Жесткий Запад – Исправление разрешения и слишком большой яркости

Apart from the reported crashing issues, which we already fixed using this Hard West troubleshooting guide, players are also experiencing issues on the game’s resolution and brightness. With the current version of the game, it seems that players have been experiencing this kind of in-game issue. If you’re one of those players who want to get rid of this problem, это руководство для вас.

Версия

На сегодняшний день, январь 4, 2024, the version of the game I’m dealing with is like this:

• В игре, it’s called v1.5.
• The Build ID is 2221372, dated October 23, 2017.
• The Depot ID is 307671, specifically for Hard West Windows 64-bit.
• The Manifest ID is 4355398337640179647, and it’s from June 22, 2017.

It’s not expected that there will be more updates.

Проблема

Many folks on forums have expressed frustration and pleaded with the game developers to let them tweak the user interface (пользовательский интерфейс) и, самое главное, the font size.

This problem troubles both those with really big screens and individuals like me with quite small monitors.

Despite the outcry, the developers are adamant about not resolving this issue. Вместо, they recommend that people decrease the resolution. Однако, this isn’t a feasible solution for me since the game provides only one resolution, and it’s significantly higher than my monitor’s native resolution.

It seems like the game’s system requirements should have clearly stated “FullHD (1920×1080) monitor only” to prevent this kind of situation.

Исправление

We’re gearing up to update the game.

If you’re not yet familiar with Unity mechanics, the real game code is stashed away in a .NET/Mono assembly located at…

SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\HardWest\HardWest_Data\Managed\Assembly-CSharp.dll

Тем временем, the file at…

SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\HardWest\HardWest.exe

…serves as a run-of-the-mill Unity launcher, spruced up with a different icon.

Сейчас, let’s dive into the patching process.

There are various ways to follow the path I’ve taken.

Choose your preferred method.

Сборка

For those familiar with .NET assembly, a tool like dnSpy can be employed to tweak the game code.

Перейдите к…

если (Screen.resolutions[я].ширина >= 1280)

…condition within the…

CFGOptionsPanel#Start

…функция. You have the option to remove this condition entirely or play it safe by setting the inline literal constant to 1.

A more refined approach is to modify…

IL_012E: ldc.i4.1

In an even more streamlined manner…

Hex Editor

The most minimal alteration involves tweaking just two bytes:

0x0457AE: 0x17
0x0457B0: 0x00

If you’re comfortable with hex-editing, this stands out as the simplest and most effective patching method.

Альтернативно, a pre-made binary patch can be used for convenience.

Here’s a handy Xdelta версия 3.0.11 patch file что, when applied to the original game assembly, will transform it to the state achieved with the hex edit mentioned earlier.

Перед погружением, make sure to safeguard your assembly by renaming it, perhaps to something like…

Back up your assembly by renaming it to something like…

Assembly-CSharp.dll.BAK

Сейчас, let’s get to the patching process. Use a variation of…

xdelta3.exe -d -s Assembly-CSharp.dll.BAK Assembly-CSharp.dll.xdelta Assembly-CSharp.dll

Ensure the paths are adjusted appropriately. The patch won’t apply if it encounters the wrong file.

For those less comfortable with a terminal, seek out a GUI frontend for xdelta to simplify the process.

Consider using a tool like Delta Patcher; однако, note that in its later versions, it’s not just a frontend but a reimplementation. It should still serve the purpose well.

In case you accidentally misplace your original assembly and need to recover it, initiate the integrity check within Steam’s game properties.
