5120X1440 zoom out ?

[redmoca]

5120x1440 If you zoom out, you cannot zoom out. However, it is possible at other resolutions. I met this in Shadow Tactics, but is it the same in Desperado 3?

I am also wondering about this... Will the game support wider resolutions//multimonitors properly?

Try the demo maybe?

(avalilable on GOG only right now)

Hi, do you know if there will be a demo available on steam as well perhaps?

Not before release, unfortunately. It was supposed to come to steam on the 9th of June with Steams Summer Game Festival, however, it's been postponed until 16th, and so was the demo.

So if you want to try Desp3 before release head over to GOG.

Alright, thanks for the information!

I tried the demo, but it's the same as ShadowTactics..........

Your issue is also that the game cuts off more than half of your screen estate as they implemented Vert- instead of Hor+, robbing you of roughly 50 percent of screen view to mak it fit ;)

Just hexedit/ regedit that ♥♥♥♥, but it is a unity game and that this one does not support anything wider than 16:9 is just a lazy oversight, as changing it from Vert- to Hor+ is literally a thing of a few minutes.

Hey, I was checking out the GOG demo and I noticed that while this does support ultrawide in the graphics menu, the actual gameplay uses a bad field of view that cuts off the top and bottom of the screen.

Here's the game zoomed out all the way at 2560x1440 (16:9):

Here's the same scene zoomed out at 3440x1440 (21:9):

You can plainly see that while the image looks wider, you don't get any extra scenery on the sides and the top and bottom are cut off. So by playing in a higher and wider resolution, you're actually seeing less than you would by playing in 16:9.

Thankfully there's a relatively simple fix! Turns out that Shadow Tactics (the dev's previous game) functions the same way in regards to ultrawide, and the same fix for that also works for Desperados 3. Halfway down the Widescreen Gaming Forum page for Shadow Tactics there are instructions for hex editing a certain file to enable the proper FoV.

For those of you who haven't used a hex editor before, I'll walk you through it.

1. Download a hex editor (I use HxD in this tutorial)
2. Open the "Assembly-CSharp.dll" file in your hex editor. The file is located in "Desperados 3 Demo\Desperados III_Data\Managed".
3. Hit Ctrl+R to open the Replace window and click on the Hex-values tab.
4. Copy and paste 39 8E E3 3F into the "Search for:" box and do the same with 60 E5 18 40 in the "Replace with:" box.
5. Change "Search direction" to All and click Replace all.
6. Close the Replace window and hit Ctrl+S to save the file (HxD automatically backs up the original file so you don't have to worry about that).
7. Enjoy Desperados 3 with a proper FoV!

Finally, here's the game running at the correct FoV in 21:9 after the fix has been applied (the FPS difference between this and the earlier screenshots is due to me enabling 200% resolution scale):

Thank you. I'll do it like this :)
