WWP: A real compatibility fix for Windows 11 / 10 / 8.1 / 7 / Vista / XP

Is there a way to use it in 1.01 my language?

That is interesting, I haven't seen such a version. I suppose you mean ReSolution (because the compat patch itself should work fine on any version).
Your EXE indicates a timestamp of 04/02/2002 05:13:50, which is roughly a year later than 05/14/2001 15:32:59 of the European version.

This will need looking up all the differences between EU and this for ReSolution to work.

What I really needed was only the fix.
Running the only fix in my language 1.01 puts the frontend in windowed mode. And I can't select the menu.

This will be the same if you run the my wwp.exe+only fix from your WWP setup folder.

When running frontend in fullscreen, I will be able to select the menu.

And timestamp of 04/02/2002. Because Korean WWP was released around April 2002.

Thanks for this, amazing work. Could you please look into getting the crashes on Wine fixed though? I have a Windows 10 VM where the game runs perfectly with ReSolution + wndmode, but I'd rather not have to boot such a massive VM just to play this game on Linux

This is what I tried to do (I'm running a 64-bit Arch Linux with the KDE Plasma desktop environment btw):
1. I set up a fresh Wine 5.4 prefix in 32-bit mode (export WINEARCH=win32) and enabled emulated desktop in winecfg to prevent the game from messing with my screen resolution and bitdepth settings (tried without emulated desktop and makes no difference except after force-closing the game I have to manually change the resolution back to normal after the fact). I also installed all the optional and multilib dependencies for Wine to get the game's audio working out of the box (winetricks was not involved).
2. From that point onward, running WWP through Wine on Linux as-is (wine wwp.exe) runs the game and you can hear the audio, but you're left with a black screen.
3. Installing ReSolution + wndmode with default settings at first changed nothing. I knew that this was because dll hooks don't load without tweaking Wine settings. After starting winecfg and adding dsound to the library overrides (as native, then builtin) causes the game to crash instantly on startup (and Wine debug window shows crash occurs in wndmode.dll).
4. When tweaking wndmode.ini and setting UseGDI or UseDirect3D to 1 and setting UseDirectDraw to 0, game boots and displays the frontend correctly. But it crashes when trying to start any match, right before the loading screen cake appears. Interestingly enough, the game does get ingame without the mod (I managed to mash my way ingame blind and it didn't crash. I could hear it from the audio and the virtual desktop screen also turned white. Granted, getting here meant ignoring the warning in the files and I admit that I don't know what I'm doing, changing those settings. But if the mod didn't instant crash with UseDirectDraw=1, maybe I could get ingame?)

I also tried adding cnc-ddraw into the mix as well, see if that prevented the directdraw crash. It didn't.

...another fantastic work, thank you StepS.

This fix does not work with the Polish local retail version.    Zooming/Resizing This can't be done with any key.    How can I fix this, can I do it myself?

Good News,

thanks to the hints of PABLEXWorld WWP with resolution fix is now working with Wine in Virtual Desktop Mode!

1. Wine 8.19 configured to use a virtual desktop can run standard WWP 1.01 in XGA resolution
2. As the dsound.dll from the patch ist ignored by default, you need to override it in wincfg (first native, then builtin)
3. Remove the files wkWndMode.dll and wndmode.dll from the WWP dir (otherwise game will crash)
4. My Ini File for my FullHD Screen (Note that the virtuel Desktop in winecfg has the same resolution):
[Resolution]
ScreenWidth=1820
ScreenHeight=960

[Resizing]
Enable=0
ProgressiveUpdate=0
AltEnter=1

[Zooming]
Enable=0
UseMouseWheel=1
UseKeyboardZoom=1
UseTouchscreenZoom=1
5. During Main Screen / Game Menus displayed in VGA, the window will not permanently catch the mouse, good time to move the Wine Window to the upper left corner of your desk.
6. Enjoy (there seems to be quite a bit of overhead compared to native Windows FullHD)

Thanks to Wine Team and StepS for their great work!
