Icewind Dale 800x500 problem

noone · December 16, 2011

Hello.

Clean installed IWD1+HoW+TotL then applied widescreen patch 3.05 and it didnt work.

It is possible to set different resolutions, but 800x500 fails.

Want 800x500 because i like big sprites and have a small monitor.

It did work very well in PST and BGT, obviously computer supports this resolution.

This is .debug file :

Log says that something is wrong with ./chitin.key

i dont understand how game engine works, but thought it might be useful too upload this chitin.key

so you could have a quick look without having to install the game.

What's so hard to understand in the quote statement ? And you still try. The problem is obviously not the same...

According to the readme it specifically states that there's different limits for different games and that IWD2 can run down to 480. Hence I tried.

Well without remaking the interface completely, you cannot have the GUI be smaller than the x600 ... you could figure that the readme is wrong.

So what about IWD 1 ?

It does support native 640x480 so it should be possible to make widescreen work at low resolutions, theoretically.

Maybe this issue is worth looking into, to make widescreen mod even better ? For future generations, you know...

Try using the latest WeiDU.exe as the setup-widescreen.exe from here.

Sorry, i dont understand what do you mean and how to do it..

Well, you go to the link, download the Windows Binary Archive file(.zip), and extract it to a folder, then you go to that folder copy the WeiDU.exe in it to the game folder and rename as "setup-widescreen.exe" and run that.

No difference.
