Hi, I have the problem that the installation program is telling me there is no apprppriate widescreen mod installed. I have installed the widescreenmod without any errors and tried once again after reinstalling the game but it still says the same. The PS:T UI wont be installed ;(

Does anyone have any idea what the problem might be? Would be very gratefull for any answears that can solve the problem as im really looking forward to a new runthrough after so many years!

Thank you // Gustav

btw im installing with these instructions:

Until the people in charge respond, the only thing that comes to mind is:

Did you install widescreen in one of the supported resolutions? If you install in other than 1280x1024 or 1280x720 or 1280x800, you'll run into trouble, possibly of this kind.

Also, what operating system are you running?

The obvious guess would be that you've installed the Widescreen mod with an unsupported resolution , but if that's not the case then I'll need to see the debug file.

You'll find a file in the installation folder named "SETUP-GHOSTDOG'S-PST-UI.DEBUG". Can you attach it here?

[Bescheid]

Here is the debug file

Attached Files

•  SETUP_GHOSTDOG__S_PST_UI.DEBUG   3.24K   295 downloads

Here is the debug file

WARNING: parsing log [WeiDU.log]: Sys_error("WeiDU.log: No such file or directory")

Let me guess, you have Vista? If so, you need to install the game to a non Program Files sub-folder, this is cause the files are protected by Vista and mirrored elsewhere, so none of the files are actually read correctly.
Or you actually hadn't installed the Widescreen mod yet... or an other WeiDU mods...
And let's remember that the Widescreen mod need to be installed first, before the Ghostdog's PS:T UI mod.

Well he said he was using windows xp. From the Debug you can see that my mod detects an unsupported resolution. If you have installed the widescreen mod correctly at a 1280x800 resolution, then there must be some other problem, but it's the first time something like that has come up. There could be some offset value mistake from my part, but it's unlikely since it should have been mentioned by others. Do you have the 2cd or the 4cd version of torment? Could you try installing one of the other resolutions and see if it works ?

[Bescheid]

4cd, sure ill test the other resulutions. thx for the input! but still frustrating ;(

edit: tested other resulutions, same thing

This is very strange. Are you certain you've followed every step of the installation correctly ? I assume you're using the latest version (v2.2) of the widescreen mod, right ?

Well, as Jarno says, this problem might be related with this warning found in the debug file "WARNING: parsing log [WeiDU.log]: Sys_error("WeiDU.log: No such file or directory")" . It shouldn't be there. Have you by any chance installed torment in some protected folder ? I know you're not using vista, but maybe some antivirus/security program is protecting this folder ? It seems that the mod can't find/write on the weidu.log. Have you installed Qwinn's mods (fixpack, UB, tweaks) successfully?

Hm, strange after another reinstall i did the installation procedure again and it worked Jippie! (I had v2.1 of widescrren, with the v2.2 it didnt work first but as I reinstalled it did, maybe that was the error?)

Wery well now i tried starting the game and i get this message: An Assertion failed in F:\Torment\Source\chitin\ChDimm.cpp at the line number 787
and the game wont start, any clue of what might be wrong now?

Open the Torment.ini and make sure the [Alias] headers point to the right folders.
Google is your friend. Yes, that's for BG2, so the line numbers is different for PS:T.

Yeah, this whole thing sounds like you haven't done the full install properly. Look here for instructions on how to do it.

for comparison in my ini it looks like this :

[Alias]
HD0:=c:\games\Torment
CD1:=F:\cd1
CD2:=C:\Games\Torment\TDATA\cd2
CD3:=C:\Games\Torment\TDATA\cd3
CD4:=C:\Games\Torment\TDATA\cd4
CD5:=F:\CD5

thx, well lol now its a new problem and I cant solve it with google now i get the following message: An Assertion failed in F:\Torment\Source\chitin\ChDimm.cpp at the line number 4322 Programmer says: No valid video modes supported.
but i have done as they say over in the "alpha"-forum and have the video mode costomized to allow the resolution, what else could be wrong here?

If you're sure that your card's control panel has the resolution you're trying to use as a viable one, then something may have gone wrong during all those installations/uninstallations. The only thing I can propose is to make a new install of everything.

[Bescheid]

Well i just did the new install... and I use the 1280x800 and have added it manually as suggested. wierd, somehow the game doesnt seem to want me playing again ;(

Edit: Think i solved it! When costomizing the resulution in the Nvida control panel u need to change from 32 bit to 16 bit, then it seems to work! One little thing they seem to have forgotten to mention.
