Widescreen Gaming Forum

Not "completely" but it's still going to be a thorn in my eye.

Heck, i don't play any of my games that don't run at native res anymore... I have since turned off scaling so those games look tiny on my 30inch monitor.

Never forget, you the user also have rights. Just because the artist "forces" his "vision" on your product that you bought and paid for doesn't mean you don't have the right to fix his "vision" to your standards.

I'm sick of the consumer (gotta love that word, synonymous for slave aka corporate whore) getting shafted all the damn time.

With big thanks to Racer_S ... :D ... 8)

He made this tool to remove the bars on the sides for TripleHead but it can also remove the bars from the top and bottom in widescreen ...

TripleHead info here ... http://www.widescreengamingforum.com/node/8818

The tool is DirectX 9 only at the moment ...
Download the tool from here ... CLICK ME
Unzip the tool anywhere you like ... I'm using XP and mine is in the games main directory/folder ... C:Program FilesUbisoftAssassin's Creed ...
Run the tool ... leave it running ...
Set it as follows for 1920x1200 ... or your desired resolution
Choosing your version of the game ... mine is the UK shop bought version.
EDIT: This Aspect setting in the screenshot below should work for all 16:10 resolutions.


Follow the instructions on the front of the tool to adjust the aspect Ratio/FOV if you so desire as it will vary for different aspect ratios ... 4:3 ... 5:4 ... ... etc.


Just input the res you are using for other resolutions ... the other settings should stay the same.
Start the game ...
Press the * key on the number pad to enable the tool ...
If for any reason the graphics get messed up going from menu to in-game or back ... just disable the tool with the / key on the number pad and re enable it with the * key ...

That's it ... enjoy ... :D

Before ... 1920x1200 ...


After ...
The HUD does stretch a little with this tool enabled.


EDIT: I updated the settings screenshot due the findings of Punisher|ITA ... see his post/s below ...

Sweet! Mad props to Racer_S once again. I wonder if this will fix the pixelization issue.

If it does, he's getting a donation.

Racer_S pwns once again!

Question: If I'm playing on 16:10 aspect ratio 1440x900 rez, what do I set the Aspect on the tool to?

That is the same aspect ratio as 1920x1200 ... so use the setting in the screenshot of the tool above.

This solution has a very bad bug... look:

As far as I can tell it is only there in the pause menu ... is that really so bad ?

Nope it is present always when there is the blooming effect... anyway I saw that playing with Aspect Ratio could fix it.

That is good news ... I haven't seen it in the game.
What is the setting that you have for the aspect ratio that fixes it ?

Thanks ... :D

The perfect setting for 1680*1050 is 0,6247!!! Perfect simmetry for both nitid and blooming scenes.
