Thanks Zen, it is much much appreciated!! I was wondering whether it is a lot of work to fix the exe? If you would be able to let us know how?

Thanks zens, much appreciated! :clap:

You have named it gog, I assume that's the version you have? I can confirm that this works with the Steam version either way. :-)

A question, which I forgot to ask you last patch, there seems to be black bars in the cut scenes still, but they are veeery small, only 5-10 pixels or something like that. Do you know why that is? I only noticed it a while ago, so I don't know if this has been the case with all the versions.

Hi all,

And thank zens for the awesome patch!
Would anyone have an umodified Witcher3.exe from patch 1.05?
I replaced mine with zens to enjoy widescreen cutscenes while I was still running v. 1.05 - but now the game won't patch to 1.07 over this modified exe (it just says the 1.07 patch is not compatible with my version of the Witcher, although technically the patch available on gog.com is for version 1.02+).
Should have kept the original .exe just in case, I know!
Thanks in advance for the help - this would avoid me the trouble of having to reinstall the entire game :-/

Named it gog just to clarify, allready tought it would work with steam, only diffrence is the missing steam wrapper in the gog executable. The small black bars left is easy to explain, i used a diffrent float value 2,3333333 resulting on 21:9... (i guess) in the first patch, but correct one should be "2,370370" (2560/1080).... so there shouldnt any bars left anymore now. :)

btw. same behavior is in GTA5 but theire algo checks for 2.3333333 as only accepted float value so there is no simply way to patch it (specialy cause of the drm) with the correct one "2,370370" wich results in smalls bars sadly.

Aaah, I see. Well, that makes things hairier then I guess. You're using 2.370370 - which corresponds to 2560x1080, but the float value for 3440x1440 is 2.3888...89 (43:18). Without messing it up for the 2560x1080 users, is it possible to change it to match the 3440x1440 users?

Which begs another question in general; for 21:9, which is the most widespread resolution of the two - does anyone know?

try this one (float 2.388888):
http://www.file-upload.net/download-10785445/witcher3_3440x1440_fix.rar.html

...the higher float "can" work for 2560x1080 too, depends on the code functions, didnt tested it atm.

EDIT:
sry, i packed the wrong file here is the correct one:
http://www.file-upload.net/download-107 ... x.rar.html

As far as I can tell, there is no visual difference between this one and the previous version?

I've been lurking here since the first 21:9 fix. Finally register to say thank you zens for the fast update.

I also agree with what Northmountain says as there is still the small black bars in your recent 3440x1440 fix. I remember before update 1.04 there is a fix where you code it perfectly with no black bar on the sides. Hopefully you can identify what the kink is and give us another great update.

Guys let me know if that will work for you, it works for me (2560x1080) too.
Float is 2.388888 now

Hey zens, awesome work man!
Sadly i'm still encountering black bars here and there. i am running a 21:9 2560x1080 screen with your latest fix and still have blackbars in some cutscenes. for example when ciri htis the helm over the wall in the tutorial scene. Or the following, where you see geralt sleeping. Any ideas?

Hey zens. :)
I have still a 3D rendered sequence that has black bars: http://imgur.com/DC6lHFD
Probably just a limitation of that scene then?

Hmm, it indeed is one. Messed around with the appearances and the graphic settings and it is indeed pre rendered. Thanks for your help zens :)
