Hi all!

I too wanted to take advantage of my widescreen monitor and play at full resolution. So I followed this tutorial: http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1963433 (which works btw), but I encountered a few problems:
-> text is much smaller
-> healthbars are missing on gui (!!) http://shrani.si/f/2o/UA/2Acp8aF5/untitled.png

The second problem is most pestering, I can live with the first. It happens on all resolutions I tried above 1280x1024. 1280x800 works.

So, has anybody any idea why this is happening or how would I get the health bars back? I found out that without health bars my heroes quickly die without me noticing. That big blue bar that has taken all the place is mana bar btw.

Thanks for any help!

Indeed. The file size difference indicates more than a quick hex edit. I would be very interested to hear about your process, even if just a basic overview.

- Resolution 1280x1024 changed to 1680x1050.
- GUI and fonts is now displayed properly.


Hi,
Could you do it for 1920x1080 resolution with my spellforce.exe?

Using the -window switch in the Steam launch options, it's possible to run the game windowed at 1920x1200 or 2560x1600, but everything is stretched and the green health bars are missing from the units and buildings. Without the -window switch, the game runs at a max 1600x1200, even if you manually change the resolution in the config.lua file.

I tested the modified exe with SpellForce Platinum on my Steam account and it asks for the CD.
