Hi
I joined this forum for exactly the same reason
Can someone upload a widescreen fix for 1920*1200 for Zeus+Poseidon?

Every link I found is dead and I went through the entire thread.
Why don't you upload it to the games database? Would be easier...
Thanks

Hello everyone,
Recently I decided I wanted to play this game again and try to get it to 1920 x 1080, so I found this post. When I downloaded it I got the error smackw32.dll is missing from my computer, do any of you know how to fix this?

Dear jackfuste, I just registered on here to say thanks. Thanks for the great work you did. It's really amazing!!!

Just a little question: I am playing Zeus&Poseidon in 1280x720. The game works perfect but there is a small blackground area in the bottom right corner. Is it only on my version of game and I must live with it?

Once again thank you very much for what you did!!!

Hello, jackfuste! I trying to find zip with hi-res Zeus, Triada version (Russian). You wrote "For russian version 2.0 (Triada) - Files available from https://community.pcgamingwiki.com/files (search there)

Hello jackfuste, can you please make zeus for 21:9 screen? 2560x1080

I just installed Zeus and Poseidon after buying it in a GOG sale. I then downloaded the 1920x1080 widescreen fix and started playing. Everything seemed fine until I tried clicking the "view world" button on the bottom-right of the interface. That caused the game to crash. I repeated it a couple of times to make sure it wasn't a one-off.

Edit: I figured it out. The problem was that I had downloaded the modified Zeus.exe from a .7z archive that didn't contain the DATA folder. The game was trying to access missing assets. Never mind.

Hi, guys!

I want to learn how to make my own patch for Caesar3.
Because the one here seem to not be working.

The game is just "not responding" when I start it.

Could I get some pointers?

Thanks,
JJAlexander!

Hello guys, you can have Caesar 3 with 1280x1024 resolution?
Or you can have the zip package of caesar 3 with all resolutions as Pharaon, Zeus and emperor?
Thanks for collaboration

Hi, can I request a widescreen version of Russian localization Zeus Master of Olympus Poseidon Expansion from the publisher of "Soft Club" version 2.1.4.0? Here is a link to my. exe file

I need 1920*1080 version.
I would be very grateful and will make a small donation.

Hi,

First of all i want the say THANKS to Jackfuste for all the great work done on the resolution fixes made for all the city builders.
Might i please request for a widescreen fix for Caesar 3 in the resolution 1440x900. My sons monitor uses this resolution and it would be great if he could also use a widescreen fix. Thanks in advance, i would really appriciate it (and my 12 year old son too )

[dipaksomak]

thank you all for these patches. I used to love C3, and now my sons (15,12) are both hooked.
thank you!

Сan I request a widescreen version of Emperor: RotMK from the Russian publisher '7Wolf'? I have attached the appropriate file in the post. I need 1920x1080.

[Gadgeteer]

Hi, Dear jackfuste, I ask you for help to make zeus-rus.exe Russian version of the game Zeus + Poseidon in high resolutions 1280x1024.

Greats Thanks.

Hey,
I tried to play c3 on win 10 and had big problems to play it in the resolution 1920x1080.exe, because there were heavy sound. If you want to play the game, the sound loops every 5 seconds. I read about this issue on gog.com too. After hours of trial and error i solved the problem with a virtualmachine win 7 in Vmware (the only programm that supports native resolutions). There you can play in full hd (or other resolutions which you can find here) and play it with no sound issue´s^^

It was my dearest intension to tell this to all c3 fans

P.s.Thanks a lot, to the guys who made it possible to play in widescreen-resolution

yours sincerely,

janmorice

Hello everyone,

I made a patch so Caesar III will work at 2560x1440 (that's the resolution of my monitor).

Known bugs:
- When querying a tile, the query window always appears on the upper left corner;
- The trade map is buggy (the world location doesn't match the cities), but it works;

I would be glad if someone could help me fix those bugs.

On a side note, the game still works on Win10, but requires WinXP SP3 Compatibility mode as well as 16-bit color mode.
If the message "Loading sounds..." gets sticky, simply press "Exit" on the main menu and then answer "No" to the dialog box. The "Loading sounds" message should then disappear.

1366x768 resolution is not supported by the game. You can try 1360x768 - c3.exe (mirror link)

I have tried the 1360x768 on my main laptop - and both that and the 1920x1080 work correctly (thank you so much!), but my tablet does not support any sizes other than exactly 1366x768. So 1360x768 doesn't display anything. I tried changing any references to 1360 to 1366 to see if that would be enough, but it screws it up (not sure of the name of what happens, but everything goes very diagonal), so I don't know what other changes would be needed to sync it, or whether it's possible.

Basically, is there any way of having a 1366x768 version?

[Chuck Boris]

Hi dear Jackfuste, there are some visual glitch in the French version of Pharaoh Gold due to different text length and accended characteres.
It will be awesome if you can make a 1920x1080 and 1366x768 specific version.

Greats Thanks in advance.

In the meantime, why not try gaming in borderless? It may spread proper where fullscreen fails (no guarantees).
1. Get game windowed.
2. Use Borderless Gaming (BG) to spread the game full, whatever width/height you want (your fullscreen values).

I like the idea - but unfortunately, if I set Caesar III to windowed mode, it works until I close it (and BG appears to work fine too). But once I close and reopen it, there is a visual glitch making it unusable. This keeps happening until I set it back to full screen. So I can't really do that every time I want to play unfortunately.
