Download the modified exe here, put it in WorldWarZ\en_us\client\bin\pc\ and overwrite.

Edit: Updated the main link to the April 20 hotfix .exe version just in case. The original modded exe still works.

I created a table with only this script and uploaded it, in case you find it easier (you need to install Cheat Engine 6.x first)

Like i said i didn't write this script l0wb1t did, so thanks him if you want to, not me.

Widescreen without black bars works fine though, but only offline:(

wwzRetailEgs.exe file version: 0.1.0.13120
md5 prior patch: 0A669A62FFFC13CDEBAF97A0EED23DF0
md5 after patch: 71A6BBFA148E53BA6B6CCE0D0ECB60F8

**edit**
found the issue
Never launch the exe directly, always start the game via Epic Launcher, then you'll be fine & online even with latest uws pached one

Cheers,
Nord

Edit: Updated the patcher (1.04+), main link (1.05)

For some reason the game has been downgraded from 1.05 to 1.04. I'll make the 1.04 version the main one, although it was still accessible through the changelog feature of the PCGamingWiki Files.

The patcher works with both versions and hopefully will work with future versions.
