1024*600 problem with IWD2

[Guest arclogo]

Well, I have just installed all the good old Black Isle games to my new Aspire One (similar to EEE pc, but a better deal I would say). So I have PST, IWD2, BGT back to my hard drive now, only thing I need seems to be a resolution modifier.....and then there is this fabulous mod.....bingo!

 

I tried first with PST, 1024*600 works like a charm. Then I moved on to IWD2 (patched to 2.01 file downloaded from Sorcerer's place)......the installation of this mod to 1024*600 is done without error; but when I start the iwd2.exe, the lovely MS error box pops up telling me "The instruction at "blablabla" referenced memory at "blablabla". The memory could not be "read""......etc.....

 

My first remedial attempt was to replace the iwd2.exe with original one (before applying XP cap hack from sorcerer's place), but there seems to be no difference at all. Then I tried to set resolution target to 800*600 in the mod, which actaully worked out but I guess this does't actually solve the problem, right? Whenever I try to increase X resolution beyond 800 (in windows mode as non-standard values), same MS memory error pops up.....

 

I checked out the debug file, but it seems to indicate nothing wrong there (no warning, no error etc.).......So I am now really at my ends........HELP!!!....maybe?

I have just tried this mod with a transplanted 10G+ BGT mega installation, and the 1024*600 resolution works out just fine.......So I guess there could only be two possibilities for the IWD2 problem then:

 

1. the game engine of IWD supports a minimum resolution of 800*600 while both BG2 and PST supports resolutions as low as 640*480, which makes it (currently) impossible for this widescreen mod to extend IWD2 game play resolution to 1024*600.

 

2. I got a very wrong IWD2 game version and my iwd2.exe is totally messed up.

 

I would probably vote for the first case as this means time to hassle Bigg for a new update .......

Sorry, it works for me.

Getting the same problem. Can't run IWD2 with 1024x600 on my EEE.

This is the output I'm getting from my terminal (I'm running the game through WINE):
