Widescreen Gaming Forum

Thanks for the patch, but there is a major problem with it. I have a custom resolution of 1152x648 which works perfectly, but during any dialog sequence the subtitles and different replies you can choose are invisible.

Anyone else get this problem? It may be something to do with the screen shrinking vertically during these scenes. Any chance of getting this fixed?? The game is unplayable as is.

Actually with a bit more experimentation, it seems that everything works fine as long as the custom resolution has a 4:3 aspect ratio. But using some widescreen resolutions results in the screen being shifted to the right inside a smaller view window.

I am using a Sony HD CRT hooked up to a 9800 Pro, which would account for any overscan, but would not explain the absence of text subtitles during dialogues. I use 1152x648 res for everything which fits my TV perfectly. Anyone out there get this res or any other widescreen res working properly with the patch? I'd hate to think I'm the only one having problems.

well i have the same exact resolution.... and the same exact problem! :)

ati 9800 pro 256mb.... full screen on Sony 50inch lcd tv... very hot...

yet with the patch the dialogue is invisible....

wish it can be fixed... :)

dont anybody read thoses forums in summer? :P

i was midway through the game playing in 800x600.... cause i coudnt make work a widescreen res.... but now i just cant keep playing untill i find a fix to this!! its too hot! :P

I sent Arcus a PM about this, but he might be on vacation or something. He also might be swamped with life and work, and such things. I haven't heard back. You might, very nicely, send him a PM or email about the issue. But, PLEASE do not hound him on it.

He joined less than a month ago, and jumped in and hacked three games within his first couple of weeks. While we all want this fixed, let's not drive anyone off. :wink:

Also, remember it might not be anything that he can fix...

if you already sent him one pm i dont see why i should "harrass" him any further... :)

i will keep "praying" that this gets fixed cause it really looked awesome on a 50inch tv.... really.... mad... hehe...

well just like mostly any game when i manage to "hack" them.... and half of the "hacks" came from your lists.... which i just love!! this site ownz! :)

Anyone else try this patch out? I thought this game would be more popular.

I tried it, but I was more worried about the bugs that made the game next to impossible to play, than getting it working in widescreen.

Did you have the same dialogue issues? What res did you try at?

I tried 1680x1050, and some of the text was missing in conversations - it was only really bad in coversations where there were multiple dialog choices; 1280x768 works 'fine', but I think that's a hybrid of 1024x768 and 1280x1024, which are two of the valid resolutions, so that might be why.

I didn't start a new game when I got my Dell panel, I continued from where I had got up too. Hence, bugs = giving up and uninstalling.
