First of all, the game looks great in 4:3 aspect ratio : )
But if you really want widescreen, there is a patch available at wsgf. It seems like it moves camera back, so everything will be a bit smaller.

Nice find!
As for the camera being moved back, there's in-game zooming available. Try scrolling your middle mouse button to see if it helps.

The file is down :(
Could someone uplaod it for me please !!

Hejsan!

Ignore the warnings. Tested clean against Eset Endpoint

Thank you so much ! :)

The warning is there for a reason --Edge browser warned me several times. Those files could actually contain malware.

Tools like this can help:

Malware these days on Android, Windows, Apple devices, etc, is more complex than you might think. But anyways, there is an alternative to download those files in a secure place:

Not anymore, it aint :p

All downloadlinks seem to be down (again) :/

To me they are there, downloaded them just now and it works too. You should try to get it from the Attachment section (just above the screenshots, easy to miss), not by using the Mega link from which it was removed.

My experiences so far after completing just the tutorial level are mixed. It couldn't be any easier to setup (just copy the game.exe into your Desperados\Game folder and start it), it looks way nicer this way and plays great as ever. The objects are not too small and the bigger map vision is always helpful. The cinematics are properly alligned to the middle of the screen and the user interface is matched with the aspect ratio.
However the camera in some cutscenes at least seems to be bugged: on the second level it didn't follow Clayton, in fact it stayed focused on the house the entire time and couldn't be moved until the cutscene was over (or skipped). Does anybody else also have this? (I'm using the 1600x900 resolution if that matters.) Another -- albeit minor -- issue is that the main menu isn't alligned to the middle and the loading screen is blank. That's all. :)

(Anyway, either of them isn't really a deal-breaker for me as I've finished this game upwards of 10 times already and can do without the introductions to the levels if I must.)

A good advice: after replacing the game.exe (take a backup beforehand, just in case), don't go into the graphics settings as it can mess up the resolution.

A great find after all, thank you very much, OP! :)


Update: currently I'm at level 6 and haven't encountered any problem with the cutscenes since last time. Moresoever I tried to lower the resolution to avoid the black borders on the smaller levels (1280x720 works like a charm, Doc McCoy's Cabin, which is the smallest level, fills the whole width and a little more than the full height) and that fixed multiple things: now I have loading screens like normally, the HUD looks even better (no duplicate Desperados text on the bottom bar) and out of sheer curiosity I loaded level 2 again and the cutscene now played without a hitch! (Previously it got stuck 2 out of 2 times.) It all came with the cost of seeing a little less (but still more than in the usual 4:3 ratio) and not using my laptop's native resolution, but heck, I can live with that. :)

If only there was such an easy fix for the occasional freezing / looping sound issue...

I checked and actual working link is here
It comes with different executables for different resolutions and works good for now :)
