I uploaded latest GTA3/VC/SA fixes on github. NFS fixes will be next, tomorrow.

[Igor Bogdanoff]

What you changed/fixed in SA version?

[ThirteenAG]

Trip skip icon and text box offset in cutscenes. Default scaling values too.

[bestia]

ThirteenAG , Maybe You add a RadarHeightScale function ? It's really needed ... And yes , aspect ratio does'nt work in custom mode , for example 1920x1080 @ 4:3 ... , like a PS2 style .

I know. Don't want to mess with them atm.

[Ellie-H]

this happens using the widescreen fix on gta 1 , pressing F11 doesnt work , it seems that the resolution is set to default and cannot change

[ThirteenAG]

Menu is supposed to be that way. Wasn't able to do any other way.

oh , so thats the menu only , alright , i wasnt aware if keep playing or just instantly report the problem , so i goed to the most secure one.

 

sadly the games crashes as soon its loads game, might be incompatibility with new OS , maybe using msconfig to set only 1 processor could work?

so i unistalled the script , and the game played normally (except for some colouring issue that is fixed changing resolution , but after fixed the screen will tilt as hell) and after 7 seconds the game crashes, seems there is no way to play gta 1 in new OS , i didnt wanted to get nostalgic anyway T.T

Hey ThirteenAG, I gotta say I love what you did with Splinter Cell, especially with the texture packs. I'm curious, though, what did you do to fix the shadows for Pandora Tomorrow? The widescreen fix is great but I don't like how the binoculars and loading screens don't cover the full screen and you can see parts of the game on the sides, so I've decided to just deal with the HUD stretches rather than that. However, the shadow fix is really awesome, especially since the wrapper I used normally to fix the shadows doesn't add all the shadows back. So my question again is what did you do to fix the shadows? You mentioned you edited one DLL file. Thanks.

[ThirteenAG]

Is it just me or NFS Carbon crashes after profile loading on max settings? What I did: created a new profile, set all video settings to max, quit, run the game again, loaded profile and as soon as I press 'Continue' after that loading, game crashes at 6AABC0.

You can see here. But it seems those are a wrong kind of shadows, the 'cool' ones wrapper restores I think. Edited February 24, 2016 by ThirteenAG

Yep, I had this bug when I replayed NFS Carbon these holidays, either a crash or a reset in the graphical settings at each start, but I haven't reported it since I didn't had a GTA Forums account (reading as a guest only for 2 years).

This has nothing to do with widescreen fix though. The game is broken. Sometimes it doesn't crash I noticed. No idea what's going on.

Made a windowed mode option btw, since wndmode.ini method will crash the game:

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, I'm a complete coding noob and have no idea how to actually implement the change from the code. I want this because I still use the wrapper to have all the cool shadows and then use the shadow buffer fix to add the other shadows back. I recall this setting was actually part of the original Splinter Cell as well, but activating that one just required tweaking the ini file, so this one is difficult for me to grasp.

I had this exact problem with Carbon when I was on Windows 10.

How to fix wndmode method ?... Und 2 have a radar bug with it , Carbon - crash , MW - bloom bug at tunnel . Many other games - crashed .

 

Ps : if You needs windowed , noborder mode -- use dll for nfs undercover , old mod , 2009 ... , but works is correctly ( d3d9.dll & ini to main folder and go )

Yep , compatible with many other games .

 

TAG , maybe You see this dll , and mix with Yours dinput , please .

Yes. I can confirm that there is something wrong with the game, at least on Windows 10. It crashes at random when you start it but if you get it running you can play it for hours with no problems whatsoever.

 

Speaking of NFS games, I don't know if you've ever played ProStreet but this game has a very terrible bug that is almost game breaking. Seeing as you are a programmer you might be able to look into it and find a solution. I will make several donations if you can find a fix of some sort (same goes for running Scarface properly on PC) since all of the "fixes" that people post on the Internet don't work. This bug happens at random and it prevents you from continuing after winning a race with multiple rounds (i.e. drag or drift) by making the "Continue" button nonfunctional.

btw, need for speed most wanted for free on origin https://www.origin.com/en-br/store/free-games/on-the-house

Is it free for a limited time or for good? It's confusing to me. I'll get it since I own a 360 copy that I won't use anymore.

 

Edit: lol it was right there. It's a permanent license which is weird considering music rights and stuff. Still, it's nice.

Reuploaded all fixes to github. Added an option to fix that crash in carbon, but not sure how exactly it affects the game.

Really good update for the NFS games. I might trying going back to Windows 10 if you did fix that annoying crash in Carbon.

 

 

 

I'd like to point out that the rearview mirror in Most Wanted was fixed in this update. Obviously the FOV was improved, but objects in the mirror were appearing on the opposite side because the developers forgot to flip the image.

 

Notice how the track barrier now appears on the same side.

Oh, yeah! That's very nice that we have a proper RVM now.

Carbon still crashes with Win10

Also found a bug with windowed (bordered) mode. It makes texts to render cropped from bottom and top. And please windowed mode for other games, too. wndmode.ini is buggy for NFSU (You can't get your mouse out without alt+tab) and U2 (Masks doesn't work. (NOS always looks full, minimap is squared.)

 

Aaand a question to you, bro: How did you get MW HUD safezoned like this? Did you use Whole HUD width and height floats or something else?

Can you upload a crashdump? Still crashes after pressing continue button?

Windowed mode I added only for debug purposes, so that's gonna be it for now.

What do you mean? I didn't do anything with hud, only activated widescreen mode developers left in the files.
