This isn't working for me, when I change the exe to 1920x1080 exe, the game runs & looks great but the tools panel is all screwed up & unclickable. Any ideas?

Thanks Literacy much internet love for you my friend!

Nevermind my earlier comment.

Works like a charm.

Awesome job!

Anyone know if there's a fixed version to clear up image inconsistencies and the broken sidebar in Pharaoh yet ? WSGF.org doesn't have any indications that those bugs have been fixed, it would be useful if someone could provide a tool that can allow me to hex edit and what needs hex editing to fix the broken images.

I haven't had any problems w/ a broken sidebar so far. The image inconsistencies isn't too much of a game breaker for me since I used WSGF.org's 1920 x 1080 format for both GOG versions of Pharaoh/Cleopatra & Zeus/Poseidon. Working around overwriting inconsistencies with the .exe files, Pharaoh/Cleopatra looks real nice w/ my 1920 x 1080 widescreen.

Then you obviously haven't looked at the sidebar properly. It does not stretch the full length of the screen, there's just a big black empty nothing which glitches up all the time. >_>

I just get a black screen when i pick 1024x768 in game. Any suggestions?

Glad I checked this forum. I was playing recently and thought it would be great to use a better resolution patch. Will give it a try!

I've tried a couple of them and it certainly looks nice at 1920 native res, but none of the animations on any of the buildings/farms are working with any version of the widescreen patch, making it impossible to tell which of them are actually functioning.

Yes, I used the Cleopatra version and I extracted them with 7z. Any ideas?

Update: Actually strike that, the animations aren't working with the regular GOG exe. Strange I installed it and played it a bit and I remember everything looking perfectly normal, and it wasn't until I tried the widescreen patches that I noticed the missing building/farm animations. But now I'm seeing same thing with the GOG executable back in place.

I should have mentioned I've played this game eleventy zillion hours in the past along with Caesar 3. So yes, they're functioning, but the penants never show up on police/fire/architect stations and the guys in buildings that are animated to show they're working are either not there or frozen, although the buildings function normally. You just have a very hard time telling whether they are by looking at them.

Update: reinstalled and same deal. Going to take this to another thread since it's not about the widescreen patch anymore.

Wow - played this game on and off for 14 years and this is stunning.

Widescreen works great but I haven't played much so stability may still be an issue.

Hmmm, doesn't appear to work inside a wrapper (OSX). Tried the 1440x900 from cleopatra.7z but I just get a black screen when selecting 1024x768. Too bad :(. Thanks for the tip though, might try it on my Windows system later.

If you get a black screen, your graphics card drivers do not support the resolution you have selected. If it's a pre-built PC that you bought from a shop, rather than a custom build, most likely the manufacturer has modified the drivers on your GPU to remove certain resolutions from the system.
