The server admin pointed at a possible encoding issue, so I figured it could be related to the service not accepting parentheses in file names, so I just renamed the files and reuploaded. Downloading works for me now.

It works for me now, Thank You! 🙂

Hi, I'm having an issue, i've just started the game, and while everything is fine ingame, some cutscenes are on the right side of the screen (left just black). while most of the cutscenes are totally fine and 5120x1440?..

Please read the description of Option 1. Most cutscenes are rendered in real time.

thanks for the speedy reply. So there's no way around it?.. I mean it's a small price to pay i guess! would be fine if  it  was at least centered instead of to the left. but oh well!

 

(Just noticed i got my left and right mixed up in my initial post)

I have created a simple batch program to automatically launch and enable Rose's Death Stranding display mod together with the game (including automatic keystrokes: F5, F6 and F7).
I decided to share it for anybody's convenience. 🙂

Death Stranding Combo-Launch for Rose's Display Mod.zip

Windows Security detects the trainer as a severe threat when I unpack it from the archive. Has anyone else experienced this? 

EDIT: Found a solution that worked for me. See below.

Yes

Yes

VirusTotal reports 41/71 engines detecting the trainer as malware. I sent the file to Microsoft and their system flagged it as malware as well. I also ran it through HybridAnalysis and the trainer trips two out of three of their checks as well as their sandbox. This is all in addition to Windows Defender and MalwareBytes reading the trainer as malware.

I understand that Cheat Engine trainers are often mistaken for malware, but that is a truly astounding number of red flags. Is your suggestion that anyone interested in this mod should just ignore all of those warnings?

Microsoft's initial scan is based on the current definitions. Wait for their analyst response.

CE trainers containing its components are not just often treated as malware but always are. You can generate a completely empty trainer right now and check it with VirusTotal to see how it fares.

My suggestion is to do what you feel is right though. I lose nothing when somebody chooses not to use any of my solutions but I'm glad if it helps.

GOT IT WORKING! Mod is functioning flawlessly and is a huge improvement to the base game. Fantastic job.

I downloaded the 2.0 version of the trainer, which is the oldest version that still includes the FoV fix. I was only looking for the FoV fix, so it doesn't matter to me whether the resolution changes work or not. Version 2.0 still trips some engines on VirusTotal, but significantly fewer - 29/71 as opposed to 41/71.  Windows Defender also doesn't recognize it as a threat, so I was comfortable trying it out. Works perfectly. 

Thanks for all your hard work!

I've sent some of my files to Microsoft, while some of the others may have been sent by others and later removed as false positives. I may have done it to version 2.0 too. You can check back on your submission regarding 2.1 later as well. Either way, it's good you found a solution that you feel comfortable with.

have some of you ever checked the exe at Virus Total?

i have programmed a new Fix that not manipulate the game while the runtime

The Widescreen Fix for the Steam Version, not tested with Epic Store Release... maybe it work too.

The Fix detects your nativ Monitor (0) Screen Resolution
and highlight it automatically in the Aspect Ratio List

before you add the Aspect Ratio Fix, the Tool create a
backup from your original ds.exe if you check the box.

Information:

for the first time, Windows Defender may let you know, that
the exe is unsafe. The only messy problem for the first run:
the Widescreen Fix is not digital signed and recognizable
for Microsoft. thats all

VirusTotal scan by our UHD FIX at:
https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/27aa2514a65938ad6b41e81c2039bc2b70c26c3cf2ab6cbdb080f844795c1155/detection

This fix must not run after starting the game: Death Stranding.

run our Fix, browse to the game exe if not automatically found: ds.exe
select ýour desired Aspect Ratio or leave the highlighted, hit the Button - enjoy the game without black bars.

i tried the old version before and it worked for me, FMVs were not centered but atleast i could see the whole picture.

now i tried your fix and it seems to work, atleast i could select my resolution under 21:9 ingame -> 5120x1440 (which actually is 32:9 but i guess the game only knows 16:9 and 21:9). looked good so far, can't tell anything about FMVs as i haven't seen any since i tried your patch.

just a slight suggestion: once patching is done, a small confirmation message would be cool as i didn't know if your patch just worked or is still doing it's thing etc.

thanks for the patch btw ^^

Hello guys, is there a way to play this game at 1800p (3200 x 1800) I know the game does not support custom resolutions, I am playing on 27inch 4k display.

Hi,

 

I just registered here to let you know that this is flagging up totally clean in virus total now. *edit* just realised the zip only contains batch etc. rather than the trainer, not to worry!*

*edit2* Fix itself shows clean too, thanks!

Also, thanks for the fixes! I'm going to try this with my Epic version now.

Hey, I was able to use an older version of the mod to adjust the fov, but after a restart the mod has stopped working. Now when I extract the files into a filder the winrar has an access denied error, this happens with all versions of the mod.

Looks like your antivirus software blocking it. See this article if you use Defender.
