Widescreen Gaming Forum

jaskfust made an EXE that worked for me. I believe it's about editing other values because while this fix enables widescreen, it doesn't seem to allow for the opposite.

It looks like 1280x1024 brought down to 1280x800 with letterboxing. Changing the hex value does nothing and has never done anything.

I happen to have an EXE that worked at some point. It worked for 1.071 or something like that. If you think it would help by posting it I'll put it up...

If you have the original exe from that release as well, then there is a slight chance I could do something.

Just for the shits and giggles I turned off bezel correction and recalculated all my stuff. Suddenly it works perfectly? Not sure why the numbers just being a few decimals off would change everything, but hey whatever works. Thanks for all your help guys! I'll post updates in this thread as the game patches since I intend to continue playing for a good long while (I'm filthy FOB addict).

this is my current monitor... maybe there's something wrong with my resolution calculation? jackfuste hasn't been online all year and he's the only one who made a proper EXE

Hello guys,

Anyone here knows how to uninstall the Nightbits patch?!? Can't find anything on his post, just the installation instructions. Thanks!

Just get Steam to verify the files?

Can someone make a 5:4 .exe (1280x1024) please? I've already done it and apparently the right way but maybe something isn't being saved right due to the program I use or something.

I found a solution through being smart and cross referencing old EXEs that jackfuste made to find the line where the resolution change is made and low and behold I found out how to fix it.

He replaced not only the value you guys replace to get wide-r screen but also two sets that come before it with the same 00 00 a0 3f that I use.


It works now.

trying to get phantom pain to work in 3440x1440 (steam) and this patcher crashes as soon as I hit patch button after selecting the resolution. I have tried running as admin, and in compatibility mode (running it in game dir). Nothing works.

Anyone know of a way to get TPP working in 3440x1440 currently?

Which patcher? The current method is hex editing the exe and running a cheat engine script to fix the HUD.

I've PM'd you a download link to the CE file (if you can't find it)
If you're having troubles read the last few pages for tips

Game is absolute good and have more then 200H playtime but it suck hard not having 21:9 support.I ve been reading these pages and,Hex editing and that cheat engine is very hard terms for me. Can some lovely person PM me for detailed instructions. (Assuming i will buy from STEAM so lastest patch).Thanks for future help

Easy method:
For some resolutions you can just use this patcher by NightBits
https://github.com/NightBits/NightBitsM ... atcher.exe
For a list see: http://www.wsgf.org/forums/viewtopic.ph ... 71#p163771

Then grab a copy of mgsvtpp_1.1.0.0.CT.7z from below, and use F1/F3 to toggle fixes in-game

1. Open *\steamapps\common\MGS_TPP\mgsvtpp.exe in hex editor (back it up first).

2. Search for 39 8E E3 3F (in hex).

3. Replace 39 8E E3 3F with the value for your resolution (using AB AA AA 40 for 5760x1080 in image).
Make sure you replace the values, don't add them (if the file sizes are different you did it wrong).
For other resolutions see: http://www.wsgf.org/article/common-hex-values
The offset on the left may be different if the exe is a different version (you can ignore it).

4. Save the file, close the HEX editor, and start the game.
5. When the game has loaded into a map; Alt-Tab and run Cheat Engine (CE).
6. Press the pulsating red/green button, and select mgsvtpp.exe.
7. Drag and drop mgsvtpp_1.0.7.1+.CT on the CE window.

8. Select the checkbox next to Markers fix, when it expands select the next three checkboxes. It should look something like:
If it looks like:

Then try it without DSR.

9. Alt-Tab back into the game and enjoy.

in-game press F1 to enable, and F3 to disable. You don't need to fiddle with the checkboxes anymore.
There is also a standalone exe in the above link if you don't need to change FOV.

Ok thanks i managed it but can i CLOSE the APP after done it eats memory and CPU usage ?

You can close the hex editor as soon as you've saved your edit, CE needs should to be kept running (until you close MSGV).

This cheat table has been developed so that it should not required lots of memory and CPU usage.
It has never behaved that way for me.

You can check Both the markers fix and fov fix and edit them as you wish. Once this is done, you can close the Cheat engine as the new routines will have been injected.
But, if for some reason you want to undo the fixes (by unchecking) you should not be able to as loading again the cheat table will not allow you to do so.

So i suggest leaving the program running in background.

Thanks for help very appreciated. Also what does CE exactly do ? I tried ON / OFF did not notice anything. Lastly I downloaded mgsvtpp_1.0.7.1+a (1).7z choggi provided is it optimized for 3440x1440 ? Thanks and sorry for noob questions

The CE table aligns the markers over people/objects, and adjusts the FOV (if you pick that option).
It's for any resolution (though I don't think 4:3 works too well).

The cheat table optimise the markers for your game resolution. It is a fix as enabling widescreen in game (larger than 16/9 ratio) will make the game markers go crazy and float anywhere.
The fov toggle is only there to allow you to modify your viewing angle. It is not a fix.

The fix provided with the cheat table retrieves the memory adress where relevant informations are stored.
Thus, these informations will be used in a new code injected into the game. This new code is only a couple of bytes more than the orginal code.
It should have no impact on your framerate or anything else.
To enable the fix, an extra memory allocation is done. It's only a few kilo bytes. Nothing that you should fear about regarding the memory quantity embedded in computers nowadays.

Roger that Today i noticed this is this common or not ? Thanks

I assume this flaw is seen when wind is blowing.
I couldn't reproduce it myself. Using and understanding jackfuste original fix i didn't see any improvement by including it in my cheat table.
So i decided to remove that fix from it.
Sorry but you'll have to deal with it.
