Multi-Game Widescreen Fixer

[dopefish]

Indeed, but the module for v1.1.195 also works with v1.2.208 still.

I know I'm going to get a ton of emails from people asking me to update WSF when it's not necessary. :) I'm just trying to give everyone a heads up before they email me. Try it first and let me know afterwards.

Splendid. I haven't tried it yet. Away from home, using a single 20".. :/

thanks

I saw on your site that the COD6 mp Version is still listed as 1.1.195. If you're still getting email inquiries, I'd suggest listing it as 1.1.195-1.1.208. Or whatever the new version is.

Hey everyone!

So I barely noticed there was a widescreen fix for MW2 and I was stoked. So I tried it out only to find that it only works in windowed mode. Anyone know why it doesn't work for fullscreen mode?

When I do fullscreen MW2 MP, and set the resolution to 4800x900, the text zoom in and look blurry/pixelated. But then I hit ALT+Enter to go into windowed mode and the text is legible and clear. I then go into a game but it's stretched, so I enable the fixer and it is perfect. I tried just hitting ALT+Enter while the fix was enabled but it didn't work.

My rig is i5 750 4GHz, 4GB DDR3 1600, 5850x2 Crossfire.

Thanks again, and dopefish, you are the man :D

Hi dopefish we need you again :bowdown

It will work regardless of whether it is fullscreen or windowed. That setting makes no difference to WSF. I suspect it may have something to do with your graphics settings outside of the game.

Hi dopefish we need you again :bowdown

The old version still works with the new version. :)

Sorry dopefish is working good thanks :D

Was trying to figure out how to get current version of mw2 to work with my ws fixer 1.66 but he link to the imk.cx website is broken or the site is offline. Is this project dead?

[gunning1987]

sorry to be a pain in the but, im not sure if the update has buggered the 2.0.0.0 BETA software but im having difficulty with the activating the fixer.
i start and run widescreen fixer beta with 1.1.195 MP, start MW2, alt+tab out and hit hotkey status reads game running yes fix enabled yes but yet no fixing of the game.

this has only happend in the last half of the day have re-started pc, d/l new gamefile for widescreen and used different hotkeys and selected different ratios.
could someone let me know whats to do next?

running 3x acer b273hu with 5870 crossfire.

You shouldn't need to alt-tab at all

run the fixer, ensure it has admin mode if required (vista/7 etc.)
(also ensure the hotkey to switch it is ok - mine sometimes loses the one i've set)
run the game
hit the hotkey to activate the fixer (i usually wait until i'm in my first map to activate) - it may take a few tries to do it.

once done it's fine until i quit the game

Thanks

Where can I get this fixer? That site is offline now.

[Abram]

I figured it'd be on WSGF.... maybe i jsut don't see it.

So, here my copy, latest version. I'm pretty sure all game /dlls are in there... i just got it a few days ago.

Thanks mate. I tried mw2 with that fixer and it works well other than the fact that clicking the options in the menus gets all messed up in surround where you have to click like 3 inches to the left to make it register. Sometimes even the arrow up and down does not work either. Haven't tried this version with any other game so far other than mw2. Weird.

[Abram]

It's like that throughout all versions I've used.. Except when you're actually in a map, then the menus get unsquished, but are still misplaced - though clicking them is accurate.

It's a blemish I'm more than willing to put up with. The picture is fine and the HUD is good with the WS fixer.

[dopefish]

The site was momentarily down. It's back up and running. I made a post on twitter about the status of it. http://twitter.com/blooguard

Operation of the site may be intermittent until I get everything back to the way it was before.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

[dopefish]

I've moved the site to http://www.widescreenfixer.org/

nm, lol

The widescreen site has been down for at least 2 weeks now. Did Dopefish go under? :shock:

Check the two posts above yours.

I'm preparing to remove the BETA reference to Widescreen Fixer and make it a regular release.

There are a few features I'd like to implement first and I need some input. I will also be listing some things that will and will not be fixed upon release, and some future fixes I have planned.

Input needed:
I am going to add support for specifying your own aspect-ratio or resolution. How will this work with bezel management? I have yet to use any form of bezel management solutions from ATI or NVIDIA. Should I only include the ability to set your own resolution? Should I include an option for custom aspect-ratios? The main thing I'm concerned about is how bezel management is handled. If all you do is set up the bezel management in the control panel, and it gives you a resolution, then you should just need to input that resolution. I only have TH2Go (thanks again, Mach1.9pants) and have no bezel management solutions, so I have no idea what users need out of Widescreen Fixer in that regard. (Redundant sentence much?)

Items fixed/added/changed upon release:
[list]
[*]Version numbers now update automatically based on SVN revision and build number.[/*:m]
[*]The hotkey now works as a hotkey should. You press it once and it works instantly without toggling on/off a thousand times per second. :)[/*:m]
[*]Update checking will be disabled until I can implement a better solution.[/*:m]
[*]An optional installer using WIX (There's a slim chance this won't be ready upon release. It depends on how anxious I get to release the app early.)[/*:m][/list:u]

Items needing fixed/added/changed after release:
[list]
[*]Remote updating of version.xml.[/*:m]
[*]Better update system. It should let you know there's an update, and if you choose to update, it will automatically download it and replace the file before the actual application loads.[/*:m]
[*]Include a description for modules describing what exactly the fix does for that particular game, as well as other vital information.[/*:m]
[*]Add in better error handling.[/*:m][/list:u]

There are more things I have on my todo list but these are at the top of the list.

I also hope to get a better web design for the site up, as well as a new icon for Widescreen Fixer.

Any input, thoughts, comments, criticisms, etc. are appreciated.

I've uploaded a new build (v2.0.19.663) of Widescreen Fixer for everyone to test/use.

Changes included in this release:

[list]
[*][Game.Call of Duty 6 MP] Appended v1.2.208 to the end of v1.1.195 (it doesn't fit; I know).[/*:m]
[*][Widescreen Fixer] Disabled update checking until I can implement a better solution.[/*:m]
[*][Widescreen Fixer] Added x64 build support (coming later).[/*:m]
[*][Widescreen Fixer] Fixed hotkey to not toggle on/off 1000 times per second when held down.[/*:m]
[*][Widescreen Fixer] Changed default tickrate of timer1 from 1000 to 100.[/*:m]
[*][Widescreen Fixer] Added support for updating the version numbers based on the SVN revision.[/*:m]
[*][Widescreen Fixer] Changed references from imk.cx to http://www.widescreenfixer.org.[/*:m][/list:u]

I'm interested in everyone trying out the hotkey and letting me know how it works. It should operate much better than before.

Hi Dopefish,

I can't get your fixer working in Wolfenstein. It works fine for UT3 (I tested in that to confirm it wasn't the fixer) so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I've updated to the latest version (1.2) and that didn't help. The version I'm using is a retail copy, so it's got SecuRom instead of Steam. Could that be why?

Any suggestions?

I'm not using any sort of no-cd crack and my OS is Windows 7 x64.

Thank you for your awesome work. I look forward to replaying the CoD games at some point in surround.
