Flawless Widescreen

I got an error when running Borderlands a few times trying to track down another issue, here is what I have:



if you need anything else, let me know.

Aware of the borderlands issue - it's pointers twitching, HUD specifically - I will fix this shortly, its a catch 22 situation - reliability may require me breaking the main menu fix.

That really sucks. Perhaps you could make a check box under the individual fixes with a brief description of the problem and the consequences of it being enabled?

Hi All,

Just installed Flawless for skyrim. Didn't change anything other than ran updates.

Steam version 1.5.26.05

Maps work great, Everything is good except the inventory list and the Q quick list shows up way on the left and right.

Have I done something noob and forgot to set something?



Thanks Josh

What hardware are you running? What is display deyection detecting on the status page?

Did you follow the inatructions aboit the map detect value?

Launch skyrim with fws activated, get ingame then alt tab, click detect map value then restart skyri
, if that fails you can try force map check value.

Display detection on status page:




Map detect value:
1) launched with fws activated, alt tab, click detect map value and then restarted still the same.
2) Tried force, same value, 6 (0x06)

Hardware:
i5 2500k
Trifire: 6990, 6950 2gb unlocked.

I'm going to try with crossfire disabled.

The only thing iffy I notice is that on this screen it is showing bezel compensation as false when I have used bezel compensation. Not sure if that is the issue.



Thanks Josh

Something is very funky with your setup (and/or the detection of your setup) notice it is reporting 3 seperate screens at a reoslution 6000x1080 and reporting the grid size as 1x1 ... it's not detecting properly hence you end up getting full width.... as a temporary fix until I can investigate further - go into settings and choose override, and configure it appropriately.

It should report monitors > 1

It should report monitors > 1 - is there 3 GPU's?

[monkey magic]

Thanks, I see that now.

EDIT: Rebooting the PC made the settings stick and everything works well now thanks.

Overide the settings, initial load the same, alt tab detect now and alt tab back in and everything is in place. The map looks good. The compass is squashed though as you can see.


I have to do that each fresh time I load the game so something doesn't seem to stick.

That is good enough for me for now.
Enjoy your trip and I don't have much at the moment but I'll donate when I sell some stuff and get some money in the account.

Thanks Josh

Yes 3 GPUs. 6990 is dual on single card and 6950 is single, all crossfired.

Hi,

Just installed flawless, and when I run skyrim, it says skyrim detected, version UNSUPPORTED! I'm running 1.5.26.0.5. I tried manually selecting that version, but no luck. Nothing happens at all. Any ideas?

Thanks!

[monkey magic]

What version is it, ie CD or steam etc?

Love flawless, it works great for me except for Bioshock 2. Because of the GFWL issue I start a new game which is no big deal since I never really progressed that far because of it's lack of support, but it crashes right when the 3D engine loads. Looking at Flawless it has game version 1.0.0.1 while I noted that Bioshock 2 is now at 1.5.0.019 on Steam. Is there any chance of an update?

Thanks for everything you've done to make triple screen gaming viable.

[HaYDeN]

Not aware of any issues with Bioshock2, not last I checked, perhaps it has been updated - I'll have to check it when I get back home end of the week.

Hmm weird, totally love the game I wish I could play it, yeah I have even disabled the Windows live service and have the file in place(D:Program Files (x86)SteamsteamappscommonBioShock 2SPBuildsBinaries) and of course nothing is prompted(no log in) when I play here is a screen of what happen when I crash on a new game, you app looks good like it finds everything(I am in windows mode so you can see everything:

Got this cased(wanted to share for anyone that could not get it to work), basically if it does not work delete the following folders and do a local cache check in Steam on the game so it re down loads the files in those two folders :

Nuke these folders:

D:Program Files (x86)SteamsteamappscommonBioShock 2SPBuildsBinaries (where ever you have Steam installed or the game)

C:Users[user name]AppDataRoamingBioshock2

Nuke those two folders and the game worked like butter its all good.

HUD centering and FOV fix worked after revalidating steam cache? odd that steam did not correcy itself before having to do that.

The issue is the ini/config files that screw up or conflict with your fix if we have played the game before using your fix then there is a good chance things will not work if we have modded those config files or have certain values. Basically by starting out fresh it works perfectly I think the Default.ini and some of the derived appdata files are the issue.

Dude its no big deal I am just freaking happy I can play it in 3 screen with the fixes :) its amazing now.

Is Flawless Widescreen not working in conjuction with Nvidia Surround for Mass Effect 3? If I try the fix with auto detect for the ME3 verion it crashes as soon as it starts. If I try manaually detecting the ME3 version and/or manually toggling the fix and it doesn't work.

[HaYDeN]

It is not working 100% on NVIDIA altho I have had one or two users report success - but they report the same thing (on NVIDIA only) about it crashing, but for some reason they had success after the second time trying it, no idea why. possibly try instancing the module then exiting and then reloading it and see if there is any difference.

I'll probably be picking up a NVIDIA based solution before I leave US, bit cheaper here and my 5870 is getting a bit old.... So in the future supporting both may be a little more feasable.

Hey all,

Has anyone been able to get Tribes:Ascend working with the latest patch?

My FOV is borked and Flawless shows "UNSUPPORTED".

Thanks!

I'm getting the same thing it seems. Hopefully flawless will be updated soon!
