Widescreen Gaming Forum

Quick update:
Updated Battlefield 2142, BioShock, and Halo plugins to work with the new API. I've got a few more games to update and that will be done.

From there I can start working more features for it, and hopefully more games.

New version out. I added a new feature which really is only taken advantage of with Call of Duty: World at War. It will display which version of the game is detected to help me out with supporting users who have problems getting it to work. I just need to reinstall a bunch of games to get .exe MD5 checksums.



2010 October 31:
[list]
[*][Library.Plugin] Updated API to 1.2. GameSupported was added.[/*:m]
[*][Library.WSF] Two new functions added: GetProcessPath() and CalculateMD5Checksum().[/*:m]
[*][Widescreen Fixer] When a plugin is set and the game is running, it will run a checksum on the .exe file. It compares the checksum with some pre-set checksums and displays which version the game is. It will display Retail, Steam, Unsupported, etc. The purpose of this is to make it easier for me to help users when they contact me.[/*:m]
[*][Widescreen Fixer] New application icon (although this will likely change again real soon).[/*:m]
[*][Widescreen Fixer] Reorganized the About tab and added a link to Widescreen Gaming Forum.[/*:m]
[*][Game.*] Updated all game plugins to use API 1.2.[/*:m]
[*][Game.Darkest of Days] Dropped "Demo" from the plugin name. The demo will just be handled as a game version.[/*:m][/list:u]

Awesome :))

Any idea if this will work for CoD Black Ops also?

If Black Ops does not work out of the box, it's something I'll have to look into after its release. There is currently no support for Black Ops already within Widescreen Fixer. However, given that its the same engine as the previous Call of Duty games, it should be relatively easy to add support for it once it's released.

First of all, thank you for this nice tool :)

I'm wondering if I can safely use your tool with Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer(and maybe Black Ops if that gets support).
I just don't want to risk getting my Steam account banned for using "hacks".

Thx in advance :)

I've been using Widescreen fixer for MW2 for 750+ hours and i havent been banned for it yet, so my guess is its perfectly safe to use.

I see. Well that is good news.

Btw. Welcome to the forums! :cheers Did you sign up just to answer my question? :hide

For me dopefish is the king for COD :D
I always use widescreenfixer never ban from steam
Thanks dopefish for all the work for people like us :bowdown :bowdown :bowdown

I'm going to be releasing a new version of Widescreen Fixer and all the plugins in a little bit. The API has changed some and there are a lot of changes to it. I fixed some crashes and got rid of some bugs (and probably added more). I'll update this post when I have a complete change list to show.

As for Black Ops, I don't have the funds for the game so I don't know when I can add support for it. If someone would be willing to gift me the game on Steam or donate enough that I can buy it myself, I would greatly appreciate that and have a fix out as soon as the game is ready. :)

I can't make any promises on whether you're safe or not. No one has ever emailed me saying they were banned because of it. At the same time I see threads on the Steam forum and people spreading information about Widescreen Fixer saying you'll get caught and banned. However, no one has really posted proof of being banned because of it. I know from my own personal use playing countless hours (even as recent as last week) that I have not been banned yet. Sarastrasza also states he's been using it a lot and has yet to be banned. So while I'd like to assure you and say it's perfectly fine to use, there's really no way of knowing 100% whether you'll be okay or not. It's a risk you'll have to take. I hope there is enough positive evidence that supports it being okay to use.

You know, I don't doubt that your work is fine and "innocent" and it seems that nobody is gonna be banned, but I would just feel more secure if Activision had come out and told us if it's allowed or not.

Hmm, gonna install Black Ops tomorrow, and from what I hear, we will be able to access it's console. If that is the case, I'm wondering what the fov command is called.

Any ideas?
