Messiah

Messiah is a third-person action game set in urban environments with sci-fi elements. The player controls Bob, who can fly (though at low altitude), but not do much else; he is very vulnerable and can be easily killed. Thus, the player must make use of Bob's other ability: possession. Bob is able to take over any creature, from humans to animals. Once he possesses his target, he has complete control over its movements.

Solutions & Issues

Baseline (Widescreen) Solution & Issues

The Game offers only 4:3 resolutions - you need to use a modified EXE and a dgVoodoo 2 Wrapper to get it HOR+.

I Hex edit a modified Win7 EXE which works also for Win10x64 - use the Attachment Messiah - Widescreen.7z
and select your Aspect Ratio. Also extract the dgVoodoo 2 Wrapper dgVoodoo2_53.zip and copy the content from MS Folder to your Game DIR.
You have to start the Game from the MessiahD3D.exe and select you resolution.

For the safe side i have all Files in the Attachment - just copy it into your Messiah Game folder and overwrite everything.
