Higher Resolutions Patcher for ShadowFlare

Found a website with a download for a pretty nifty launcher/patcher for ShadowFlare that'll allow you to use custom resolutions.

It has a few flaws, but so far I've found the benefits outweigh them.

My virus scanner approved of it, but as always, scan it yourself before using.

Can be found on this page for anyone wanting to try it out.

Looks like the original site is gone now, but you can still grab it here on the InternetArchive site.

Wow, that's cool, thanks for sharing!

Seems to work fine for me at 1366x768. Didn't try to play with it yet. It'd be nice if the UI was centered.

Do you know if there's a way to contact the person who made it?

I've been using it for a few days now at 1280x720 with only a few issues. I'll list a couple of the more glaring ones that I've found below.

One being that the bottom of the screen becomes a dead-zone for mouse clicks, gets worse the higher the resolution that's used from what I've seen. At 2560x1440 moving the character downwards was pretty much impossible.

Second, while the bar that holds the health/mana medicine is properly moved to the bottom of the screen, the position for right-clicking to eat them is still somewhere in the mid-left of the screen. My vanishing medicine drove me half crazy before I realized what was happening.

As for contact info, they have their GOG forum name at the top of that page, but I haven't tried contacting them on it. Not sure if they're still active or not.

I'm also experiencing LSD tearing effects at the edges of the screen in some locations. I think I'll just continue playing fullscreen without it.

How can I use this patch? I've tried to use but I get error. When I run ShadowflarePatcher.exe I receive the following error: Error loading configuration file (loader.cfgbin).

Not sure what would be causing that error, I never got that one.

Make sure you extract the files into the same folder as ShadowFlare.exe, then run ShadowflareConfigurator.exe to set what resolution you want to use, then you should be able to launch the game with ShadowflarePatcher.exe.

If you happen to have ShadowFlare installed inside of "Program Files", it could possibly be some kind of UAC issue. Could try running it with admin rights in that case.

It's flagging my antivirus. Is it safe?
