it does seem like i'd would like to work, when tabing out before the main menue ("press any button" screen) it does span over 3, but quickly closes it again. and yes i did select the .ini file !


Is there any way to get it working ? i've got Cheat Engine and Gamewiz32 ready....
or Teamviewer/VNC, you can hit me up on IRC mostly anytime ^^

Hmm...

I know that I am using Surround and not Eyefinity (on Nvidia Surround I can't make the displays render the same screen 3 times no matter what I do...) so It might be a driver thingy? I can try and give a look though;))

Teamviewer should be just fine;))

FYI - those that can not get it to work or have it crashing, I had that prob too this is how I run it:

1. * one time to initialize the fix * Run Widescreen Fixer no game running set you settings and make sure you browse to your ConfigDefault.xml and save your settings
2. close Widescreen Fixer
3. Run Risen 3 get pas the press button so that you see all the menu options
4. Alt tab out , launch Widescreen Fixer
5. Alt tab back in the game
6. Load your save file or start a new game
7. now finally alt tab out and then alt tab to go back in , you will notice the huds and menus are all perfect the final fix has kicked in

That is it, don't have Widescreen Fixer running first before you boot the game up, do it after or it will crash or not work(well for me this way works 100%).

Also I run the game in offline mode I doubt this matters though.

Yeah I figured that out too - to run the game first and then run the fix after it's booted. I just wanted to confirm with you that the GUI is still on the left monitor - Helifax said that was the case, but if by some reason you have the GUI (mini-map/health etc) centred? Also the inventory and such menus, they are overlapping for everyone - but mostly centred?

Hello, I'm looking to play Risen 3 in eyefinity 5x1 portrait setup; 5400 x1920. Is there anyway to get this game to work? I've tried messing with the ini files, ect.. Thanks for taking the time to read and reply to this post.

Using Helifax's Fix and manually setting resolution to 5400x1920 does not help?

Sorry, I seen the auto resolution selector picked the proper resolution and thought that it was right. I unchecked the auto detect resolution and noticed it thought i was using 3 monitors. You were right about manually typing it in. worked perfectly after that. Thank for the help.

Now that I got it to work one time. I exited out of the game and it won't start up anymore lol. It goes to a black screen and tries to load like it did the first time it worked. Then it just crashes without any pop up window. Guess the game doesn't like portrait eyefinity 5 no matter what lol.

Latest Steam patch (3rd Sept 2014 - v1.?) breaks Widescreen Fixer. Obviously a plugin update is required .... Hope Helifax isn't done with the game, it's beautiful.

Just an FYI Helifax has fixed this and it is patched up for the latest game patch go get the update @ http://3dsurroundgaming.com/WSF.html

Or direct @ http://3dsurroundgaming.com/img/Plugins ... nLords.rar

Thanks Helifax

Salute Helifax

The patch is pretty nice because it enables to play with 3 screens in surround mode.

But unfortunately, the inventory windows are just behind the bezels and you are unable to read the important numbers (such as price), this makes using the traders impossible.

Love the game! I just checked and there is a patch v1.2 out. Did anyone try it with the v1.1 plugin? Did it work?

Help, tried to do what Helifax says. But it doesn't work. Maybe because the game has been updated since his post here. I'm trying to do Nvidia Surround 3 - 24" monitors. Here are my specs -

Intel 4770k
Asus Sabertooth Z97 Tuf 2
32 gig Corsair Dominator Platinum DDR 2133
2 - eVGA GTX 980's SC Ref SLI \
Intel 750 Series 1.2TB PCIe NVMe 3.0 x4 SSD
WD 3 - 4TB
On board sound
Corsair AX1200i
Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit
3 X Dell E248WFP 24" Monitors

Help please.

I've spent about 2-3 hours trying everything. The recent visual patch borked the plugin - it no longer works at all. Until someone adjusts it, widescreen for this game isn't possible.

That sucks. I did send Helifax a email about this past week. But heard nothing back from him.

Copy all content from archive to Steam\SteamApps\common\Risen 3\

Jackfuste Solution works also for 21:9

Just change the following Lines in ConfigDefault.xml:

Aspect16x9 VirtalWidth="3440" VirtalHeight="1440"

FullScreen="true"

SubtitleLanguage="English"

No need to copy "codex.ini" and "steam_api64.dll"
