Servers have been down for 4 days now, not a single response from HaYDeN (guy who made the program), is this end of the days?. I really hope nothing bad has not happened to him, or that he has killed the program, because he does all hard work for the widescreen fixes at spare time and probably doesnt get too much credit for it (donates).

Without this program my 21:9 screen is fucking useless, atleast Windows desktop and movies are showing properly. Only handfull of games supports widescreen resolutions properly out of the box, which are made by guys that are smart enough to realize that there are more screens than just fucking TV´s. Guess ill need just plug my PC to my HDTV and start derping around from sofa.

Hope he is well.

But don't worry about your screen too much, someone is bound to do what he has been doing

Still down, really sucks Sad Luckily someone has their own updated copy with all available plugins (as of a few days ago at least)

http://www.wsgf.org/forums/viewtopic.php?p=154394#p154394

It certainly helps if you didn't manage to snag all the plugins at the time Smile

~edit~

Egghhh... I guess using that breaks your existing install. At least it did for me, no detection log in the main window and using it on I Am Alive caused the FOV to leap up by about a hundred grinhurt

Real life probably got in the way, happens. Still, hoping everything is alright.

The only time I have ever used Flawless Widescreen was for Evil Within. Worked... well... flawlessly. Razz

Luckily my display is of ever-so-popular 16:9 AR, so I'm pretty much covered. Nonetheless, I can imagine 21:9 owners being in dire straits right now. Or at least feel seriously worried about the futurz .

Guys,

I've been extremely busy with work stuff recently, basically living and breathing work.. add on top of this one of my SSD's dying (Raid 0, yay) my PC's basically been off, waiting for a replacement SSD to come, which is now and in and I'm back up and going again.

Re: Website.

Website is down due to the widespread drupal exploit, which basically all sites started getting hit literally within hours of its announcement... site was patched on the 17th and after an audit of the logs it appears evident that their exploit attempt failed to do anything nefarious, the fact that the write permissions on the files were locked down, eg. apache couldn't write to those files means they didn't succeed in planting anything malicious... further exploits obviously failed because it was patched, however things like database interaction are not easily audited.

I'd hazard a guess there's tens of thousands or more drupal based sites out there with backdoors now installed [lying dormant] and erring on the side of extreme caution I've decided to drop the site, rebuild it with static content and drop drupal entirely, that is why the site is currently down... and basically my recommendation would be that if you interact with _ANY_ drupal based website tread with caution going forward unless you know they've been secured.

You can read about it here: https://www.drupal.org/drupalsa05FAQ

It will be back up shortly now that I have some time available.

I bet there was a massive surge in donations, so he should probably take his site temporarily offline from time to time for a few days without prior notice. Profit! Laughing

Very glad to hear everything is okay, though it sucks he lost one of his drives. Hopefully he made enough donations during the downtime to replace it without personal cost Very Happy
