First thing's first though.... the annoying Piranha bytes movie must die.

Rename the following and the game will skip straight to the menu.

Trying to fix the HUD.

Cool, just getting this game now. It's got average reviews, but hopefully it will be good.

Love the orginal Gothic series and Risen 1 and disappointed this one does not support multi-monitor res out of the box ... hopefully looking forward to a Helifax / Hayden fix! Many thanks guys, just signed up to say you guys rock - having saved many games for me already (Skyrim & ME3 in particular ;) ) !

Holly shit you fixed it! :) man I can not wait to play this in multi its a real great game played it after work yesterday for a very long time its basically Skyrim but pirates, if you have played the Gothic 3 this game will make you think as to what Gothic 5 could be like.

Awesome work.

BTW here is a graphics fix if you want it pimped with massive draw distances and not much pop up:

Go to you Steam install dir: D:Program Files (x86)Steamsteamappscommonrisen 2dataini

Back up and open the file : ConfigDefault.xml

Look for this section:

ProcessEntitiesEnabled="true"
TemplateLoading="1"
ViewRangeQuality="High"
>

Replace all the values in the tags

With this content here is a example of the one

Item_Small="4000.0"
Item_Medium="8000.0"
Item_Large="12000.0"
NPC_Small="4000.0"
NPC_Medium="8000.0"
NPC_Large="12000.0"
Level_Small="7000.0"
Level_Medium="12500.0"
Level_Large="18000.0"
Object_Small="3000.0"
Object_Medium="9000.0"
Object_Large="14000.0"
SpeedTree_Small="6000.0"
SpeedTree_Medium="14000.0"
SpeedTree_Large="25000.0"
Events_Small="3000.0"
Events_Medium="5000.0"
Events_Large="7500.0"
Effects_Small="3500.0"
Effects_Medium="7500.0"
Effects_Large="12500.0"
Lights="14000.0"
Terrain="100000.0"
>


These values will deck out the LOD, minimal pop up and a bunch of other settings makes it look crazy good. Best thing is use this content for the low, medium and high

One more tweak look for:

Quality="High"
WindBase="1.0"
WindFactor="1.5"
WindBendWeight="0.002"
WindWaveSpeed="2.0"
>
Set all the low medium high ultra to this:

Example

ViewRange="15000.000000"
Enabled="True"
Density="1"
>


I have attached my config file in case you do not want to tweak it your self, not this is max setting ULTRA

Hello all,

I managed to Fix the game to run in FULLSCREEN:

- No need of manually editing I don't know what configuration files
- Fixed the correct render on 3 Screens.
- Hud is spanned on all 3 Screens, but with an incorrect AR. (The engine is highly volatile and crashes alot which made it nearly impossible to fix this AR)
- Workaround provided for menus to properly scale them on the left monitor (if for some reason the AR doesn't do it for you)
- Also works with 3D Vision Surround.
- Haven't tested it on Eyefinity but it should work.


How to:

Important:
- Start the game.
- Select from Options the resolution of your 1 monitor Ex: for 5760x1080 select 1920x1080. If this is not done, the game will crash when the fix enabled!!!

Then:
- Get the plugin and put it in WideScreen Fixer/Plugins folder.
- Configure the plugin.
- Start the game.
- The fix stars automatically starts so no need to manually enabled it.
- [b]Once you are in the main menu, ALT+TAB[b] out of the game and back to make it render on 3 Screens.
- Use the workaround key if needed
- Play the game:)

Let me know how it works for you:)

Best Regards,
Helifax
