Guide: Skip Intros and play with widescreen support

[Bob Barnsen]

Just made a guide on how to skip intros (in case of crashes) and how to play in 1080p:

Doesn't work. When launching the game through steam it goes through install.bat and just says unknown error.

Best solution so far, if you do it correctly then you can at least run the game through Steam now. Smart fix with the changing of the player.exe, as that's what's wrongly set up in the first place.

Sadly no overlay but that's something that Disney needs to fix. (same with the fact that nobody actually 'owns' the game to start with due to a configuration error in the steam database)

Dont worry if the game doesnt look 1080p at first, it only renders that IN GAME. So menu's look crappy but thats normal.

So Disney, fix it and get working on that HD remake we all crave for ;)

My fault, missed the step after copying the files:
"- Run the SWGBWide_x1.exe executable and the patch will apply."

So this actually fixed the expansion for me in addition to widescreen support, thanks!

You sir, are the wind beneath my wings today. Thank you, this worked like a charm for me. Now to get the X-Wing and Tie Fighter games to work...

This actually got my game to finally boot! Great work!

However, the 1280x1024 resolution option is greyed out for some reason.
Any reason why?

According to http://pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Star_Wars:_Galactic_Battlegrounds#Widescreen_resolution:

Should you not be able to select a resolution of 1280x1024 in the options, run the game from wide_battlegrounds_x1.bat instead.

I guess renaming the .bat file instead then, it should work for you too if launching through Steam.

I got the widescreen res but I lost the ingame music. Any fix for that?

The ingame music is lost in this steam version for some reason. I hear the GOG.com version still has it and even runs out of the box...
