jepeman: I have the latest resolution patch (HD-V3) installed and it seems to work fine except I have black bars at top and bottom.

I have a 16:9 monitor (native resolution 1920x1080) so I chose the 1280x720 option. In the launcher settings the "Framed" option keeps getting ticked on even when I disable it. The "Cinemascope" option is enabled, if I disable it the game cuts the image from bottom (can't seebelow Cutter's waist).

Any tips on getting rid of the black bars? Also is it possible to have a higher resolution like 1920x1080?

Edit: Well, choosing a 4:3 resolution seems to "fix" the black bars problem. I did notice another curious side effect of increasing the resolution: your map gets smaller/more zoomed in (as in you see less of your surroundings) the higher resolution you choose.

ankmyrandor: what are you other preferences ? because i don't have the black bars with the cinemascope on 1280x720, but with cinemascope it will crash, and i thought that was fixed. back to without cinemascope it works fine, but half of cutter slade is out of the screen. which is disappointing especially when you are riding a twon-ha :(

Just rechecked my options, havent actually gotten around to playing the game yet aside from the tutorial long ago thanks to Gothic 1.

Resolution - 640x480 (ie 4:3, low resolution so the map works properly and there isnt a huge difference graphically)
Framed - ON (it always rechecks itself automatically for some reason)
Cinemascoped - OFF

So, I was re-installing Outcast after yonks and applied the language selector and HD V3 patch from zenger.
Both work like a charm and without any problems. But there was another file/fix/patch but I don't know what it was for. It's called deadfix and includes the files "presentationHI3.pak" & "presentationHI4.pak".

If you want to take a look, here is the file.

I can't remember why I downloaded it and what it actually does.
Does anyone know what the deadfix.rar was for?

hopefully this is the dead-animation bugfix for the cinematoscope resolutions / 1280 x 720 for example.
does anyone here know how to open these then ?! :P because sadly i have no clue how to use these.

edit:

okay LyR you are a hero, these were the files that everyone was looking for, including me. this fixes the death crash for cinemascope resolutions :)

just extract these files in your outcast folder and overwrite the old files, i can confirm that it works with the 1280 x 720 resolution with cinemascope on :D

I also put up this file on my own domain so it won't get lost again
