    Mod Release Widescreen Loading Screens

    Hey people :) As you might have seen, I've made widescreen loading screens for "Caribbean Tales", because I run the game windowed (borderless) in 1920x1080. That way, the original loading screens get stretched, which looks pretty awful. You can get those new loading screens for "Caribbean...

    Thank you! :) :)

    Solved Widescreen loading screens (previously: Graphic glitches on water when using dgVoodoo)

    Okay, I've edited all the game's loading screens for widescreen usage. They look like this now: Here's the archive: download from MEGA.nz / download from Mediafire.com Just unzip all of them to RESOURCE\Textures\Loading Additionally, copy the Start_Loading.tga.tx to...

    Solved Widescreen loading screens (previously: Graphic glitches on water when using dgVoodoo)

    For small artworks that still look good when roughly denoised, I use this one online.

    Yeah, that's why I'm using an AI upscaler, fiddling around with the settings a bit. I've found one style that really appeals to me, I'll try it out and show you the results in a bit. :)

    Solved Widescreen loading screens (previously: Graphic glitches on water when using dgVoodoo)

    Hmm, that didn't help either... but thanks nonetheless! :) Woohooo!! It works! xD Though they look pretty pixellated. But then again, so do the originals. I might upscale them to 1080p, even though they'll have a pretty big file size as TGA.TX files then. Who cares.:D We all have big enough...

    Solved Widescreen loading screens (previously: Graphic glitches on water when using dgVoodoo)

    Yeah, but the videos aren't stretched. They are just displayed centered, which is great. Thank you! I'll definitely give it a try! :)

    Solved Widescreen loading screens (previously: Graphic glitches on water when using dgVoodoo)

    I'm using Windows 10 Pro (current version, fully updated). I'm on DirectX 12. Should be the most current version. Nah, sadly neither Win7 nor XP compatibility seem to make any difference. I was thinking of maybe just editing the loading screens, so they are displayed correctly when stretched...

    Solved Widescreen loading screens (previously: Graphic glitches on water when using dgVoodoo)

    That's great, it works! (Without dgVoodoo – just editing the engine.ini to windowed and my desktop resolution.) However, all the loading screens and all the parts of the interface are now stretched, because I'm using 1920x1080... Anything I can do about that? edit: Of course I can set the...

    Solved Widescreen loading screens (previously: Graphic glitches on water when using dgVoodoo)

    When playing in windowed mode, the game works perfectly. But I really want to play it in full screen. Caribbean Tales won't work for me in full screen if I don't use dgVoodoo. The game automatically minimizes and as soon as I click the active icon on the task bar, it minimizes again. The game...

    Solved Vanilla PotC - Videos don't run correctly

    That's interesting... I have an AMD FX-4300 cpu and a Radeon R7 260X, and I'm using a completely unmodded/vanilla version of PotC. When I tried it out first, I had a strange problem with trading. In the tutorial bit where the first mate shows us around Oxbay and tells us to buy sandalwood and...

    Solved Vanilla PotC - Videos don't run correctly

    I must say I did have some trouble getting it to work with dgVoodoo at first. For me, these settings work perfectly now: ... while also having the resolution in the engine.ini to: screen_x = 1280 screen_y = 1024 screen_bpp = D3DFMT_X8R8G8B8 edit: If it doesn't start correctly (sometimes it...

    Solved Vanilla PotC - Videos don't run correctly

    Yeah, I'm using dgVoodoo anyway :) That way the game runs really smoothly. (I use it for every old Windows game that has problems with Windows 10.)

    Guide COMPLETE POTC WALKTHROUGH *SPOILER WARNING*

    Yeah, you're absolutely right. I was just afraid I'd missed something in the order of the quests or something, that's all. :)

    Guide COMPLETE POTC WALKTHROUGH *SPOILER WARNING*

    Now this is something that I've always found extremely confusing in the base game – just because of the way it's worded (something along the lines of "Didn't expect to see you here. – Yeah, we keep running into each other"). I always thought this is a bug in the main quest. Something I might...

    Solved Vanilla PotC - Videos don't run correctly

    Hey there, guys! Man, I haven't been on this forum for probably over ten years. Awesome to see you're still going strong! Now I've installed vanilla Pirates of the Caribbean (the German version) for the first time in ages and I've got a problem with the videos – like the Disney Interactive...

    Customizing the NH installation?

    Thank you so much for all the info, Pieter!! I've never messed with the game's file system so far, but I'll see what I can do. :) I'll definitely try Build 12.1, too, thank you! :) Thanks for the soundtrack mod, too, Nameless Pirate! :)

    Customizing the NH installation?

    Hi there! Been playing the original PotC since it was released back in the day. I've tried Build 13 when it was fairly new, too. Now I've installed the NH mod for the first time and there are some features I don't really like all that much, to be honest. Please don't let this offend you, guys...
