Uru in widescreen

[Jamey]

(I'm a little confused

Then in your desktop shortcut type in "-iinit To_Dni" without the quotes.

ex.
"C:\Program Files\Ubi Soft\Cyan Worlds\Myst Uru Complete Chronicles\Uru.exe" -iinit To_Dni

What this does is bypasses URUsetup since it will try to override the changes you just made to the custom resolution.
(and since URUsetup was bypassed, you will want to make sure you already have a character in progress!)

So do I just rename the shortcut to "-iinit To_Dni" or do I have to rename the UruExplorer application in the Program files? I'll a little confused when you said just "type in", do I re-name an application?

[Jamey]

ok, nevermind got past that part, but now whenever I try to start it up, I'm getting an error basically saying trouble initializing graphics card, try lowering graphics settings, has anyone else got this error before?

EDIT: now I'm getting an error whenever I open up the Dev file in Plasmashop saying unexpected parameter values, and it won't display my video driver, even when I replaced it with a backup of the file I made. :(

Anyone have any suggestions? I really need the help right now

Are you running URU:CC?
Did you type in an unsupported (by your monitor) resolution?

The only other setting is devce type, which I have set to Direct3D TnL.


Sorry on the last post: right click on your shortcut go to properties and on the shortcut tab set your target to:
"C:\Program Files\Ubi Soft\Cyan Worlds\Myst Uru Complete Chronicles\Uru.exe" -iinit To_Dni

I installed Uru ABM, and then installed TPOTS which came with "To D'ni" expansion pack. So not Uru CC persay, but I do have all the content CC has.

I don't think 1280x960 is unsupported by my computer since it worked when I ran MOUL like that.

I set it to Direct3D TnL too, but it gave me an error which said lower your graphic settings, so I had to toy around with the dev file, and I toyed with the Device Mode Flags, then after that I get the error saying some game files are missing or corrupted (which I know I'm not missing any). And now whenever I try to open up the Dev file, I get an error saying "unexpected parameter values" and it does not show the content of my video driver in the file, even when the file is a backup.

[Renyaloth]

It was probably in the device mode flags that you changed. I would try changing them back to what they were.

[Jamey]

hmmm, no luck, everytime I make the changes, save, exit Plasmashop, and open it up again, I get the same error, and the changes cancel, like they never even happened I really hope I didn't screw this up big time.

There's not much to screw up. You can't break your computer. The worst that could happen is having to completely reinstalling Uru after deleting all its files.

The simplest fix is to delete dev_mode.dat and run UruSetup.exe. Select your graphics parameters and start the game. It will create a new dev_mode.dat file.

[Jamey]

Ok, I did that just now, and I'm still getting the unexpected parameter values error when I try to open up the file. O.o I have completely no idea how to fix it now, anyone else have any?

[Chacal]

Yes, but does Uru run after you select "play" in Urusetup?

There is a universal widescreen patcher for Uru. It does automatically what you are trying to do manually.
