I was not able to find any of these in the hex editor. Do they still work? Anyone else able to get them to work?

I did get it to work. I have a DLL for 3440x1440 after the update.

DM me I can send it

Never noticed you need to be friends to send a DM. I need a dll for 5120x1440 or the Hex location to edit the dll.

Can someone upload the DLL file with all aspect ratio, chat bubble, and FOV fixes for 3440x1440? None of the existing links still work.

Or explain to me why I can't find any of the values when I open the DLL in a hex editor and try to do a search for "1810968" or "39 8E E3 3F"? Seems like a lot of other people can't find those values in a hex editor either and I'm not seeing any comments explaining why.

Blows my mind that it's 2024 and games are still being released without ultrawide support.

Values might have changed due to updates.

The worst part is: the game technically can support it, but the devs can't be a$$ed to add it themselves to the game. It's ridiculous.

Well the good news is I found a mod on Nexus Mods and was able to get it working and it looks great. The bad news is it's a little more complex than simply opening a DLL in a Hex Editor and finding the right value and changing it. Also annoying that if you build a new computer or reinstall the game, you have to do it all again. Not ideal. But hey, if you want ultrawide EDF, keep reading.

NOTE: You have to have an account with Nexus Mods to download files from there. I already had one cuz it's a great site for game mods. It's free. As easy as any other signup. They've never spammed my inbox.

1. Google "Nexus mods Earth Defense Force 6 Moist patches". That will get you to the right page.

2. When you go to download it, it will tell you that you need to download BlueAmulet's Modloader first and it will provide a link to the Github page.

3. On the Github page download EDFModLoader.zip and Plugins6.zip (5 if you're trying to do this to EDF5).

4. Place the contents of EDFModLoader.zip in your game's root directory.

5. Place the contents of Plugins6.zip in the Mods folder you now have in the game's root directory.

6. Now you can grab the Moist patches file from Nexus Mods. In it there are a number of text documents that do various fixes that are loaded in by that ModLoader from Github when you launch the game. Some look kind of useful if you want to check them out, but I only care about the Ultrawide text file. Place that Ultrawide text file in the Mods>Patches directory you now have in your game folder.

7. Now we need to edit the text file because it's designed to have multiple options for people with different sized ultrawides. Open it with Notepad. The settings are made null by the author placing a semicolon ";" symbol in front of them. So all we're doing is going down the text until we see "; Screen Size | Use Only One" and we're deleting the extra lines of code for the resolutions we don't care about. So if you're 21:9 like most ultrawides you want to keep the (3440x1440) line, and delete the rest of the resolution lines. Then you have to remove that semicolon in front of the 3440x1440 line to "activate" it.

8. You can also look beneath the resolution section and see the "Fix Chat Bubble Alignment" section. When we do ultrawide, it messes with the text in the text boxes. For me, keeping the "ChatBubbleFix2" option was better than the first option. It got the text closer to the middle of the chat bubble. Same as the resolution. Delete the "ChatBubbleFix1" line and remove the semicolon from the "ChatBubbleFix2" line.

9. Save and exit the text file. Launch the game. You might see a white screen for a few seconds. That's normal. Game should launch after 5-10 seconds.

That's it. I didn't mess with the FOV options at the bottom and everything looks fine so I don't plan on doing so. I have ultrawide in EDF6 now and it's so much better than being letterboxed in on an ultrawide monitor in a game with so much happening on screen.

You'll see people around the internet asking if there's a fix for the HUD on ultrawide. Yes, the HUD looks a little off in the sense that it's not pushed out all the way to the very edges of the screen, but honestly, it's not bad and I don't really care to try to work on that. I stopped noticing after a few minutes of gameplay.

So there you have it. Doing what the devs should have done. Kind of glad I waited for this $20 off sale, cuz paying full price for a game and then having to mod it to work as it should doesn't sit well with me. Hope this helps some people.

I just reinstalled the game to test the edits. Even after the newest patches the offsets are still the same:

UW Fix:
Replace 39 8E E3 3F to desired aspect ratio.

Offset doesn't matter in this case since the hex value 39 8E E3 3F only exists one time in the dll. You can just ctrl + f for it.

1. Open EDF.dll with any hex editor
2. Search for "39 8E E3 3F" this only exists 1 time in the .dll
3. Replace with the value for your screen:

2560x1080 = 26 B4 17 40
3440x1440 = 8E E3 18 40
3840x1600 = 9A 99 19 40
3840x1600 = 39 8E 63 40
5760x1080 = AB AA AA 40


Change FOV
Go to Offset 1764210 switch DB 0F 49 3F to prefered FOV
DB 0F 49 3F = 0.7853982

Use https://www.h-schmidt.net/FloatConverter/IEEE754.html

Examples:
1.1 = CD CC 8C 3F
1.0 = 00 00 80 3F
0.9 = 66 66 66 3F
0.8 = CD CC 4C 3F

I've seen others have the same problem as I did with the DLL. I opened that DLL in HxD Hex Editor and control F'd and couldn't find any of those values. Whether I searched for the offset or the hex value.

That's not possible unless you already edited your .dll and you're giving me heavy vibes that you just can't use HxD properly from the way you word your post.

First of all ofc you can't ctrl + f to jump to an offset that's not what the search function is for. Secondly you must switch to the hex value search - just pressing ctrl + f will default to the text string search.

Thanks for the info. Could you be less of a condescending nerd about it next time?

The nice thing about the method I posted is that I actually explained it step by step instead of expecting people to know random information about a program they're going to use exactly one time to do this fix for this game.

My method also provides them with other mods they can apply at the same time they're fixing ultrawide. Including the text box fix.

I mean you could have used 5 minutes of your time to ask chatgpt. Don't blame the messenger.
Ratman 4 DIC 2024 a las 7:15 p. m. 
Or you could have responded with instructions without the attitude. Or, if you were too lazy to provide instructions, you could have simply not responded.

This is a help thread. You aren't being helpful.

Don't blame the guy that called you out.

If you are using HxD (Recommended)

You use Ctrl G to GOTO an offset/location.

CTRL F works if look for Hex Value (Tab 2) Example: 39 8E E3 3F in the OP answer or RUMI's post. The values are UNCHANGED, they have new locations.

To change FOV highlight DB 0F 49 3F. Look on the right hand side you should see Special editors. Change the Single (Float32) value of 0.785398185253143, then press ENTER, no calculator needed. If you type 1.1 for example you will get 1.10000002384186, don't worry, its fine.

If you can't find those values or have messed it up and forgot to make a copy, delete the DLL, verify files with Steam to retry. User error, it happens.
