Hayden can you give us an insight?

I just donated 20.00 to Hayden. If you are reading this and have used his program you should too!!!

Ya, about that. I don't mind tossing some ducats Hayden's way. Once his site is working and/or he voices his need for help or at least that he's around, then I'll be more than happy to contribute some funds, but not before then...

I just did the same. Cheers! I appreciate all the hard work.

Did anyone check to see if those funds were withdrawn? If they were please post that. If not, then maybe something happened to Hayden and giving funds to a person who may not be able to withdraw it may not be the best thing to do until he communicates that he's still around. Just my thoughts...

OK, look. There's no need to start getting all paranoid or stressed out, the guy was on Steam like, 6 hours ago. He hasn't disappeared into the void forever, taking all dreams of properly functioning Widescreen Gaming with him.
His webhost has a giant range of IPs that are un-pingable/unavailable currently, that range includes his site's IP so... Maybe it's not Hayden that's at "fault" here?

I don't know either way, but there's been a ramp up of nerves and agitation in the last several posts. Just chill out for a bit, see how it goes, Hayden might even be enjoying a bit of a break.

Just saying...

He's been on and off and on Steam the last few days. Perhaps he's just taking a break. Let's give the man some time

Chill out guys, this thread is for feedback, not paranoid harassment.
If only the people waiting for an unofficial fix to be updated would just contact the DEVELOPERS/PUBLISHERS and report the flaws in their games directly to them...

In response to bburnham37, "look," I am not "stressed" or "paranoid." With replies like that, then we start getting guys like this other person (scavvenjahh), joining in the action with comments like this:

Because now, I'm not only being accused of being "stressed" and "paranoid," but also "paranoid harassment?" - LOL !!! This is too funny. All I was doing was inquiring where this guy was at, that's all and I actually wanted to contribute some funds his way. Honestly, he hasn't responded to anyone here on WSGF since September, and since there's no way to communicate with him on his site (since it's down) and a person like myself doesn't have a Steam account, where else is someone like me going communicate my thoughts, except... here, right?

Throwing out comments like "stressed," "paranoid," and "paranoid harassment," comes across accusatory. That's not something that we should be doing to each other. If you have a legitimate concern about how anybody's communicating something, then please PM that person (in this case with me) to get more clarity so you can better understand where a person like myself coming from.

BTW, now that I know that he's doing okay, I think I'll contribute some funds as he's done a really great job with this app and hope he continues to add more games on here for any of us wanting to use our tri-screen set up properly. Thanks, later…

My comment was a general warning to all, not a personal attack. Later.

No pressure. Also, if you have Hayden's contact email can you please provide it? I think it may be whatever their avatar name is (or even the website) "@gmail.com." My guess then would be it's: [email protected]. If that's what it is then please let me know, and I'll contact him directly. Thanks...

I emailed Dopefish and asked if he could fix it and how much he would charge to do so and I haven't got a response back from him either....

Things are not looking good.... Sad times

Fix what, his site or the app?

Right click on the file flawless.txt and save as

flawless.txt

When done downloading rename the extension to

flawless.7z

Open with 7 Zip

Thanks so much for this valcan_s! I should have read back a bit further in the thread before posting. I'm so happy you had a copy of the plugins. At least FWS is usable with these!


And thanks for your hard work Hayden. When the tool comes back I will donate for sure, and would happily buy a copy of FWS if you made it a paid for application going forward.

Oh sorry... COD AW

Site can no longer be found when searching on google. Looks like this might be the end of Flawless Widescreen. I don't blame them honestly, sure its become an essential tool for me, sure I have donated on more than one occasion; but you should have seen the request section in their forums, people had a demanding tone as if it was their god given right to request fixes for nothing in return. I wish them all the best and hope they find it in their hearts to bring the site back. But like I said, I don't blame them.

Based on what exactly?
The domain name info was updated 2014-11-06T04:24:24Z. He obviously still has interests in the domain name. Perhaps he was out of town when it was nearing expiration. Who knows.

Based on the fact that a simple update on the issue was never given, Hayden knows of this forum, he is the creator of this post after all. Either way whatever he decides I wish him all the best.

Guys,

I've been extremely busy with work stuff recently, basically living and breathing work.. add on top of this one of my SSD's dying (Raid 0, yay) my PC's basically been off, waiting for a replacement SSD to come, which is now and in and I'm back up and going again.

Re: Website.

Website is down due to the widespread drupal exploit, which basically all sites started getting hit literally within hours of its announcement... site was patched on the 17th and after an audit of the logs it appears evident that their exploit attempt failed to do anything nefarious, the fact that the write permissions on the files were locked down, eg. apache couldn't write to those files means they didn't succeed in planting anything malicious... further exploits obviously failed because it was patched, however things like database interaction are not easily audited.

I'd hazard a guess there's tens of thousands or more drupal based sites out there with backdoors now installed [lying dormant] and erring on the side of extreme caution I've decided to drop the site, rebuild it with static content and drop drupal entirely, that is why the site is currently down... and basically my recommendation would be that if you interact with _ANY_ drupal based website tread with caution going forward unless you know they've been secured.

You can read about it here: https://www.drupal.org/drupalsa05FAQ

It will be back up shortly now that I have some time available.

Thank you very much for the update Hayden, glad to know that it wasn't you leaving us . Looking forward to the site getting back up and sorry to hear about your SSD troubles.

Thanks for the reply Hayden <3

I donated to you the other day. I will donate again on my next check coming in.

Thanks for all your work and if there is anything I can do to help let me know. Hardware wise or anything. I am sponsored and I go to a lot of LAN parties and I got stuff laying around here including SSD's.

Dopefish is currently working on a fix for the new COD AW. I don't know if you guys collaborate on fixes or what. He went offline about 2 hours ago... Probably sleeping now.

Thanks again

Elmy

And if there is anyone reading this and have used Flawless widescreen fixer and can afford a donation... Even 10.00 .... please donate! If you can afford 50.00 even better. Lets thank these guys for their work.
