About This File

FULL CREDITS TO Charlie Brown (aka Chuck-IE), AuToMaNiAk005
I wasn't able to contact authors, so I'm re-uploading this file form different source (from HERE)

Patch features:

  1. Full support of common resolutions: 1280x720, 1366x768, 1600x900, 1920x1080, 2560x1440 and 3840x2160
  2. Fixed "Widescreen" option from the game settings menu. Now it works as intended.
  3. Applies 60 FPS patch on game start (Can be configured in fps.cfg for other refresh rates).
  4. Support for Xbox controllers with the most convenient layout for the game.

How to install:

  1. Download the archive and copy the contents of the folder inside the archive with the resolution you need into the directory of game installation.
  2. (OPTIONAL) Set the following parameters for the IceAge2CustomFPS.exe and IceAge2pc.exe files: "Run as administrator" and "Application scaling mode" (right-click -> Properties -> Compatibility -> Change high DPI settings -> scaling mode - Application).
  3. Start the game via IceAge2CustomFPS.exe.
  4. Turn on the game and change resolution in settings to match your aspect ratio (1024x788 for 16:9, 640x480/800x600 for 4:3)

ATTENTION FOR LINUX USERS:

In order to run the game with the fix under wine/proton, you should add command-line argument (startup argument) to IceAge2CustomFPS.exe :  

cd [path to the game folder]

The path should point to the location of IceAge2CustomFPS.exe, but not the file itself (folder where executable located, not .exe itself)

Patch doesn't work on Linux Kubuntu 25.10 with Wine 10. Vanilla game launching fine with a No-CD .exe, but this patch makes it fail to lauch regardless of which .exe file I use (Vanilla, No-CD, and the provided one). The farthest I got was launching the terminal through Proton using the provided Launch Options, but then it just infinitely searches for content. Patch probably works great on Windows, but it is a mess on Linux. Not sure what to do. Can provide screenshots if needed for troubleshooting.

First of all, Linux distro doesn't matter in this situation. The patch was tested under proton both using steam and lutris as a startup framework. While I didn't tested Wine, the base game working under it suggests the patch should too, as it is just simple shell script that should and does work on any taken modern Wine/proton version.

Worth mentioning that the startup can rarely take up some time, up to 50 seconds. If it doesn't start otherwise, rest assured - you have user error situation.

Make sure you follow instructions closely.
