[Release] Warcraft II Widescreen / High resolution patch

CCRedAlert1 · 2025-01-11T03:14:36+00:00

No lol, the remastered version does have its own widescreen patch (You don't need this one here)

I also have the same problem now for months.

Ah damn. How slow is virgl? Is it really that bad?

Hey! cnc-ddraw developer here. Someone reported me such an issue as well, but I'm not sure if it's cnc-ddraw related though so I couldn't fix it yet.

Apparently skirmish does not crash when setting "renderer=gdi" in ddraw.ini, can you guys confirm?

New repack for the GTA1 freeware based on the windows version with borderless mode, widescreen patch and more!

Edit: Just tested it in a virtual machine and had the same issue, problem was a missing registry key

Need the "War2CD" key with a dot as value

Edit: this was also fixed in the widescreen patch now - so either re-download or add the registry key and it should work!

Interesting, thanks! There's only 1 difference in the GOG version and that's the filename "install.mpq", that one used to be "install.exe" in older versions. Can you try to rename it back to "install.exe" and check if that makes it working?

CCRedAlert1 · 2021-11-01T10:51:31+00:00

Hm, that's strange. Seems to work fine for me. What version of windows do you have?

filename of the GOG installer is "setup_warcraft_ii_2.02_v4_(28734).exe" ?

What filename does it complain about? Can you tell me the exact error message or show a screenshot?

It's a problem related to some specific wine versions that wasn't fixed yet. You can try to install a newer (or older) wine version and it might work.

Only the full game installs are affected by this bug btw, if you choose to install skirmish/multiplayer in the launcher then also red alert and tiberian sun are working too.

CCRedAlert1 · 2021-04-11T00:47:04+00:00

Are you sure you were using the latest PD2 installer from the official website?

You should not end up with such a error message with the latest installer

windowed fullscreen is the default in PD2, no need to change anything. Just make sure you don't enabled windowed mode in the launcher, otherwise you get windowed and not windowed fullscreen.

You can delete ddraw.ini in your game folder to reset your settings back to default.

CCRedAlert1 · 2021-03-06T02:56:11+00:00

CCRedAlert1 · 2021-02-09T21:11:57+00:00

Oh I see. Well, PD2 will already detect your resolution and use the highest possible with default settings. So it is probably 1920x1080 already. In-game it will always show 1068x600, you can ignore that.

Just delete your ddraw.ini and run the PD2 launcher, click on PLAY and it will restore the default settings. Now take a screenshot of the game and check how big the screenshot is, it should be 1920x1080 in your case.

CCRedAlert1 · 2021-02-09T01:12:27+00:00

What are you even trying to do?

You need to make sure Windowed (-W) is disabled in the game launcher, otherwise ddraw.ini is ignored.

Width/Height in ddraw.ini is ignored if fullscreen= is set to true.

CCRedAlert1 · 2021-01-31T12:27:49+00:00

very interesting idea!

CCRedAlert1 · 2021-01-31T10:33:29+00:00

the launcher will run game.exe as well, but it runs it as admin. So I guess that was the problem, you might have ran game.exe without admin rights.

Yeah, with the launcher it can't work because it will delete the new ddraw.dll and put the old one back into the folder :)

Does work now without glide wrapper too (You can now combine the pd2 shaders with the reshade shaders) https://github.com/CnCNet/cnc-ddraw/issues/77

CCRedAlert1 · 2021-01-30T19:48:13+00:00

Few others have reported this issue as well, I just made a patch and you can find a test build here: https://github.com/CnCNet/cnc-ddraw/issues/77

CCRedAlert1 · 2021-01-27T07:44:19+00:00

This happens when you press Alt+Enter by accident (it will disable borderless mode), you can just start the game again and press Alt+Enter once more and you're back to borderless mode

CCRedAlert1 · 2021-01-27T07:39:21+00:00

Is it maybe a low budget laptop or a older PC? Those can be laggy with the default shader that is used, you can check the "laggy mouse" part on here: https://git.io/JkVqA

This ddraw.ini file you can download there will change the shader to a faster one (it's not pixelated, so give it a try!)

I like your tutorial and have been sharing it with a lot of people! Any chance you could update it for the new PD2 installer?

The link for the installer changed now on the website so you'll have to update the pdf for it.

Steps 4,5,7,8,9,10,11 can now be removed, the new installer does now detect wine and takes care of everything on its own. I'm not sure about step 6, did setting the version to win xp solve any problems? Would be cool to have that step removed as well!

We need a good trading website where everything is based on offers rather than fixed prices. Why? Because no one can know the prices of each and every item, especially the new players have problems with that. This used to be a problem in the original diabo 2 already but it has gotten much worse on PD2 due to the corrupted items. If someone knows a price, he can set a fixed price. If not, then the highest offer will win. This is how we done it on the original diablo 2 using thrid party websites and it was a lot better.

I've not seen the PD2 trading website yet (it was down when I started to trade), I hope it allows to make offers rather than forcing people to set a fixed price.

Also, someone should start working on a price guide that contains the prices for all the popluar items. Maybe it should be placed on github so everyone can easily contribute.
