With big thanks to Racer_S ... :D ... 8)

The tool is DirectX 9 only at the moment ...
Download the tool from here ... CLICK ME
Unzip the tool anywhere you like ... I'm using XP and mine is in the games main directory/folder ... C:Program FilesUbisoftAssassin's Creed ...
Run the tool ... leave it running ...
Set it as follows for TH 3840x1024 ... or your desired TH resolution ...
Choosing your version of the game ... mine is the UK shop bought version.



Just input the res you are using for lower TH resolutions ... the other settings should stay the same.
Start the game ...
Press the * key on the number pad to enable the tool ...
If for any reason the graphics get messed up going from menu to in-game or back ... just disable the tool with the / key on the number pad and re enable it with the * key ...


For those running 5040x1050 you need to set it like this ...

Aspect: 0.2056 (same for any 3 x 16:10 res)
Left - 0
Top - 0
Right - 5040
Bottom - 1050

That's it ... enjoy ... :D



The HUD is stretched but it can be seen a bit better than it was without without the tool (because it was annoyingly behind the gaps between the screens).
It can also be turned off in the games options if you so desire.
















Edit : Added the 5040x1050 info

w00t. Racer_S is the man, again, and thanks to Paddy for bringing this to us....8)
Now if only STEAM would let those of us in the 3rd world get the bl**dy game I would be happy! :x

Ben :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

You think this can be used for those people on 16:10 screens, to remove the top 'n' bottom bars...?

Don't own the game, so can't test.

Thanks Racer_S !!! But it doesn't appear to work with the nocd exe versions? ( tried both versions from our friends at Rel**ded )

Will try the DTools method with IDE Emulation, just have to download the other version (Clone). Will update with results.

I was debating to play this in Vista x64 SLI dx10, but now of course I have to play triplewide in XP dx9 once I can get it to work (SoftTH works better in XP for me).

I can share my little bat file with you all here:

Tricky's Game Launcher:

--- Copy below this line to a file "Game_Launcher.bat" -------

@ECHO OFF

:: Tricky's Game Launcher (c) 2008
::
:: Note: The game.exe, this bat file, and the fovhack.exe all need to be in the same folder

:: Edit the values below for FOVHACK and GAMEEXE to match your file names
::
:: 1) Launches FovHack program first, skips if it is already running
:: 2) Closes YahooWidgets as needed, else they move from 2nd and 3rd monitor to center monitor
:: 3) If a SoftTH user, and you have different cfg files for XP or Vista, will copy the file
:: into place (SofthTH_XP.cfg SoftTH_VISTA.cfg)
:: 4) Launches game!



:: Edit the exe file name as needed

SET FOVHACK=acFOV2.exe

:: Edit the game exe file name as needed

SET GAMEEXE=AssassinsCreed_Dx9.exe



SET SOFTTH=SoftTH.cfg

SET SOFTHXP=SoftTH_XP.cfg

SET SOFTVISTA=SoftTH_VISTA.cfg

SET YAHOO=YahooWidgets.exe



VER | FIND /I "Microsoft Windows [Version 6.0" > NUL

IF NOT ERRORLEVEL 1 GOTO VISTA


:XP

ECHO "%SOFTHXP%"
ECHO "%SOFTTH%"

IF EXIST "%SOFTHXP%" COPY /Y "%SOFTHXP%" "%SOFTTH%"

process -q "%YAHOO%"

process -p "%FOVHACK%" Normal

IF NOT ERRORLEVEL 2 GOTO LAUNCH

START /B %FOVHACK%

GOTO LAUNCH



:VISTA

IF EXIST "%SOFTHVISTA%" COPY /Y "%SOFTHVISTA%" "%SOFTTH%"

taskkill /F /IM "%YAHOO%"

tasklist /FI "imagename eq %FOVHACK%" | FIND /I "%FOVHACK%" > NUL

ECHO.
ECHO ERRORLEVEL = %ERRORLEVEL%
ECHO.

IF NOT ERRORLEVEL 1 GOTO LAUNCH

START /B %FOVHACK%


:LAUNCH

START /B /MAX %GAMEEXE%

EXIT

Very neat.

And Paddy, thanks for the headsup. :mrgreen:

can you check your game version by right clicking the exe and going to properties... then click version tab and click the 'File Version' item in the list.

this was tested with a no-dvd and it did work here.

I am using the Reloaded noCD from gamecopyworld... :wink:

Hmm...I tried both the one that came with the original REPACK release and the FIX that came (to get beyond Level 1)...

Will try some other settings...

When I press the * simply nothing happens. If I try switching versions to the non-matching version then press * I get a fatal exception which makes sense.
