I know you're asking cranky, but there are no blemishes and no DR omissions, so yes.

i have three 1920x1200 screens and i get the option for eyefinity, but it appears to be very stretched horizontally, and not at all like the screen shots shown in the report.

any idea why this is happening, and how to correct it?

In the graphics options, make sure to set Aspect Ratio to Normal.

cheers, but i either get 16:10 or 5:3, and both are distorted.

is this normal, or a known error?

There's definitely something wrong. I have 4:3, 16:10, 16:9, 5:3 and Normal to choose from. Maybe you can try a manual edit, here's what my config file looks like:

DocumentsMy GamesDiRT2hardwaresettingshardware_settings_config.xml


[list]aspect="normal" fullscreen="true" vsync="0" multisampling="4xmsaa">[/list:u]

If that doesn't help, try deleting hardware_settings_info.xml to force the game to re-detect all display modes available to your system.
