I think that's the only available hack made for C3 resolutions, which requires a 1080p monitor. Unless someone has made hacks for all other alternative resolutions lately ?

ioryadragon: I posted here for all 4 resolutions, check the post at middle: http://pcgames-center.com/replay-2014-caesar-3-panzer-general-ii-and-baldurs-gate/

Download the file closest to your resolution:

Caesar 3 – 1920×1080
Caesar 3 – 1920×1200
Caesar 3 – 1680×1050
Caesar 3 – 1360×768

Copy the file in the root directory, main directory of Caesar 3. Run the game from that exe. In game go to Options > Display and choose the highest resolution available (most likely 1024 - ignore that is 1024). Thats it.

Have fun!

The domain is nonexistent any more. Can someone post the 1920x1080 again? Thanks in advance!

The domain is working perfectly right now. It might have been temporarily down when you tried.

Right now it's not working. Any help would be appreciated.

L.E. Found it:

Just to be sure, did you run the 1920x1080 caesar 3 exe and then when in the game select the 1024x768 resolution? I'm guessing your normal desktop resolution is 1920x1080 as well?
Posted January 22, 2018
yea, i tried it, and don't get me wrong, the .exe worked like a charm, but my status bar at the top is still gone. only res i can see it in is the lowest one which sucks, but at least i can play... >.< just trying to see if anyone else has had this problem and found a workaround for it. oh, and i forgot to add before, windows 7 64 bit.

and thanks for the quick response.

Perhaps then try some of the other exe's at lower resolutions and see if that makes a difference, eg. 1366x768, 1600x900
Posted January 26, 2018
well, i've tried them as well, they work like the other one does. The resolution is good, but i still am unable to see the top status bar no matter what res i pick except for the lowest one.

update: i feel like an idiot lol. just tried the highest res with compatability mode for windows xp sp3, and it worked. I can see the status bar, and the entire map. xD
if anyone else tries to use these and is missing the bar, this i believe is the answer.
thanks for the replies to try and help me get this working xD

I draw your attention
The widescreen patches (by JackFuste, 2012) has a bug that prevents Caesar3 + Zeus + Emperor (but not Pharaoh) from switching to Windowed mode.
(And it has nothing to do with Color Rendering not 16bit)

web.archive.org/web/20190910005136/www.wsgf.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=64&t=14149&start=160#p145033

@vempire_ghost, 23 Apr 2013
The problems runs on Zeus with Posseion on a 2.1 version.
Now after I apply the fix to my resolution (i have both pcs, one in 1980x1020 and another 1280x1024) I cannot put in window mode anymore, only if I set the 800x600 resolution, or revert back to the original .exe and use a 1024x728 standard resolution.
It depends on the value of only one byte.
When I noticed the difference in CRC32, XJDHDR explained the reason to me:

@XJDHDR
JackFuste found a problem where EXEs that he had patched were no longer able to be switched into Windowed mode (they were locked to Fullscreen). He then released a patching program that was attached to the forum post linked above which fixed this problem and made it possible to switch into Windowed mode again. I'm not sure why it works but the program replaces a "jump forward 0x6F bytes if EAX is less than ECX" into a "always jump forward 0x6F bytes" command. My widescreen pack, as you observed, come with this fix pre-applied whereas the other packs you found don't.
Outdated patches without patch "noWindowed" bug

XJDHDR Widescreen Pack 2018 with patched "noWindowed" bug
sourceforge.net/projects/xjdhdr-random-code/files/Game_related_files/City_Building_Strategy_Games_Series_files /

Now, if you're can't switch to Windowed Mode, then you know why.
Use a resizer from XJDHDR or apply a patch to the old ones.


After replacing .EXE with the patched one, you NEED to confirm in the Game that the new permission is applied and saved (in binary .INF)
We enter any mission, Menu =>Options =>Video =>"1024x768"
(it says "1024x768", but the real value will be what was replaced)
