Psi-Ops (PC) No WS?

[turls]

This was released only overseas port of the Xbox version

I've tried editing the .ini to support WS, no dice.

Anybody else even have it to see if they have any luck? Basically the only searches it comes up on were for Starforce (different .exe took care of that, so I'm still Starforce free).

OT, but I'm not liking the looks of the port so far as I think this game needs to have dual-analog joystick support. May just end up going back to the Xbox version (that wasn't widescreen either).

It's a horrendous port of the game, I couldn't stand it on the PC, I just got the XBox one, heh... I didn't recall seeing any kind of widescreen support though.

Amusing, I've seen other ports to be kind of worse (deus ex 2).

While there's no builtin support via .ini editing: it picks from predefined resolutions inside the data files somewhere, they may be found/editable with time and patience which I lack.

However I did get it to run in 1920x1080 via Racer_S's Just Cause fixer seen here:

And interestingly this 'crap port of an old game' actually does widescreen fine, horizontally adding to the new resolution, no fov editing necessary.

original 1280x1024 chosen (highest available in-game)


same ingame choice, override to 1920x1080


I'll take tips on how to post images to this, first time I try attaching any :).

Oh and oddly enough, the overrider also somehow crippled the ad showing, not that it was intentional either.

Since this one works I wouldn't be surprised if the softth could be used to do this as well, just disable the sides to just increase res.

To post images directly to a forum post just past the direct url to the image inside the tags.

If that hack enables triplehead support I may have to abandon my PS2 version of this game and replay it.

Fixed the image tags. Also linked back from the URes Changer article. A Detailed Report would be nice.

Thanks Ibrin.

If I were to guess it should work with a TH2G, I have none so can't try it but the .ini is freetext to input any width and height resolution that your system can use.

Also, I've noticed the game sometimes starts out squeezing the image on the left but eventually gets fixed on the next loading.

The menus are on the left size and most huds get stretched all over.

Seems to cause some crashing though, I've crashed twice so far. But could just be vista being a (censored), it's already corrupted my mp3 players firmware tonight and it ain't recognizing anything else usb atm.

I've wanted to play this game for a very long time, but I'm having issues. I've been trying to get the widescreen fix to work with URes Changer and I'm not having any luck. I have my resolution set to 1920x1080 in the URes config file, and I copied the files into the game directory. It will play the opening cut-scenes in full resolution, but when gameplay starts it will just make a 1024x768 window for the game in the upper left corner and leave the rest of the screen black. I have the FilePlanet free version installed on an XP machine with a 7900GT video card. Am I doing something wrong? Any help appreciated. Thanks.

Keep trying different WS resolutions till you find one that works for you.

For me it works with these:

[MAIN]
#Resolution
Width=1280
Height=720

#Force windowed mode (may not work in all cases)
Windowed=0

#Enable this if the window appears clipped ( 0 or 1 )
ForceViewport=1

Mine worked first try, resolution.ini is:
[MAIN]
#Resolution
Width=1920
Height=1080
#Force windowed mode (may not work in all cases)
Windowed=0
#Enable this if the window appears clipped ( 0 or 1 )
ForceViewport=1

In-game I had chosen the highest available, 1280x1024.
I also noticed it takes the image and squeezes it into the left area on first run, fixes itself after a while of play.

Any other word on this? I'm not going to do this if it means risking USB recognition and my MP3 player firmware.

[BlueMak]

How can a FOV "patch" cause USB and Mp3 player corruption...?

[Mesh]

Please care for the context of things, the fov part has nothing to do, I simply mentionned it in a possible explanation for why I'm crashing. In other words, read all the words, don't just look at them.

Yes master yoda, anything else?

[Mesh]

A bag of gummy bears and some water maybe?

Btw, no, I'm not green, short or hairy, and I resent your implication of it.

[MSxDOS]

How did you manage to get this working?
I get this using UResChanger2 and nothing changes during playing the game.

I was just about to upload a hack which allows any custom resolution, but now it's not needed.
jackfuste, Thanks for patched exe's :onethumb

Sorry to revive such an ancient thread, but I downloaded jackfuste's file and it doesn't seem to work for me. The game remains fixed at a 4:3 aspect ratio and a resolution of 1024x768. My own resolution is 1366x768. Is there something else I need to do besides replacing the game files?

Using Racer_S resolution fixer causes the same problem as described by this user:

I've wanted to play this game for a very long time, but I'm having issues. I've been trying to get the widescreen fix to work with URes Changer and I'm not having any luck. I have my resolution set to 1920x1080 in the URes config file, and I copied the files into the game directory.

Thanks for any help.

EDIT: I think I discovered what's wrong. Jackfruste says in his post 'Resolution 1280x1024 changed to widescreen'. These files were designed with that resolution in mind, but my monitor only goes up to1366x768 and the highest in-game resolution I get is 1024x768, so the files don't work for me. Any way around it?

[Athelas]

The second version worked perfectly. Thanks a lot!

[qqq]

Hi. Might i trouble you jackfuste with a little file for me as well? I run a 1600/900 display and the max i can choose is 1152/864. So those previous files don't work, i dont have 1280 to choose. The second file for Athelas works for me, but being only 1366 i have black borders up down, left and right. Maybe set a file that will run 1600/900 if i choose 1024/768 from the game? Thanks.
