| Settlers 5: Heritage of Kings - Borderless Window fix | ||
| # Settlers 5: Heritage of Kings - Borderless Window fix | ||
|
|
||
| This is a patch for the Settlers 5: Heritage of Kings (**non**-History Edition), which updates the executable to replace the existing windowed mode with fullscreen borderless window mode. | ||
|
|
||
| ## Releases | ||
|
|
||
| https://github.com/gherkster/settlers-5-borderless-window/releases/latest | ||
|
|
||
| ## Prerequisites | ||
|
|
||
| ### Enable windowed mode | ||
| A registry update is required to enable the resolution picker on game startup, which includes the required windowed mode. | ||
|
|
||
| To do this, create/update the registry value at `HKLM\SOFTWARE\Blue Byte\The Settlers - Heritage Of Kings\Development\DefaultResolution` to **`select`**. | ||
|
|
||
|  | ||
|
|
||
| More details can be found on the [PC Gaming Wiki](https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/The_Settlers:_Heritage_of_Kings). | ||
|
|
||
| ## Usage | ||
|
|
||
| Each time the game is launched, the default RenderWare resolution picker will open, defaulted to windowed mode in the primary monitor's resolution. | ||
|
|
||
|  | ||
|
|
||
| By installing this patch and selecting this option, the game will launch using that resolution in borderless window mode. | ||
|
|
||
| > Note: This patch does not support launching on the non-primary monitor. Funnily enough, the original game did not work with this option either using this menu. | ||
| ## Supported Versions | ||
|
|
||
| This patch supports the latest 1.6.217.0 version of the game, and is the same executable in the GoG release. It is also compatible with the [Windows 10 Creators update fix](https://www.siedler-maps.de/forum.php?action=showthread&threadid=21779). | ||
|
|
||
| The SHA-256 hashes of those executables are | ||
| * GoG - `A65C8AF96AB43D9C006B9FC5EDC8C2A63A425DF2F04CF88CB43F3F0F726066D7` (4.80 MB) | ||
| * Patched CE - `B020EECD2C6D5925116C70E8FB204BACFF49794A92CC4441FCF77E4DBDEB5AEF` (4.80 MB) | ||
|
|
||
| It will likely work with any other copy which is the same file size, but will not work for other copies direct from the Ubisoft updater, which are over 6 MB. | ||

||
| # Installation | ||
|
|
||
