Press Ctrl + F . Change the datatype to "Hex-values" . Search for the following string: 80 02 00 00 E0 01 00 00
However, if you have tried to launch this gem on a modern PC recently, you have encountered the dreaded “black bars” or the “stretched potato” effect. The game was coded for 4:3 monitors (800x600 or 1024x768). On a 16:9, 16:10, or 21:9 ultrawide monitor, the experience is abysmal.
Using the hex edit method or DGVoodoo2 transforms the game into a modern-friendly tactical shooter that holds its own against Hidden & Dangerous 2 and Rainbow Six 3 .
Launch HxD. Drag and drop Conflict Global Storm.exe into the window.
You will find a block of data that looks like this: 80 02 00 00 E0 01 00 00 00 04 00 00 00 03 00 00
This is the hex code for 640x480 (Width: 0x280 = 640, Height: 0x1E0 = 480).
