Widescreen Gaming Forum

Wow, love the software. Use it for many games. However, it seems like there was a recent update to COD:AW, will that be fixed soon?

New to the forum and really pleaed to find it- blew the dust off a triplehead2go I've had sitting around for three years or so and setting it up again thanks to WSGF and Widescreen Fixer. All works fine and can get Win 7 to display across three monitors and Powerdesk GXM sets bezels up fine BUT I can only get CoD:BO to run on right hand display- if I apply widesecreen fix with hotkey, I can see change in ratio on that one screen (and WSF confirms fix applied) but can't get CoD :BO to display across all three screens- any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Whenever I try to play World at War with WSF the application crashes, but on any other game it's fine. Any solution for this? Event Viewer doesn't give me much to go on or what the fault is.

The Witcher 2 doesn't seem to work in 21:9 no matter what I try. I have the 3.4.0 version from GOG.

Yes, I am currently using it with Dead Space 1 and can confirm that it works.


This program is really great, the only suggestion I'd make is to add command-line option to specify which game plugin to use at startup.
Then anyone can have a macro detect when the game is launched and run "Widescreen Fixer.exe" --plugin "Dead Space" (or something like that)


That or be able to easily select the game with only keyboard, right now you can't press D to jump to the games that start with D like a normal windows app form, you can only use the arrows to manually go through each game.

Hi,
Try connecting a 2nd monitor before applying the fix.

This worked for me. You can disconnect the monitor after and leave the settings as is.

I set Widescreen Fixer for CINEMASCOPE.

Note that loading screens and videos are still in 16:9.

Also, if you have a blank screen and just the sounds - the game is on - press '*' or disable the fix to see the screens. Go to the main game area/enter the game and re-enable the fix. It should work.

Dopefish thank you again for the last fix on COD:AW, but it seems like there has been another update. Hopefully a fix will come when you are ready.

ah all my problems are solved with this

Just an FYI but many if not most of the games do not work with this tool on windows 10. MW2/3 MP do not work. Neither tomb raiders work. Something with win10 is preventing your tool from working. Any ideas?

escrotumus sounds like hook is blocked. When game loads, what text does WSF show in its status box?

Did you try running WSF
- as admin?
- in compatability mode?

Failing that, could try above on both WSF & game.

It says the fix is active and enabled in the status area but the screen FOV never changes in the game?? The single player works but not the multiplayer. Curiously enough the flawless widescreen fixer works in MP for MW2 but not MW3. I'll try the admin and comp modes but I don't think it will work. In fact I think I already tried running MW3 in Win7 comp mode and it didn't work. I'll try again though.

Pretty sure the devs of MW have gone out of their way to break fov changes. It's unlikely anyone will write a fix for it again as they've started banning for fov changes.

No dice on comp mode and admin, didn't work. I hadn't heard anything about FOV bans. That would suck if true...

Any chance you'll add Black Ops 3 in there soon?

Doesn't work in win7 anymore with newer drivers either. I'm guessing nvidia did something with their drivers which prevents the dopefish fixer from working in any games now and dopefish is MIA to verify. I'd say that the widescreen fixer days are over. Bummer.

I can clearly say that both WSF and FWS are working like before on both Windows 10 and Windows 7 using the latest nvidia drivers. Nothing change.

I can't really see how a GPU driver might block them:) Whatever is happening on your PC something else is causing it...

It's not working trust me. It does not work in win7 or win10 on this box on cod mw3 or cod mw2. The only thing that changed was the video drivers. The other guy's fixer works for 2 but not 3. Cod2 MP does work still. Some games do but some don't.

I hate to ask, but can we please get a fix for CODAW on single player? SP was fixed in previous versions of WSFixer, but it got dropped a couple releases back and now only MP has a fix. Sometimes you just wanna play the game and not MP....

Can you please add Guardians Of Orion support with FoV ? The Devoloper doesnt seem hes going to add FoV because of "balance" when everyone can open it fml. So please just do it.

In the meantime see the detailed report for details on changing FOV behaviour to Hor+.
