HiRes not Supported on my machine?

[Superrodris]

Hi,
I tried the solutions I saw on the steam discussions for this and wasn't lucky. I'm playing on Windows 10, nvidia geforce gtx 970m. Alienware 17 r3. Any ideas?
thanks.

Hahaha, you're gaming now man!

Such a crazy thing to not release a fix for.

They really should, but since Popcap is pretty dead on PC and totally devoted to phones I guess they don't care anymore.

I tried eveything that has been said here. Nothing worked.
I have GTX 1060. This error really makes me frustrated...

Losing hope in this ever working properly for me. My Compat's been edited, the WINE files are in the ProgramData folder, Registry is edited (though undoes the change every time the game is opened). My cursor used to flicker too, but that at least stopped since the addition of the WINE files.

Current issues: Hi-Res still says not supported, 3D acceleration can be ticked but will reboot and untick itself whenever I tick it, and my cursor vanishes whenever I go fullscreen.

It seems you need to do 2 things:


1> The hack Kakisgr mentioned, the two functions in my compat.cfg look like this:

function(int) GetAppDefaultRes
{
var bool isHiResHardware = call IsNVidiaOrATI();
log("isHiResHardware = " + isHiResHardware);

/* if (isHiResHardware && (compat_AppSysMemTotalMB >= 768) && (compat_AppOrigScreenHeight >= 1000) && (compat_AppVidMemory >= 92))
{
return 1200;
}
else
{
return 600;
} */
return 1200;
}


function(bool) IsHiResSupported
{
/* if (compat_AppVidMemory < 92)
return false; */

return true;
}

2> After you modified the compat.cfg you need to manually flip HiRes mode in the registry, like Pac-Fan mentioned. You need to flip the "HiRes" bit from 0 to 1 in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\PopCap\ZumasRevenge

When you run the game you will immediately see glorious high resolution textures. Also hires mode in the options is enabled.

Succesfully tested on a box with the latest and greatest hardware. Enjoy!

--------------------------------------
This worked great, thank you!

ok, i'm just deleted in compat.cfg lines:

if (compat_AppVidMemory < 92)
return false;

and it works perfectly for me.

Hey, guys! Here is the solution (it worked for me):

1. Download the latest version of WineD3D from here[adolfintel.com].

2. Unpack the following 3 files from the archive into the game's installation directory
- ddraw.dll
- libwine.dll
- wined3d.dll

3. Copy those 3 files (ddraw.dll, libwine.dll, wined3d.dll) to C:\ProgramData\PopCap Games\ZumasRevenge (this is the place where popcapgame1.exe is created when the game is running).

4. Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/PopCap/ZumasRevenge and change the HiRes from 0 to 1.

5. ENJOY!

08-09-2020 and this solution still works like a charm!!!
I tried first the regedit fix but didnt work. Next I downloaded WineD3D and now I can play in glorious high-res.
However, you must notice that current version of WineD3D didn't include the "libwine.dll" so I used d3d9.dll instead.
It just worked on the first try, so I cannot confirme if "libwine.dll" is required or not.

I don't have the game through Steam, but I was having the same issue as everyone else here. I tried the 2-step method outlined by mindcrash and while it did work, the game would glitch out of fullscreen every 30 seconds for some reason.

So I restored the original compat.cfg file and instead did the same as ignor, simply removing the following lines (lines 72 & 73) from the code:

if (compat_AppVidMemory < 92)
return false;

I think this is the most straightforward method because this way every time the game starts it should just default to hi-res being supported no matter what. You shouldn't even have to edit the registry either since the in-game setting will now work, although it will give you a silly warning that hi-res isn't recommended. But, unless you're running the game on a literal potato, it will be fine.

FYI, I'm on Windows 10 64-bit.

Thought I'd chip in here, thanks everyone for your posts in solving the problem, very helpful!

I'm in W10 x64, what worked for me was changing the two lines as outlined above but ALSO changing the registry value, just changing the code didn't work by itself.

2020, 2 monitors 1440p, 8gb VRAM, and this is not fixed yet.... thank you guys, forcing it in the compat.cfg and changing the reg value to 1 worked for me.

Popcap pretty much abandoned PC years ago, so I doubt they even noticed.

Worked for me, thank u

Okay, guys, nothing of that worked for me. Nothing.
Laptop, 1920x1080, 2 GB VRAM, 20 GB RAM DDR4
Can someone help me with that? I see that HiRes in game is 1920x1200, there's some way to launch it in 1920x1080?

Mindcrash's shortcuts did it for me, in this order. It is now usable full screen in 21:9. For the record, although it wasn't the main topic.
