Apache Longbow Assault - Provided ini file is incompatible with widescreen fix

[RonaldNand]

Hi

I've been having some issues with your widescreen fix for Apache Longbow Assault, the game will not render properly when you launch a mission.

Using the log file provided with fix and checking the code I managed to find the cause. The ini file provided see below, did not pick up values under the resolution and FOV headings. Examining the log shows this.

[WidescreenFix]
Enabled=true

[Resolution]
Width=0
Height=0

[FOV]
FixFOV=true
FOVFactor=1.0

What I noticed in your code in source was that it looked for items under heading "Settings", so I tweaked the file as below.

[WidescreenFix]
Enabled=true

[Settings]
FixFOV=true
FOVFactor=1.0
Width=2560
Height=1440

And it works, its in widescreen and the fov is adjusted.

Since it looks like just the ini file is problem. I imagine its a simple fix for you.

Can you update so that new people won't have to go through trial and error to get it to work?

Appreciate your patch, I really dig the arcade-sim mix in these games and I can appreciate them on my 1440p monitor fully!

Hi, I updated the fix now, should work fine this time.

Hey, can confirm the new fix is working without needing to play around with the config. But I am noticing an issue.

It seems like when I close the game and reopen it the FOV fix isn't being applied, the resolution is right but my cockpit view is stretched and noticeably different from the first run.

I can 'fix' this by exiting the mission going to options and selecting my resolution again and then when I load the mission it's runs as expected.

Not the biggest hassle to fix but if it could be updated so you don't have to would be good.

I can't reproduce that issue on my end, for me everything always worked fine and the way it's intended to be, I'm sorry.
