widescreen mod not working with soa + tob


Guest josh

Recommended Posts

heres what i did:

 

1. installed soa

2. installed tob

3. patched to 2498 (or whatever the latest version off biowares website is)

4. ran bgconfig

5. installed widescreen mod

 

did not work. i uninstalled and reinstalled, then ran bgconfig, still did not work. every time i installed the widescreen mod, bgconfig would try and get me to reconfigure my settings.

 

what should i do?

You need to start the game and watch the initial cutscene at least once before installing the WSM.
Yes, and after the game autosaves, one can start this by exiting the game and...
...
The installation process to get 1650x1050 res. that is if your monitor and videocard can handel it.

Start the exe and extract it to the game folder, after this it ask's a questions, do as the bolded letters say.

Would you like to display the readme? [Y]es [N]o

Push N and Enter

Install Component [Widescreen mod]? nstall, or [N]ot Install or [Q]uit?

Push I and Enter

Enter your X coordinate. It should be a number, >= 800.

Insert 1650 , and push Enter

Enter your Y coordinate. It should be a number, >= 600.

Insert 1050 , and push Enter

Do you want fullscreen? (doesn't work for non-standard resolutions)

1 = yes

0 = no

Push 1 and Enter

1650x1050, fullscreen. Are you sure? Y/N

Push Y . Done!! Start the game the exe.

I'm having the same problem.

I've started the game several times.

Every time I reinstall the Widescreen patch I have to go into the Config menu.

When I then get into the game I got 800 x 600 res.

 

If I go through the config menu and then enter the game, exit, then reinstall the widescreen patch everything goes back to default.

 

Please help!

I really want to see what BG looks like in 1680x1050! :band:

I installed the wsm but it doesnt work, I've treid everything uninstalling wsm reinstalling it and then waiting for the cutscene and the autosave, restarting and then reinstalling the wsm. It didnt work :< I'm playing from my laptop and its res is 1440x900 and would really love to get it working. I also treid uninstalling all of BG@ soa and tob and then installing the wsm, I'm using windows vista if that could be a cause... an help would be much appreciated.

 

thx,

 

Conrad.

How exactly does it not work? Can you post your setup-widescreen.debug? Was WSM must uninstalled when you started your dummy game?

The way its not working is when I start up baldurs gate soa it stays in 600x400 res. However I installed BG2 soa and tob on another PC which has a normal monitor res, I ran BG2 installed the wsm and it worked I was able to set the res to 1600x1200 np, but I really want to be able to run it on my laptop as its the only PC i use a lot. I don't really have a clue what wrong :)

 

thx,

btw I'm also sure that I uninstalled wsm before running the dummy game, but can you define which cut scene i need to wait for? is it the intro movie or the opening scene of the game, whch is what I've been waiting for. On my other PC I installed SoA and ToB the only actual difference is that I started up ToB instead of SoA. But I can't imagine that that matters because it was in 1600x1200 from the first introduction movie. Thx for the help!

It's the one with Irenicus, you can exit after his little speech and Imoen comes to you, as the game autosaves itself. That's after you have started a new game and created a new char or continued with old.

 

1600x1200
You sure the video card and monitor in the laptop can handle this. And the game can't run 600x400 res. as there is no such resolution status for monitors...
