Open joyzer opened 1 year ago

joyzer commented 1 year ago

Hello there!

Is there anyting one has to do in order to have it working? I am running their own client - not Steam - and I don't see any difference.

Cheers!

What is the game in question?

joyzer commented 1 year ago

Ah sorry! Path of Exile.

RoseTheFlower commented 1 year ago

According to this comment, it should work for the standalone launcher too. Did you set your resolution in the settings after dropping the fix files?

joyzer commented 1 year ago

I did but having black bars on either side.

Weird. For me, this works fine with the native client on windows. However, with the steam client on arch linux, regardless of the resolution, full screen or windowed, or renderer, I still have black bars on my 5120x1440 ultra wide.

I re-test after most updates at 48:9 and I tested again at 3840x1080 on Steam today. No issues on Windows with either Vulkan or DX11. For Linux, the general thing to do is ensure that the DLL name is set to native and builtin in Wine.

freddiehaddad commented 1 year ago

Two questions:

  1. Are you saying to rename the dll from version.dll to native.dll?
  2. What you do you mean "builtin in Wine"?

No, it's an override to set via Wine configuration.

Ah, thank you! That makes sense and is similar to this thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/ycunaj/cannot_get_the_ultrawide_fix_in_gotham_knights_to/

I know this is out of scope for this repository. But how do you get to that window when all the Wine stuff is managed by Steam?

I do not have a Linux repo installed at this time, so I wouldn't really know. It's been a while since I ran it as my main OS and a lot has changed. It's best to ask the people in that thread or sub.

Got it!

There is a section in the configuration options for the game: https://ibb.co/QJGLrqG

In there I added:

WINEDLLOVERRIDES="version.dll=n,b" %command%

It's working!
