so your uploaded exe is exactly like my exe...I think the difference is not the language. I changed my upper post. Try the GOTY exe this should be the fix.

Sorry I'm a bit late to the party I'm absolutely loving the witcher game of the year edition in 3440x1440 apart from the cut scenes which are stuck in 16:9 ratio ..I use steam to play the game.
Does anybody have the .exe file for steam goty edition please apologies if its been posted I cant seem to see it.
Also with the risk of sounding a complete idiot do I just replace the .exe file in my steam library witcher folder?
Thank you very much guys

21:9 GOTY

try my GOTY exe file, maybe it just work.
Yes just replace the exe in your steam folder, but make a copy of the original exe, maybe I need it later to make a 21:9 exe.
If none of my exe work for you upload your original exe to a hoster of your choice and post the link here, i will take a look.

Hi everyone. :wave:

It's been a while since anyone posted here and I'm a bit unsure whether I should be reviving an old topic or not, but here I am... Sorry if this has been covered and annihilated elsewhere. I prefer to talk to you guys and gals, anyway.

I've downloaded several of these .exe fixes for TW3 and most of them worked, but for the main game only - any DLC content installed has no lip sync, unfortunately. :( I own the STEAM GOTY version of the game and play on 2560x1080. Here is my original executable. Everything is perfect, working flawlessly, right up until I talk to any DLC character... It was like that with the "Where the Cat and Wolf Play" quest and now with Hearts of Stone.

I used ne0w's fix, as suggested, and also several others found both here and on /r/ultrawidemasterrace, but the same problem occurs. At this point, I'm unsure whether it is possible to have the DLC lip sync working at all, teehee.

Anyway... This is pretty immersion-breaking for me. :( If anyone could help me out, I'd really, really appreciate it... Forever and ever and ever. :P

Thanks in advance.


Followed SaskiaAedirn's tutorial and got it working for me.

If you're reading this and have trouble with what I mentioned on the wall of text above, just give the tutorial a try. It's easy, simple and, well, it works. ;)

I used the GOTY exe you posted and it fixed my cutscenes/conversations however my main menu at the start of the game and cinematcs such as the loading screens still are viewed as 16:9 ratio. Is there a fix for those too?

Hi guys...

I know that I'm late to the party, but I couldn't see anyone mentioning editing pre-rendered cutscenes to not stretch.

As I just started running this game in 5760x1200 (3x 16:10), it really bothered me that the pre-rendered cutscenes were stretching outside the middle monitor.

I just wanted to note that editing the "The Witcher 3\content\content0\engine\swf\videoplayer.redswf" header "Display rect" works for me.
I used JPEXS Free Flash Decompiler to modify an extracted swf-file, that I extracted and packed as a mod with Sacren's W3 Edit.

Maybe someone with a similar problem can find this while googling...

Always make a backup of the original version just in case.
witcher3.exe version 1.08.1

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And here is my tutorial, with original credit going to zens. I hope the explanation is clear and helpful.

I use this portable hex editor, but you can use whichever you want.
http://www.chmaas.handshake.de/delphi/f ... m#download

Backup the file before you mess at your own risk :cheers:
OK, on page 5, zens posts this tutorial image:

Image

As you can see, zens changes the floating point "398EE33F" to "CD901840"

"398EE33F" = 16:9 = 1.77778
"CD901840" = 21:9 = 2.33333

However, "CD901840" leaves small black bars on the left and right sides as seen here

Image

To fix this problem, let's look at the specs of our ultrawide
2560:1080 = 2.37037
3440:1440 = 2.38889
So it seems the correct value is closer to 2.38888 than 2.33333. The floating point for 2.38888 is "8AE31840" which I cheat by looking at zens' most recent fix. I have no idea how he convert the numerical number to floating point :(

Now open the hex editor, hit Ctrl+F and type in 55 55 15 40
Our floating point is always before this group of numbers.

Image

Then simply type in our new floating point "8AE31840"
You are done. Enjoy the game.

Hello! I tried this fix for 2560x1080 and it worked like a charm, however during cutscenes the game has to load into the cutscene (around a 10-second loading screen), and then in the middle of each cutscene when I select a dialogue option, the cutscene needs to load the dialogue option for another 10 seconds. I reverted back to my 16:9 witcher3.exe and the weird cutscene loading was gone, but of course the black bars are back. I made this fix to the non-GOTY Witcher 3 exe installed through Origin, I was wondering if this issue has ever been experienced before or if there is a workaround for it?

Hi asryan
The solution for your issue is posted just above your post.
If you haven't solved it yet and If you have trouble following those steps, upload your game executable somewhere and I can do them for you.

I don't hang out in these forums a lot tho, the quickest way of contacting me would be through Telegram: t.me/blondevincent

I have the Steam version with all expansions and Im searching a 32:9 patch. Does anyone have the EXE ready?
Besides the SaskiaAedirn's tutorial works on 16:9 / 21:9. What would be the value to put for a resolution of 3840x1080?

Thanks! :onethumb:
