Thanks Haden for the latest fix to BO2. MUCH appreciated!

Latest fix for BO2 works great Donation incoming. Anyone that is using this fix should donate as well.

The only thing I noticed is that in the campaign the cinematics are vert+.

hey there, having an update problem today with FWS itself. Anyone else?

hanging on the Repo update....only saw one other post having the same problem a few pages back.

still happens with fresh re-install. Halp!


EDIT: those who help themselves.....

right clicked and ran "Troubleshoot Compatibility" windows did its thing and we seem to be operational now.

EDIT 2: whoa, spoke too soon. Repo update completes, messages indicate everything is updated/loaded, then crash as soon as I try to click on any of the game tabs. Clicked update and reload, messages indicate everything is ok, then crash as soon as I click on any other button/tab. I'll keep messing around with it here and report back.

EDIT 3: Seems to be running ok in Windows XP SP2 compatibility mode. Weird. This issue just popped in out of nowhere. Hope this post is helpful to anyone else having the same problem.

The Flawless Widescreen application/exe itself has not changed for quite some time now (~ 3 months)... only plugin updates have been pushed, I can't think of a situation where that would cause it to crash.

I'd suggesting uninstalling it, then deleting the remnant folder in the install location (uninstalling does not remove installed modules or the configuration file), then re-installing it, you should not need to run it in any sort of compatibility mode.

The public repository link is http://www.flawlesswidescreen.org/fws/p ... s_repo.xml - ensure that you can access it otherwise you will get errors.

Nothing to do for the black bars in AC3? (5:4)

Thanks!

Hayden, any chance you could look into this?

The scaling is fine...just that it's still spanned. Any way to get around adjusting the safezone X values?

minibrute, Stilton, emperor0013 and a few others are patiently waiting for a fix on this fan-favourite pc shooter

I've submitted a formal ticket as a bug towards valve...but I dont know if they'll ever get to it (right now theres only 8 votes for it...and it's difficult to know if they even have multi-monitors in their labs to test their fixes hence I think there's a slim chance they'll ever get on a fix.)

I know you've looked at this because I keep seeing the plugin version increasing. It is up to ver 1.0.130 rev f now, however every time I try to play Tribes Ascend it still gives me a unsupported. Is it a work in progress or am I doing something wrong?

I have had the same problem where the FWS hangs at updating for the past week. I tried reloading plug-ins and re-updating the plug-ins but i could get to select a game. When I tried to exit out then the error would occur. I uninstalled the app and the remnent folder along with running ccleaner after words and rebooted my machine. After a clean install of FWS I had the same results...until I started clicking on each of the plug-ins individually almost like I had to kick start it. Ever since then its been working fine.

I've covered multiple times, pages back - ever since Valve changed the way the value is used the fix can no longer be applied without intrusive code injection, which is not something one does lightly on a Valve VAC protected game.
