Widescreen Gaming Forum

I dug this game out again recently, probably for the first time since I had a widescreen monitor, and couldn't find any other posts on here about it so thought I'd report what I found.

Your chosen settings are held in a file Program FilesGames - Secret Weapons Over NormandyGameDatasaveconfig.cfg

I played around with changing the resolution and examining what it changed in the config file, and from what I can tell byte 16 (hex) appears to hold the chosen X resolution divided by 8, and byta 1A appears to hold the chosen Y resolution divided by 8.

So I did manage to tweak the game from 1600x1200 up to 1920x1200 by:
1) In the game, setting the resolution to 1600x1200 and the various detail settings as you wish them.
2) Exit out of the game.
3) Look at the config.cfg in a hex editor, you'll see byte 16 contains C8 and byte 1A contains 96. C8, 96 hex = 200, 150 decimal, x8 = 1600x1200.
4) Change byte 16 from C8 to F0. This gives F0, 96 hex = 240, 150 decimal, x8 = 1920x1200.

Like so:


The HUD appears correctly (not stretched) and it appears to be Hor+, so it actually works really nicely.

1600x1200 (4:3)


1920x1200 (16:10)


Unfortunately 2560x1600 would require a horizontal hex value of 140... which doesn't fit in one byte. So I've not found any way to set it any higher than 1920x1200.

Implode.

Sorry for the necrothreading, but as I get confused by all this hex stuff could someone tell me what i should change to get
1680x1050

thanks in advance...

ps:
in 3: he says "96 hex = 200"
in 4: he says "96 hex = 240"
it cant be both, and according to windows calculator 96 hex = 150
