-----
For those that don't want to apply "some patch", here is a way to do the same changes manually (you will still need the tweaked Patrician3 configuration files from the archive).
The xdelta patch is based on the instructions for original patrician 2 german version mentioned in the start of this topic (Works for GOG version also)
First we need to change the following sequences related to the screen resolution:
c7 44 24 4c 00 04 00 00 C7 44 24 50 00 03 00 00
c7 44 24 18 00 04 00 00 c7 44 24 1c 00 03 00 00
c7 44 24 3C 00 04 00 00 c7 44 24 40 00 03 00 00
c7 44 24 48 00 04 00 00 c7 44 24 4C 00 03 00 00
c7 44 24 24 00 04 00 00 c7 44 24 28 00 03 00 00
The 00 04 is screen width and 00 03 is screen height.
Both width and height should be replaced in sequences presented above.
For example the first sequence after using width 1920(hex - 80 07) and height 1080 (hex - 38 04):
Before: c7 44 24 4c 00 04 00 00 C7 44 24 50 00 03 00 00
After: c7 44 24 4c 80 07 00 00 C7 44 24 50 38 04 00 00
Also, there is a need to change the following sequences also (00 05 should be changed to e.g. 80 07 in case of 1920 width) :
0F 84 AF 00 00 00 3D 00 05 00 00
3D 00 04 00 00 74 1E 3D 00 05 00 00
i tried to apply the Patch to the freshly made installation of my GOG Patrician 3, but i get the following error when i run the patch as described above
i just downloaded the newest installer from GOG for Patrician, it looks like they made a update since your patch :/
