Tested with 1.24e and it's work, now i can play dota true ultrawide on garena. Thank you very much.

A small problem is the hearth bar, it's longer than normal or on RE.

A Void · May 10, 2017

So it's just a mix tape file? Wow, Warcraft 3 finally has it's own Widescreen resolution patch. Awesome!

Is it necessary to add support for other patches?

If it's just a simple line change it would be better to support most patches, It could work for anyone on any version. ;P

PS: You should upload this patch to Tools section, it will get more attention that way.

Strikest · May 10, 2017

It doesn't appear to work with 1.28.2?

Mechanical Man · May 10, 2017

and how do you set the ratio?

Tested, it doesn't work on 1.27

HB. · May 12, 2017

It doesn't work in 1.28.2.

A Void · May 12, 2017

Could you make it so that interface elements are not stretched by resolution?

Like this.

Not yet. Can you upload your Game.dll from 1.28.2 and, if you can, from 1.28.1 patch?

Sorry, it's my mistake. Fixed.

It's still in development, but there are one problem: for each aspect ratio, it's necessary to use special interface textures. For example, this is the interface from the Armies of Azeroth project (only for 16:9 aspect ratio):

But I will try to do something similar to your example.

You don't need to create a new interface, just make the default interface maintain it's aspect ratio, I'm fine with normal non-stretched interface with black bars.

btw, I noticed that the game is still being stretched slightly. Look at the screenshots and switch them and you'll notice..

ENAleksey · May 13, 2017

Yes, I agree, but I have not yet found a way to implement it.

A Void said:

Yes, it's due to the fact that the accuracy is lost in this place:

Code:

fWideScreenMul = ((float)wndWidth / (float)wndHeight) / (4.0f / 3.0f);

And this can not be fixed.

Blizzard has changed the way that float data is transferred to the interface editing function since version 1.27a. So it became more difficult to replace the values for their own. But if I can do this, I will definitely add fix of health bars.

Fixed as now working on 1.27 or saying that it 1.27 isn't supported version?

Now working

.
I just made a typo in code.

Mechanical Man · May 13, 2017

And where is fixed version? The starting post was still last edited on Tuesday.

ENAleksey · May 13, 2017

No, it is edited post with fixed version. I do not know why the date has not changed.

Mechanical Man · May 13, 2017

It seems to work. Thanks)))

Hope you fix that soon, the health bar very long when i zoom out camera distance @@

and on Render Edge:

ENAleksey · Jun 13, 2017

Can somebody upload Game.dll from 1.28.1 and 1.28.2 patch, so I can add support of them?

GhostWolf · Jun 13, 2017

1.28.2

ENAleksey · Jun 13, 2017

GhostWolf, thanks a lot!

The address for 1.28.2 is available below.

ENAleksey · Jun 14, 2017

TriggerHappy, thank you too. BTW, it would be better to hook WideScreenFix function this way:

C:

void __fastcall CreateProjMatrix_proxy(uint32_t pMatrix, uint32_t unused, float fovY, float aspectRatio, float nearZ, float farZ)
{
    float fWideScreenMul = 1.0f;

    RECT r;
    if (GetWindowRect(g_hWnd, &r))
    {
        float width = r.right - r.left;
        float height = r.bottom - r.top;
        fWideScreenMul = (width * 3.0f) / (height * 4.0f);
    }
 
    float yScale = nearZ / (tan(1.0 / sqrt(aspectRatio * aspectRatio + 1.0) * fovY * 0.5) * nearZ);
    float xScale = yScale / (aspectRatio * fWideScreenMul);

    *(float*)pMatrix = xScale;
    *(float*)(pMatrix + 16) = 0.0;
    *(float*)(pMatrix + 32) = 0.0;
    *(float*)(pMatrix + 48) = 0.0;
    *(float*)(pMatrix + 4) = 0.0;
    *(float*)(pMatrix + 20) = yScale;
    *(float*)(pMatrix + 36) = 0.0;
    *(float*)(pMatrix + 52) = 0.0;
    *(float*)(pMatrix + 8) = 0.0;
    *(float*)(pMatrix + 24) = 0.0;
    *(float*)(pMatrix + 40) = (nearZ + farZ) / (farZ - nearZ);
    *(float*)(pMatrix + 56) = nearZ * (farZ * -2.0) / (farZ - nearZ);
    *(float*)(pMatrix + 12) = 0.0;
    *(float*)(pMatrix + 28) = 0.0;
    *(float*)(pMatrix + 44) = 1.0;
    *(float*)(pMatrix + 60) = 0.0;
}

ENAleksey · Jun 14, 2017

Update:

Added support of 1.28c patch.

Can somebody check if the fix works in Windows XP?

ENAleksey · Jun 15, 2017

Update:

HP Bars no longer stretch on 1.24e and 1.26a patches.

ENAleksey · Jun 23, 2017

Can somebody upload Game.dll from 1.28.4 patch?

Strikest · Jun 23, 2017

Here you go.

ENAleksey · Jun 23, 2017

Strikest, thank you.

Update:

Added support of 1.28.4 patch.

ZUKMAN · Jul 8, 2017

Just in case 1.28.5 needed.

ENAleksey · Jul 8, 2017

ZUKMAN, thank you!

Update:

Added support of 1.28.5 patch.

TheLastKnight · Jul 10, 2017

No more strecth image. I've finally found what I've been looking for

TheLastKnight · Jul 10, 2017

Can you add support 1.23a path? I play DDay judgement 19.9b sometimes and this map only support under 1.23a path.

ENAleksey · Jul 11, 2017

TheLastKnight said:

Done!

Update:

Added support of 1.23a patch;
Changed HP Bars fix, now it works in every patch.

TheLastKnight · Jul 11, 2017

Thanks man! Enter the game and the HP Bar still strecth until i move screen. Does it normal?

Yes, it is normal. Fix turns on only after the second appearance of the health bars.

Who tested on the latest patch? Does the HP bars fix work?

I use the old mix file (before add 1.23a) and i do not see that problem, the HP bars always fixed.

It's because I changed the hook installation method in the latest version, so HP bars fix should work on all patches.

TheLastKnight · Jul 20, 2017

Can you add the FPS unlock feature? It's a huge change about graphic too. Just to make Widescreen Fix more complete

Eat_Bacon_Daily · Jul 28, 2017

What you have done here is truely amazing. Not only does it work, but it is really simple to implement. I love it!

I remember seeing a few months back brad from Blizzard lurking in this thread and now I can see why.

Good job man!

Kostyarik · Aug 13, 2017

1.28.6 PTR. in case you want to look at =))

ENAleksey · Aug 15, 2017

Kostyarik, thank you. But is it really necessary to add support for the PTR version or is it better to wait for the final version of the 1.28.6 patch?

My pleasure) Well, if the entry point is the same as in 1.28.5 i think you can just throw "supports 1.28.6" in the description and that's it =)

Folks, sorry for being so slow, but is it possible to use widescreen fix with battlenet or it detects it as a virus?

Any third party modification of any of Warcraft III's game files will result in your CD Keys being banned, eventually. Blizzard does not care if it is a virus, they only care that you are tampering with the game which violates the BattleNet terms of use.

I've bern using this on bnet with no issues for a couple months

Could you please scale back the UI to 4:3 (or 16:9) while playing 21:9 using your memory hack ?

I need that too :v

A Void · Feb 18, 2018

Could you please add support for 1.00 version of RoC? It's the very first Warcraft 3 version that came in retail.
