is essential for all of us running triple screens playing Star Wars.

I'm aware of the update and have it fixed in SVN.

Unfortunately the update came out while I was in the middle of a plugin API overhaul.

I'm currently porting all of the game plugins to the new API and as soon as it's done I'll upload a new version.

It will probably take another hour or two to finish up. I apologize for the delay.

First time user - hoping it helps on SOA hard mode (hard to see that damn spinning thing). Looking forward to trying it once it is fixed for the latest patch. Thanks for making the utility, much appreciated!

Sorry it took longer than expected.

My mind went blank on converting a few plugins.

Anyway, they're all done.

It's a pretty major change within the code, so I wouldn't be surprised if everything starts breaking and falling apart.

I've uploaded the new version with support for v1.1.3.

Let me know how it works out for you.

Hi dopefish,

I am not sure if just me .. but with SWTOR the new 14th version with the new GUI is not working for me.
I have a Windows 7 system. I open the program, select SWTOR go into the options to make sure it's set to the 14th,

Open SWTOR client and it does not work .. Then I look in my Task Manager and the Widescreen program is not responding. I tried this 3 pr 4 times.. even with the game open and it seems that when it tries to recognize the game the program stops working and goes into Not Responding state.

Any thoughts

I am having the same issue. There are two patches today, one appears to be somewhat of a hotfix. Dopefish -- if you were testing with an old copy of SWTOR, then this might be the issue. Your app is actually hanging when SWTOR runs AND star wars the old republic is selected as the game.

I've deleted all old copies, restarted the PC 3 times.. lol. Nothing else I can figure to do.

Same boat here, downloaded the latest client, hangs when I start Star Wars (have to select Star Wars).

Running Windows 7.

SWTOR released a second patch today as well.

Tried restarting a bunch of times, no avail.

I just uploaded a new version that uses a different method of figuring out which process is the right one.

Redownload it, try it out, and let me know. Thanks.
