Hi guys,


So, how do I do this for win7 ? I remember in the old days I did it like described earlier, with the compatibility tool etc etc. How about now, can you point me in the right direction ?

The same question. I tried and tried and tried to apply the HiRes Fix, and it don´t work in my W7.

All suggestions are welcome!!!

Regards.

I too am curious and confused about the res fix, as there are conflicting methods it seems.
One thing that confuses me is the res fix appears to be for XP SP2 .. well I'm running SP3 ... is there any difference? I'm hesitant to apply anything described as being for SP2 when I'm running SP3, until I've been assured that it'll work without breaking my OS. :hmmm:
Also, someone said they got higher res just by changing a setting in their Main.cfg. I haven't tried this, but shall, just to see if it DOES work. That would be nice, but if it were actually that easy, I doubt there would be all of these somewhat confusing instructions and questions.
I was afraid of resurrecting a dead thread, but I see it was just resurected last week, so I don't feel so bad. :shifty:

FWIW I had no problems using the Res Fix in XP SP3. :DL

I also got it to work in Win7, altho not without a lot of tweaking because I prefer to run the game in a 4:3 ratio (fullscreen) instead of stretching it out to fill my WS monitor and I have yet to fully investigate what's going on with the different WS mods. What I did is outlined in this post:

That's with an ATI Radeon gfx card and the most recent (AFAIK) version of Catalyst Control Center.

Win7 users can also check this thread about Win7 in general as IIRC it contains a lot of discussion about resolution issues.

Thank you for your re-assurance :D that's all I needed, to know someone else had it work ok in SP3
Works fine for me here now too.
Surprisingly, the game now runs smoother and is MUCH more responsive as well. Go figure. The system likes it when games run at my desktop resolution.
Also, WAY WAY cleaner image, with 4x AA and 8x Ani. NO jaggies AT ALL .. should make hunting much nicer ..
Much better ... why the heck did Ubi limit the resolution ... beyond me ... thanks to the community, once again .....
:salute: :yeah:
hmmm ... where'd the 'beer toast' smiley go ...

:()1:

For that one, I think you have to click on the smiley icon at the top (next to the font options) and then hit "show all smilies" and you get a popup window with a lot of add'l ones to choose from.

Glad it worked out for you - SINK 'EM ALL! :arrgh!:

In the MaGUI WideScreen Mod, there is included a d3d9.dll by Seeadler. This dll makes work the WS GUI in 1360x768. I try it, but I´m not sure about the change of resolution is visible in the camera/bridge views. With this dll, the FRAPS works fine (not with Kegety´s ResFix).

I don´t know about if it is a working fix for graphics (exteriors), or only a fix for Wide Screen.

Best regards.
