Hi,

I just ran the latest WSF executable with Helifaxs latest plugin with ver 1.5.26 and the intro menu on Skyrims continue, load game page is missing. Hitting enter loaded the game automatically anyhow but at first non of the menus were displaying so I logged off windows and logged back in and tried it again. Read the instructions again and noted it said to hit '*' in game to load WSF. Not sure if that did anything because initial continue, load game menu was missing but this time after blindly loading my last game the menus are working!

Is there anything I did wrong?

Thanks

If you are running the latest fix, it is all automatic. If you opened the WSF and left it running, it will do everything from there. It may have just been a windows hiccup. .... well now it looks like a trend....

how can i implement latest fix ie where do i put the dll file thx

I guess I'll go ahead and describe specifically why it has never worked for me in case it might help the coders.

What I get with the latest Helifax fix is similar. Weird placing of the opening screen to the left, no HUD's or markers of any kind in-game, and when I press esc for menu, it pops up for a fraction of a second on the left screen and then disappears. I have to ctrl-alt-del to close it down.

Seems to be working now. Maybe it was a hiccup though having an unrelated performance problem. My third 6970 is not being used at all out of the three of them. Using the latest ATI cap profiles too. Works during bulletstorm though. Going to try changing the Xfire profile performance method and see what happens..

Thanks

For all the people who are having problems.. Be sure to configure the PLUGIN FIRST!!

Uncheck and recheck automatic detection (for auto detection)

Or

Uncheck and add your resolution & no of monitors manually.


AmeerNuub, I am sorry that is not working for you... You are using TrippleHead Hardware right?

Aha I manually punched in my information and hey presto, working flawlessly. Thanks a lot, it must of been not been giving the right numbers off auto detection, thanks again for the fix!

My inventory and start menu is huge, am I doing something wrong?

Thanks for all your work helifax :)

Hey.

I recently picked up Skyrim and wanted to get it to work, I got the new updated file that you uploaded.

I got the settings set to automatically detect, which should be 5760x1080, got the Delay set to 15.

When I start up Skyrim, it fits all screens, I can see the menu to the right in the right screen, however - when the 15 secs passes, the picture is blown up a bit, I cant move my mouse into the left screen anymore, it stops in the left side of the center screen.

my Right screen turns off, I can still move into it and hear that I hover over the menues..

any advice, is my resolution set worng or something ?

UPDATE * Seems to work "ok" - if I manage to load up my game before the fix kicks in

I guess I'll go ahead and describe specifically why it has never worked for me in case it might help the coders.

What I get with the latest Helifax fix is similar. Weird placing of the opening screen to the left, no HUD's or markers of any kind in-game, and when I press esc for menu, it pops up for a fraction of a second on the left screen and then disappears. I have to ctrl-alt-del to close it down.

I had this problem (or something similar) when I used the latest Widescreen Fixer (I think 411r), with Skyrim...

If I use a previous version of Widescreen Fixer (before the sweeping changes to the code he mentioned in the updates), everything works perfectly.

Now I'm just waiting for Widescreen Fixer to hopefully support the latest patch 1.5.26 and we'll all be in business. But until then, no problems running 1.5.24.

That usually happens when the plugin is not properly setup. Try to set up manually the configuration.

From other things you've said, it sounds like you are trying to put Helifax's .dll into Haydens fix. You need to be using Widescreen Fixer.

All the specific instructions you need are here. http://widescreengamingforum.com/dr/elder-scrolls-v-skyrim/en

That's the same problem I've been having. I am using eyefinity 5760x1080 no bezel correction. And I've tried setting up the plugin manually

Yeah, that's pretty much the issue.

Against what I said earlier, out of curiosity I went ahead and wasted a bunch of time trying to get this one to work. Still doesn't. I've made sure the versions matched up, tried more delay on fix start, tried manual setup, etc. and it just doesn't work for me. Also I'm not an expert, but from everything I've read, TH2GO behaves no differently with programs or patches than direct nvidia solutions. Totally my fault... I should have just stuck with the one I knew worked for me, and waited for an updated fix version.

The REAL KICKER, is that I plugged my box back into the internet to do all this, and steam acted like it was updating the game. Then every time I tried to launch the game, it said it was still in 1.3! I restarted steam, restarted my computer, several other things, and it was still 1.3. So when you don't want it to update and TELL IT SPECIFICALLY NOT TO, IT FORCES AN UPDATE, but when YOU WANT IT to update IT DOESN"T UPDATE!!!!!!

DIE STEAM! Seriously, does anyone know if ANYONE exists who actually LIKES steam? DIE!!!!!

In your Widescreen Fixer manual settings, try changing unchecking the "Automatically Detect Resolution" checkbox, then DO THIS:

Change "Display Count:" to "3" (it might be defaulted to "1").

I had this same issue, after I changed Display Count to 3, it was just a matter of tweaking the Uncorrected Resolution values.

*Edit*
I got it working perfectly.

Instructions:
-Uncheck "Automatically Detect Resolution"
-Change Display Count to "3"
-Make sure your Corrected Resolution is correct (This seems to be the only one that matters.
-Now for the kicker. Go to C:/My Documents/Games/Skyrim/SkyrimPrefs. Edit the SkyrimPrefs .txt file and change the "iSizeW=" value to be whatever your correct "Corrected Resolution" value is. Example: iSize W = 6076
-Save SkyrimPrefs.
-Launch Skyrim with having Widescreen Fixer already open and it should be perfect!

Hope this wasn't confusing and helps anyone having trouble!
