Pharaoh, Zeus...on widescreen

[CopiousDelusionSandwich]

Hey Crudelios,

Ive downloaded the VCRedist 2015 and tried to use the resizer, it doesnt work. Still asks for the DLL file, so ive copied that from WinDIR to the same folder as the resizer (Pharoah Directory) and have tried to run it and i get an error: App Error: 0xc000007b

Using Win8.1 x64 and have tried with Win7 compatibility and still no luck. Also tried Admin Rights. Nope.

Im trying to change it to 2560 x 1080 for 21:9.

Also tried using a Hex Editor to modify but I cant find the values you referenced. *tried with wxHexEditor and Went to Offset 0xcfa0a but it didnt really make any sense to me so i left it.

Will try on a Win7 machine, but at present its having problems doing the Windows updates.

CopiousDelusionSandwich don't forget to install the x86 version of the redist as the x64 version will not work!

Hello everyone!

Time for a new version of the Pharaoh Resizer!

Improvements:

- Massive changes to the empire map. The map isn't duplicated on large resolutions as it was before, and doesn't crash at 4k resolution. See attached screenshot for details (1440p original image).
- Fixed a small bug at the bottom of the screen at certain resolutions.
- Added automatic resolution detection to Pharaoh Resizer. By default, the values will reflect the primary monitor's resolution.

The new empire map at 1440p.


Pharaoh in glorious 4k! Not too practical to play, though.

I'm having issues getting this game to load. I have tried to mess with all the compatibility options. The game acts as if it will load then get an error message.

C3.exe has stopped working
If you could please help it would be appreciated.

[crudelios]

DrViagrin did you install the Caesar 3 patch 1.1 first before replacing the exe?

[DrViagrin]

Well thanks for the suggestion. I forgot to check for patches. Anyway I did install it, but it's still giving me that message.

[DrViagrin]

Any other suggestions... from you or anyone?

[crudelios]

Does the original exe give you troube as well or does it load up fine?

Now that I think about it, I think I had similar problems with one of the 1080p exe's that was available in this forum. Which resolution are you trying to run on?

[DrViagrin]

The original was not working either. In fact after I bought it off steam I had to rename it to an executable file. It had some other extension that would not open. So I changed the extension to .exe, and it started giving me this issue. I even tried uninstalling the program with revouninstaller, and reinstalled it, I believe twice now. Still not working I tried changing the resolution of my computer to the recommended settings given in this forum, and still no go. It just keeps crashing.

[crudelios]

That doesn't seem to be a problem with the modified exe, but with the installation itself.

But anyway, what was the original extension of the executable? And what about its filesize?

Hey crudelios, thanks and kudos for the PharaohResizer. Works perfectly!

Wondering if you've made similar Resizers for the rest of the Impressions city builder games like Caesar III, Zeus+Poseidon and Emperor ROTMK?

Not that Jackfuste's fixes doesn't work but your's addresses some of the UI glitches as well.

That's exactly what I asked back in September but never received a reply.

Hey,

Sorry, but I haven't done a resizer for any other games, only for Pharaoh!

[Salvia]

crudelios, thanks for making that resizer. It is really good.

But, we also would like one for caesar 3, zeus and emperor, since you already know how to do it.
I like how the UI and the map screen is centered on yours. No other widescreen patch does that on other games.

Check out this 1600x900 resolution for caesar 3, it does not work for me. crashes on menu.

No problem. If you do try your hand at those games I'd personally recommend Zeus/Poseidon. In my opinion its the best of Impression's city builders.

Try this. Replace the original c3.exe if you've made a backup or if you haven't just download a normal No CD exe and then go into the game and set the resolution to 1024x768, save the game and exit. Then replace it with the resolution fixed exe and it should work fine.

Hope this helps.

That does not work. Has anyone gotten caesar 3 on 1600x900 to work?

I have and I am running it on 1600x900 right now.

You could try another thing, try running the Caesar 3 Map Editor (c3_mapper.exe) and set the resolution to 1024x768 from in there then exit and try running the main game.

I could also attach the 1600x900 executable I'm using, dled it from this thread, not sure which one but it works fine.

Hello there everyone,

I'm having severe issues with the fixes for Pharoa and Cleopatra. Basically I've followed the instructions specified, however, when I go to change the resolution the game crashes. Sometimes it even forces my entire computer to crash prompting me to restart it. I've tried all manner of different launch settings, changing from the 1920-1080 file to 1600-900 and so on but nothing seems to work. It just crashes constantly, either I get stuck on the black start screen or whenever I change resolution it goes kaputt. All I get is this tiiiiny little window up in the left corner of my screen and it stops working.

Am I doing it wrong? What are the exact settings to use to make this work? Are you supposed to change the resolution in-game or no? Thanks for any help you can provide, I desperately want to make this work... I mean... so much nostaliga, I have to have it! Haha.

You have to set it to the highest resolution the game offers from the game menu. Then quit and use this file to make a 1920x1080 resolution and replace

hope it works.

Hi guys,

I got the 1920x1080 patch for Caesar III and it doesn't seem to work.... it just moves the screen to be fullscreen, and it puts the things that are supposed to be in the center are almost in the lower right-hand corner. I am using windows 10. Can anyone help me? I put a screenshot of what I see. if I try to put it to 1280x720 resolution without the patch it makes the screen dark, keep the old resolution, just a small part shows of the old resolution, and the desktop shows, then if I click from the taskbar Caesar III it takes me to the normal screen

[PCMaster]

I have c3 - 1920x1080.exe, what i must do to set game in 1440x900? I have Be.HexEditor but i don't know how to use it (what string i must change and how?)


thanks
