I've browsed the forums and the last post on this game dated a bit - i thoguht I'd ask again :)

Any method to play this game @ 3840x1024 ? Right now, everything is SNAFU - can't even START the game, menus are all not even visible.

Thx!

Firmware update!

As soon as Matrox sent me the link, I just applied it and "voila!" - a fresh new and very useful "swap display" functionality :)

Thanks to everyone who contributed to this thread and helped me out!

Seasons greetings to all :)

I'm getting some UI rescale. I've checked mod and tested it like crazy and it's seems that stretching the display to 3840x1024 has an impact on those: - XP awards (look on the pic) too big - Player Arrow in minimap too small - Chat bubbles too big - "High Threat" / "Attacking you" / "Changing Target...

I'd be curious to see if we can just put a font file (.fnt) in the same folder the huge texture file is and see if it overrides it.

in any case, i have to agree that's kind of a deal breaker, not being able to read on a computer screen without bleeding the eyes.. :(

Hopefully others have bought this fine game :)

1. Anyone knows how to get the UI to display in the center monitor only (like rFactor) instead of stretching on all three.

2. Field of view seems distorted on the side monitors (left mirro looks super huge!), what am i doing wrong ?

Thx!
