First of all, thank you -- the widescreen hack works in general, however there is one major annoyance: whenever the game does a "fade out", i.e. when starting and ending battle, the screen goes black for a second, and during pep ultimates, the screen has white fade outs multiple times... those were supposed to be fullscreen, but now with your hack, they are aligned to the left side of the screen and fill only the old 2560x1440 area, instead of being a fullscreen effect.

This means that ~2/3rds of the screen regularly black out or white out a number of times during combat, and upon area changes... this is insanely annoying and immersion-killing, so the big 1.000.000 dollar question:
Can this be fixed?

Apparently this is also tied in to the splash screen and menus being aligned to the left side instead of centered/fullscreen, even the crafting result popup (Success/Perfection) is off-center, and second screen shoes the white fade outs while crafting also with the same visual bug.

Screenshot to demonstrate the effect during battles and area transitions:

Since I am now synonymous to my question if you could edit the Exe so it is for 16:10 Währe the super because the game synonymous not 16:10 Supports next to Ultra widescreen

It's not a patch, it's a hacked .exe -- you need to replace the game's original .exe with this one... but since this seems to be new to you, first of all and most importantly: back up the original file!
That makes it much easier to go back and forth, since then you have the two separate .exe files and can just swap them out.

I don't know what exactly you meant by "extracted to game file", but you need to make sure to put the new .exe file in the exact same directory the original one is in, which is found in:

Code: Select all

\steamapps\common\DRAGON QUEST XI\Game\Binaries\Win64\

After you have done that, you should only need to set your game in the internal options to fullscreen after having loaded a savegame, and you should be set. Well, "set"... aside from the major glitches still in this first iteration.
