[quote]Needs a Steam fix bad, I picked up this game during THQ sale on Steam but haven't touched it cause of the bad FOV :D

Here's a fix that will hopefully work on the Steam version of Frontlines:
DOWNLOAD STEAM FIX

Would someone test it and let me know? If it's successful I'll add it to the first post.

Thanks I'll put it on the download queue and let you know in a few days :D

Not yet. Other priorities have put my game projects on hold. If/when I discover a fix I will certainly post a new thread for it.

Hmmm, tested it, game "failed" to start..

Thanks for trying. I probably won't be able to fix the Steam version then.

You can add SoftTH to the working column. The new SoftTH 2.0 pre-alpha worked first try 5040x1050.

I remember playing this game triplewide even with the zoomed in aspect and having a blast, now replaying the game with a better FOV should be even better.

Thanks GA!

For the Steam folks, do you suppose if we posted the GA-hacked exe they could try that version?

NOTE: If you want to avoid having to keep the dvd in the drive, you can use Daemon Tools + Mini-Image from the usual place...worked for me.

Help :( I was looking forward to trying this game but I have the steam version and the patch doesn't work.

What are my options? I could try downloading a pirate copy, patching it, and using that... but download limits down here in Aus suck :-

Anyone got any suggestions? When I try to launch the game from steam it dies with the error: 'Frontlines: Fuel of War failed to start (error code 51)'

When I launch the exe directly I get this error: 'Application load error 3:0000065432'

Any suggestions or ideas would be appreciated.

Maybe a surround patched original exe + mini image would work?

Sorry about the Steam version. I don't think it's fixable other than via a memory edit, and that's just a guess.

Obviously if you can obtain a retail version you can use the posted fix. Otherwise I'm out of ideas.

No worries, you gave it a go :) Atleast you fixed it for the retail copy, so now all I gotta do is 'obtain' it.

Maybe a normal exe would work with the steam version? That'd be handy. Problem is I dunno how to get a hold of the original exe... cracked exes are easy enough to find :P

That was tested and failed. :(

FFFFFFUFUFUFUFU....

All Steam's fault :evil:

Off to find a pirate copy of a game I own then :(

I got it all working eventually. Problem was the game crashed somewhere in the first mission :( It was working fine up until then. I think it may be the game at fault though.
Annoyingly, all the pre-rendered cut scenes are messed up too, ie. Vert-
Oh well, it's playable at least. Many thanks for the patch GeneralAdmission.

Glad you have it working now. :onethumb And yes, cutscenes are still Vert-.
(I assume this is with a second copy of the game. If you got it working with Steam please share details.)

I have a new Frontlines fix in development that may now work with the Steam version of the game. If anyone who has the game on Steam would like to help with testing, please post here or send me a PM.

When porting plugins to the new version of Widescreen Fixer, I thought about porting my old Frontlines plugin that I never released. However, I figured there was no more demand for this game as it was pretty much dead on the day of its release. If there's enough demand for a fix nowadays I'll put some more time into porting it over. The only thing holding me back from porting it is that I need to reinstall the game, and it's a pretty hefty download from Steam.

Believe you me, the two-DVD install followed by the inevitable string of non-cumulative patches is a much more... intense experience than any hefty download could ever be ! :tired:

Playing FFOW again reminded me how at some point, I had reasonably high expectations that Homefront would be a good game. Damn you GA.

New tool is available HERE. Now features Steam support.
