Hi, i recently tried this thing for HoMM 4 and everything runs perfectly BUT i can't now make it full screen(i have black side bars) while i was playing in full screen prior to adding this fix, i play on laptop 1366x768
How can i make it full screen again?
Tried adding -xres=1366 -yres=768 with no luck
And looks like when i run game in full screen (without fix) its NOT in 1366x768 because when i alt tab i see that resolution got lower, looks like it just scratches the game
P.S.
Attached photos (sorry couldn't make screenshots)
P.S.S.
Game runs PERFECTLY if i change resolution (via windows settings) to 1024x768
Is it possible to run in in 1024x768 resolution without changing resolution every time?

Game itself supports only 800x600, 1024x768 and 1280x1024. Patch doesn't provide any extra resolution modes, it just redirects old DirectDraw calls into OpenGL. If you need to remove black lines at the side of the screen/window - find and uncheck "Keep Aspect Ratio" option in window menu

Can you please specify where can I do this?

Exit from fullscreen mode into windowed by pressing F4 (or via game options). At the top of the window fine menu entry Image -> Keep Aspect Ratio

DarkAtom77: For example, when you enter a battle, the bottom edge (between the battlefield and the command bar) is not rendered at all and there is quite a thick line containing the old pixels (the ones before the battle started). It can also be visible on the right side, but to a much less extent.
version 1.35 fixed this issue.

Do you know where to download older version of wrapper like v1.35 ?

For Heroes II the latest (v1.36) fixes battle bottom edge bug, but causes mouse trail at menus.

I don't think you can. Try to contact developer. or I can try to upload it later. I have several backups including v3.5.

Please do, I would be very grateful if you did. I play Heroes II every day & it would be great if that bug was gone. I use v1.33 and it works great, except the above mentioned bug.

I tried to reproduce this bug in version 1.3.6. It seems, that mouse pointer leaves trails only when using yellow mouse pointer. I use b&w so i wasn't aware of this. This is also true for v 1.3.5. :/

Here you can have all the GL wrapper versions that I have saved for whatever reason. :)
edit:
I'll be updating this folder.

Thanks for your help. Sadly the 1.35 also has mouse problem for me. I will continue using the 1.33 version.
Strangely Heroes III latest version also have video problem. I wonder is this something only I have. Anyhow I have no idea what is causing it.
