Resolution and controls

I seem to remember this game being locked to 640x480, can anyone confirm this is the case, or am I misremembering?

Also, does the game feature any kind of controller support? I'm not expecting miracles with Xbox 360 controller support or anything like that, just wondering if a controller can be used at all, or if it's keyboard and mouse only.

Wouldn't mind playing through it again, and probably will either way, but it's nice to know these things beforehand.

and replace the original files in your game's directory.

By the way

"4:3 aspect ratio only. Selecting a 16:9 resolution will only 'stretch' the image. Select a 4:3 resolution to see the correct aspect ratio displayed. "

For example, I use 1280x1024
Or my custom Nvidia resolution(for advanced users only) 1440x1080.

Enjoy! This is old but Great game!

This works fine, but sadly steam overlay isn't working, and I don't want to set it as a non-steam game. Any ideas?

I'm sorry if I misunderstood but why would you need to set it as a non-steam game to play it?

I don't, unless I want it to track my hours and allow me to take screenshots/use the steam overlay. If I use the fix Scorpion gave out, and launch the game through the launcher, it does not launch it through steam and instead launches it independant from steam. So, the only way I could get the overlay working is by setting the replaced executable as a non-steam game.

Im having the same problem. I did the resolution fix, but when i launch the game on steam its the old resolution setting. It only works if i do it from the launcher its self, but i wont have the steam overlay.

Same problem here and the some bugs are ocouring in the menu with the files uploaded by scorpion. These files dont make a proper match with the Steam version, whatahell, thanks a lot for the help and lets make a lot of noise in the Steam Support.

I know that Steam does not support old games, they push it on sale as is. That is why I prefer do not buy old games in Steam, cuz usually old games has problems and issues that you can fix only by nonofficial tweaks. I use non Steam version and happy. If you want to get achievements you will have to use "as is" (with 640x480 and shadows like rounded spot).

Sad but true...

Well considering "Steam" is a store, obviously they don't "support" anything, it's on the publisher.

And if the only solution is a "nonofficial tweak" that works the same on the Steam version or a non-Steam version...what exactly is the difference?

Major noob here guys, so here goes an elementary query - how exactly do you replace the files in your game directory? I can't find a 7Z file in the AITD SteamApps folder like the one downloaded from Scorpion's link. Should I delete something from there? Or should I move all of the AITD files out of the Steam folder area? Thanks...

.7z is a file archive like a .zip or .rar.
Download 7zip (it's free and much better than winrar) and use it to open the .7z file.
You can then just drag and drop the files from there.
Cheers!

so, there is no way to play this game through steam using this fix? there is no way to force steam to use launch.exe instead of alone4.exe?

I can't imagine this being hard to fix but no one seems to care.

i know that this could be seen as a minor problem, but for me it really matters being able to start a game from steam propely and being able to use the steam features like the overlay and playtime counts...i was really exited to replay this classic, but i can play it through steam with poor resolution or i can play it outside steam with evertyhing maxed out...is it really that hard to do both?

there must be a way...why if i start the game through the launcher and set resolution and
high quality option, the game doesn't save these settings when i start it from the main .exe?

Whats a DInput controller? I just need to know if it works with my xbox 360 controller.

That's not a DirectInput controller.

Still work, though. It's just you can't use triggers but if you choose a function to rebind then hit enter, you can then press a button on the 360 controller to bind this function to the button. Characters moves doesn't require binds. Left analog stick is working by default in the menu and in-game.

Here's how I mapped the buttons :
Action/Fire : A
Flashlight : Y
Run : X
Inventory : Start
Map : Back
Radio : LB
Freelook : B
Aim : RB

It's basically old Resident Evil PS1 control layout, aiming with R1 (RB on 360) and firing with Cross (A on 360) and running with Square (X on 360).

In menus, with this layout, A to validate and Y to cancel. And to move in the menus, it's the same as moving the characters, use the left analog stick.

Triggers are not required in such an old game, so I guess we can say 360 controller work fine with this game once you map the buttons manually.

Add the new launch.exe file as a non-steam game? Non-steam game can also use steam overlay :)

You can even rename the launch.exe file if you don't want to have the "launch" name in your games library. For example : "Alone in the Dark - The New Nightmare - High-Res.exe" will be displayed as "Alone in the Dark - The New Nightmare - High-Res"

That's 5:4, not 4:3 ;)

Yeah. Highest 4:3 resolution available in the launcher is 1280x960 (twice 640x480). To check if a resolution is 4:3, divide the width by the height
and it should give you 1.3333333333 (16:9 for games give 1.777777777777778)

Erm, it can't really be a problem for this game as the Steam release doesn't have any achievements. Achievements appeared with the XBOX 360 and the more recent console this game was released on was the DreamCast.
