Thanks again Helifax. This new plugin is the best yet. The auto enabling feature works perfectly for me. The only thing I notice now is that the text in books is slightly offset to the right. They are perfectly readable and it really takes nothing away, just thought I'd point it out. The map is now perfect and the locations are in the correct places. If the books and map offset are tied together somehow, it's much better this way. If the aren't independent, and either the books or map have to be offset, I'd much rather see it stay as it is now. The map locations are much more important than the book text being slightly off.
Thanks!

Hi all,
Fix will now enable itself automatically after 4 seconds once the TESV.exe was launched into execution - So no more manually enabling it.. Please test this and let me know if it works (Main menu should be perfectly scaled)
Helifax

Perfect, just tried it and it works exactly as advertised. Most excellent :) Btw the main menu does scale perfectly just the imperial symbol is kind of squashed and half way into the first and second screen. Oh and the dialog box for fast travel is still full size, occupies the entire third screen and doesn't show its text inside (this is how it shows by default as well)

[quote][quote]I'm very new to the whole triple monitor thing as well as this forum. I may not even be putting this post at the end :)

First thanks to Hayden and Helifax for putting all this work into these fixes. Those of us who can't code really appreciate it!

I'm running a Radeon 6950 setup. I'm wondering what the best resolution would be to run the game in. I keep hearing 5040x1050 referred to as "normal". What do you mean by normal?
I've been getting it to run at 5760x1080. Would it look better at 5040x1050? If so, is there a way to get my monitors to think they can do that? I'm running 3 ASUS VE278Q. I don't think they offer that resolution. Unless i'm mistaken.

Thanks for your help!!

No, running this at 5760x1080 is what you want to do and there is no reason to try and change it. It would not look better for you at 5040x1050. You want to run this at your combined nativel resolution for your system, it's just that, for a lot of people, that resolution is 5040x1050. I run at the same resolution you do.

Phrayzur,

If you are sure that something isn't right about how your display looks it could also be your FOV (Field of View) settings. I am at work right now and I can't remember if WSF has a setting for FOV. I know HaYDeN's last fix had a modifyable setting for FOV when you ran it but I'm not sure about WSF. Anyway if you want to mess with your field of view. below is how you can manually modify it in the skyrim.ini file. If you think the your game looks fine as is and were just wondering if you would get a better look with the other resolution I wouldn't mess with this. I think my FOV is set to 90 but I can't remember for sure.

The default Field of View is fairly narrow — between 60 and 75 — which works well for TVs, since you’re sitting further away from the screen, but PC gamers are more accustomed to higher FOVs. Compare the default FOV to a FOV of 90.
1. Go to your My Documents -> My Games -> Skyrim -> skyrim
2. Create a backup of the skyrim.ini file
3. Open the file, then scroll down to where it says [General]
4. At the bottom of this section, add fdefaultfov=XX (where XX is the FOV value you want to change to)
5.Save, exit, and play


Also, if you just think the game graphics could look better you are right and there are plenty of graphics mods on Skyrim Nexus that you can download to make this game look a whole lot better.

Helifax, ur latest fix works well, but im getting an annoying amount of mouse lag. It didnt happen on ur r312 fix.
Could u look into this?

Edit: found some new things after testing
*Compass tends to switch screens when leaving menus
*skills menus scales incorrectly (oddly it fixes itself if you open the items menu, close it, and then open skills again)

For the skills, sometimes I noticed is not scalling properly the 1st time. You just need to close it and re-open it. For the compass thing, that is a known issue described in the DR also and 1st post of the fix:)

I noticed that the HUD centering is slightly to the left in other games when using Eyefinity, as well. I never did pinpoint the issue since all of the resolution values and bezel offsets lined up correctly. I'll revisit this when I get a chance and see what I can come up with.

Regarding not making the source code public,
I keep it closed because I see no reason at the moment to make it public. It won't really help anyone. If someone is interested in developing plugins or making fixes for games, just get a hold of me and I'll work with you. Another reason is that Widescreen Fixer itself, and the library APIs, are constantly changing. As games come out and new methods are needed or I come up with better ways of doing things the API will be updated and changed to meet the needs. Making the source public will cause people to create plugins for specific APIs that break during the next update. Just with helifax alone we ran into the API problem. With the source closed this makes it necessary for people to get in contact with me and we can merge plugins, update plugins, add new plugins, etc. and they get maintained more easily that way.

I agree with this logic and I don't think any of the other developers here are asking for this so much as they would just like to understand what is being fixed. I think the concern here is that a lot of people plan on playing this game for a long time like Oblivion and people are worried that if Helifax and HaYDeN dissapear that no one else knows what to do to keep these fixes going. I think people just want the source to figure this part out. I am learning but I am still a long way of even being able to write a plug in for your WSF.

I added helifax's fix to SVN and cleaned up a few things.

Download the new version (r394) from the Widescreen Fixer website. The newest Skyrim plugin is included so don't overwrite it with the files found in posts older than this one.

Hi,

I know I dont do any AR corrections (Aspect Ratios) since this only appears in the menu and loading screens. Until Skyrim finishes all the damn updates I will not look into it...Once we have a FINAL release then I can add alot of things to it.... Why I do this? Because is easier for me to maintain the fix with each patch...

Best Regards,
