This patch makes the game correct for widescreen resolutions Resolution is xpx - it is ideally usable for full HD resolution xpx. Last edited by martin. Showing 1 - 15 of 24 comments.

Originally posted by Kaldire :. Is working with me, thanks. Funny thing is that this game was running ok for me on win 7 x64 but after upgrade to win 10 nothing work, even this BEL patch.. The application loaded the EXE into memory, read out the resolutions stored, audited that they were all in sync and then allowed the user to select a new resolution per slot.

If the resolutions weren't the same then you would get a warning, but this would have been corrected on the next resolution hack. This worked fine, but I found it pointless to specify four separate resolutions when you only really needed to specify one. I was more in for the challenge of allowing all four to change, rather than the practicality.

So, it all worked I then closed the game, re-opened it and found that it loaded up at x instead of the x resolution I had set. I closed it again and looked at the configuration file; the setting had indeed changed back to '2' instead of '4' I then loaded the game again and it was back to x I had overlooked the storage of the resolution configuration. If the indexed resolution was read from the file, then it would have to be written back as an index.

I went back in to the disassembler and searched for anything relating to writing 'SIZE' into the configuration file. The logic in the game was then obvious: it carried out an "if less than X but greater than Y" across the 'stock' resolutions and then stored the relevant index. This complicated my approach and confirmed that I really should only bother adjusting the 'fourth' resolution in the list.

There was no point allowing the user to re-order the resolutions as this code then wouldn't work. The fourth resolution would need to be the only one customisable and the value must be greater than the third resolution at x So, with this in mind, I wound the application down to just editing one resolution that had to be higher than x This meant that the internal configuration saving would work and the user would just have to select the final resolution in the list.

Note that this only affected single player So, the game obviously wasn't meant to be played with a horizontal resolution greater than pixels; rendering artifacts started appearing when higher resolutions were used.

Fortunately, the game is quite dynamic when it comes to rendering the screen and menus. Trawling through the code I could see that it was trying to find a BMP that matched the resolution, even using the resolution as the file name.

Ferdinand had also worked this out and even has a list of assets downloadable for higher resolutions. DIR ' and references this when the game loads. I started looking into modifying this file via my program but realised it would be wuite a task to decipher and re-pack. Fortunately, some clever fellows across the world have created the necessary tools to extract these files. DIR file. This then meant that I could use my app to call DirExtractor, extract the files and then modify them where required to ease the majority of graphical glitches.

There was only one drawing issue remaining after this You can see this in the following screen shots. What this meant was that the user could stop the map from clipping by adjusting the zoom. I took this as a suitable workaround at the time. It seems that some laptop resolutions are a little out-of-whack.

I previously had a Samsung Ultranote with resolution of x, but windows reported that it could also run at a resolution of x It turns out that if you choose the wrong one although it may seem the right one if that's your current windows resolution that you'll get the following display:. It turns out that there are many more versions in the wild.

It also gets worse as there is another patch here that fixes up a whole lot of other issues in the game. Either way, I've tested it and my hack works on it perfectly. Due to the above, I started a list of EXEs for the game and then began deciphering them as I knew the basic items to change to allow my application to work with them.

My application was then built to determine the EXE via file size of course, this isn't fool-proof and then hack appropriately. So, this was just an update to the main game After about 6 hours debugging all was working! Download the application here. And you can also download the. NET source code here. Can you do something about it?

I try to find the version, but without success. I look in the windows registry and opening the game, in the main menu. The Steam version available in eg. Poland supposedly patched is not recognized by the fix. I really want Commandos in glorious p :. What if one would swap the exe files. Would this then work? The assets are compatible, yes, as long as you have the same version number of the EXE.

Hi, I have the ammo pack GOG version but the patch does not work. Not sure if it has anything to do with it. Will need more information? What is reported in the information window? Can you provide any information from system logs? DIR has already been extracted.

Locale patch [2] has already been applied. You may not be able to set the requested resolution in-game! To fix this: 1. Right click on comandos. Can you please make available the main executable file? Also paste the log of my application here when you pass it the exe? Hello, I tried CommandosResolutionHack. Apply changes. Sign out.
