hey dopefish...
In the meantime is there any chance of small tutorial how to manually get MW2 MP to run @3600x1920?
Or have you an eta on version that will support it?
Cheers mate you rock... :rockout

Got the Widescreen Fixer v1.66.0 working for Call of Cuty: Modern Warfare and for Call of Cuty: World at War. However, it doesn't seem to be working for Modern Warfare 2. Eyefinity itself is working, but everything is strectched out and impossible to play. Basically, what would normally be on one monitor, is stretched across all three. I'm doing the same thing I did to get it to work for MW 1 and WaW. Something special I need to do for MW2?

Also, is there a way to change what key ( : ) activates the Fixer program? I do a lot of smiley's and use the colon often, which de-activates the program.

Thanks a lot thus far!

Make sure you download the individual MW2 .dll file from the WSF site and add it to the folder where the WSF.exe is.
Once WSF is running, there is a settings tab which has a "hot key" box at the bottom. Use that to change your key.

Downloaded the individual MW2 .dll file and added it to the folder where the Fixer.exe is located, but didn't seem to do the trick. Also, there is no 'Settings' tab on the Fixer program.

Also, the Fixer still works for MW1 as far as not stretching the image, but now when I get into a game, I can't click which team to join and none of the tabs work once in a server and in a game. The 'Marines', 'Spetsnatz', 'Back', 'Leave Game', etc. tabs don't work.

Thanks for the help

Erm ... maybe you're using an old version? There is definitely a settings tab....

eZ, what's that extra button in the titlebar?

I'm not actually sure on changing the resolution of the game. This is separate of Widescreen Fixer.

You need to grab the latest version from the main site. http://www.widescreenfixer.org/

There is a settings tab in v2.0 that lets you change your hotkey.

It's put there from Ultramon, used to move the window to the next monitor. :)

Ok, got the latest version of the Fixer with the 'Settings' tab, etc. Got all the .dll files in the same folder as the Fixer but it's still the same story. World at War works perfectly, Modern Warfare the Eyefinity works (the image is displayed correctly across all three screens) but the buttons are deactivated (Marines, Spetz, Leave Game, Options, etc.), and Modern Warfare 2 doesn't seem to work at all (image normally on single monitor is stretched across all three) and also the buttons don't work either (Join Game, Options, Exit, etc.).

Are there any certain settings on the Fixer I need to use?

FOV Calculator? Update rate?

Thanks again for everything

The FOV calculator is nothing more than a FOV calculator. It does not interact with the game at all.

Update rate is only used for games that support it. It should be disabled and locked to a specific value for games that do not need it. For a game that does need it, it has to do with how frequently (in milliseconds) that the FOV is updated at. Setting it to a value of 1ms would be the quickest while 1000ms would be the longest.

For the menu items in CoD, you can move the mouse cursor to the side monitor and it will wrap around and let you select items. You may optionally disable the fix to select menu items and then re-enable it.

What version of MW2 are you using? Is it a cracked version or the regular Steam version?

Ok, I got the buttons figured out on MW2, but still no playable Eyefnity. MW2 version 1.2.208, regular Steam version as far as I know. On MW, I clicked all over all three screens and never got the buttons to light up when cursor hovered over or get anything to click. Playable Eyefinity still working.

I really appreciate all the help with this. These three CoD games are the only ones I play (besides FreeCell. lol) and I bought the ATI Radeon HD 5870 the day it came out and I'm just now getting it to work correctly. Haha

Thanks!

You have to click in-game (In Mw2) items as if they were still on your center screen, since the game still thinks you're using a single screen. To find the 'spot' to click, just put your cursor on the same horizontal postition as whatever you wish to click, and move the cursor towards the outer edges of the screen(s). Once that item changes color, click. Basicly, jsut click on your center screen where the item would be without the fix.

I used my keyboard for all my MW2 clicking for a while, but now i just know where all the clicks are detected. I'm sure I could've worded this a little better, but I'm stoned, an very tired.

I assume it's the same, or similar, to the other games that Dopefish's fix work for. I've only used it for MW2.

Hey dogfigh...

I'm a long time triple screen user.
I used your old fix for mw2 - np !

but now it does not work... on the same ISO...

I use now a 5970, I tried with out bezel management - no luck

any trick I'm missing ?

How do I tell what version is my exe ? (168 or 175)
the "value" is alwayz 4.8


Thank you

The value field is mostly useless right now.

You can't tell what version of MW2 you have in single-player. In multi-player, the game's version will be located in the lower-right corner at the main menu.

I cant get this to work for BF2 :(
Does it work for BF2?
Can someone post instructions please :)
Thanks...

I'm running 1.0.159 .... how do I update ?...

It will update automatically through Steam.

after alot of work, I found out that an older version of the fixer support 1.0.159...

too bad the new ones does not :

The old versions are usually included. You just have to disable the setting to only show the new versions. Widescreen Fixer gets updated to support the latest versions. If you let Steam update the game, then you don't have to worry about it.

So i formatted tonight, and after starting MW2, using the same resolution as before, i enable the fix, but now my scoreboard is longer than pre-format. Now I can't see my deaths or ping, since they're 'behind' my bezel.

When i first ran the fixer, i got some sort of Object warning about .NET framework, yet the fix still enables fine.

IS it possible that this error would cause the scoreboard to to wacky? It appears in more-or-less the same place, but the right side is stretched further, although the characters are okay.

Edit: Okay, I'm an idiot. I forgot to set AR. Doy. Funny though, the picture was fine using Auto.

If it's a fresh install of Widescreen Fixer, there is still a bug in that it will crash on first use. This has to do with some values not being set right or loaded on initial launch, but get set afterward. The next time you start it it should work fine.

The aspect-ratio setting in CoD does not need to be changed as Widescreen Fixer simply overrides it.

I'm thinking of going back and trying to center the rest of the items in CoD4/5/6.
