Risen 3 - How to enable ultrawide resolution support (21:9)

[Garrett]

I have updated the detailed report to cover the two methods. Retail and 32-bit Steam versions are the previous build of the game, so Helifax's solution should still work for those situations. The retail version can be updated with the 64-Bit Upgrade but that might not work with Jackfuste's fix.

Here's update:
- all language version supported
- 21:9 support

Copy folders "data" and "system" from archive to Steam\SteamApps\common\Risen 3\

Awesome work J;)

I still didn't manage to give it a look. I'll give it a look soon (for those who are still interested in the WSF plugin).

Thank you. But no full screen? It's in a window.

Should be full screen.
Check your file %userprofile%\AppData\Local\Risen3\Config\ConfigUser.xml
See option FullScreen="true"

Code: Select all

<options>
   <Engine>
      <Window
         Top="0"
         Right="5760"
         RefreshRate="60"
         Left="0"
         FullScreen="true"
         Bottom="1200"
         AdapterNumber="0"
      >
      </Window>

Thank you. It showed false. I changed it to true. Thank you again and have a nice weekend.

Hey guys, I used the cracked .exe with the Config file and everything went fine until a cutscene started. Then, almost anything except the moving characters appears white and the rest is a bright blue. Do you know what's missing or wrong in the configuration?

Edit: I already found someone who had almost the same problem, but it turned out that he used to fix something in the CCC of his AMD card. I use an GTX 560 Ti.

Help. The file under the permission of 3440х1440 does not work with the version of the game Risen 3 Titan Lords - Enhanced Edition GOG 64 bit (setup_risen3_enhanced_edition_2.0.0.3). Is there any way to fix it?

[paulone]

FOR Risen 3 Titan Lords - Enhanced Edition GOG 64 bit.
SET 3440х1440:
1. edit \data\ini\ConfigDefault.xml and %APPDATA%\Local\Risen3\Config\ConfigUser.xml set it to:
Right="3440"
Bottom="1440"
FullScreen="false"

2. Download Borderless Gaming. You can use this app to "FullScreen"* (aka remove windows borders) from any windowed application*.

* The next step is only useful if you're having an issue with the Windows cursor showing up in-game when you're in windowed mode. Push Win+Scroll Lock to hide cursor.

3440х1440 VS 2560х1440

An alternative solution for the GOG version, which worked for me:

HEX edit "Risen3.exe", search for "39 8E E3 3F" (there should be only 2 values) and replace them with, in my case "26 B4 17 40" (21x9 - 2560x1080).
That's it.

Although that will leave the HUD stretched.
I fixed that by editing the "ConfigDefault.xml" inside "%gamefolder%/data/ini".
Under "Aspect16x9" just swap the value of "VirtalWidth=" from "1920" to "2560".

Haven't tested it personally but I think it would work for 3440x1440 by using the "8E E3 18 40" hex values instead and of course "3440" instead of "2560".
