Firstly, thank you so much for the plugin (along with dopefish). You have made this game infinitely more fun!

The latest plugin works very well for the most part. But below is a list of issues I have found - I hope they help you in some way:
AMD Eyefinity (6048x1080 for me)

1. Hud centering works mostly, but in single player (SP), the notices when you unlock codex entries or war assets still appear on the far right screen 90% of the time. This also applies to paragon/renegade notices and reputation. 10% of the time, they will appear on the centre monitor, but I have no idea what changed to make this happen.

2. In multiplayer (MP) the countdown timer/hacking progress/whatever is always on the right screen. The list of which player killed which enemy also appears on the right screen. Just like single player, very rarely this information will actually appear on the centre screen (which is excellent), but it is not clear why this happens - it seems to be luck! Also, although other players appear correctly on the screens, their names (normally floating above their heads) do not stay in the right place unless they are EXACTLY in front of you. The further left or right they are from you, the more their name doesnt match up. This way, you sometimes get floating player names nowhere near the players!

3. In the MAIN MENU screen (where you choose single player, multi player, extras etc etc) sometimes the text will be completely missing! You can't choose resume, single player, load game, multiplayer etc because they are not there! Only option is alt+F4 then restart game!

Hope this helps in some way :)

Thx for the info;)) I know there are issues when Using Eyefinity setups... Apparently the engine work differently on nvidia Surround and Eyefinity. Since I have only nv Surround I cannot make it work for Eyefinity also:( still looking in finding a way though...

I would be more than happy to be a tester for you on eyefinity if you like!

By the way, you really should come on the WSGF IRC channel :)

May have a possible solution for Nvidia users found accidently while fixing the HUD for eyefinity -- if someone has nvidia hardware and can test add me on gtalk flawlesswidescreen@gmail.com so can test [don't have nvidia hardware]

Should make it behave like it does on Eyefinity where everything is fine, except for the HUD.

For nVidia Hardware everything is fixed except for the character scales in menus. I am willing to do some tests if you want;)) You can send me the app using a private message here on the forums:) Hope that helps

So are you saying that HUD centering works 100% of the time in nvidia? On Eyefinity, the "prompts" (such as reputation, codex entries, asset unlocks etc) all appear on the right screen, not the centre one. This also applies to multiplayer, and its worse in multiplayer because the names of other players do not stay over their heads unless they are directly in front of you. The same goes for any objective marker.

Yupp that is Correct My fix has no problems in Single or Multi player on nVidia hardware (except for map markers not aligning and the scale in the menu).
Give a try Demo fix and tell me if that works on Eyefinity hardware;)) because I can translate that easily for the Final game.

The only thing I find a problem in Eyefinity (although not a game breaker) is the "prompts" as you put mentioned appearing on the right monitor. Now while that isn't too much of a problem for me, it is when I'm in the galaxy map view as the right and left monitors are blanked out, so you don't see them pop up at all unless you quickly escape out of the galaxy map view before they fade off the screen.
While the HUD not being centred is a little annoying I can live with it, unless you've got a fix for that Hayden?

Do objective markers on Nvidia with widescreen fixer get centred with the rest of the HUD as well? (offset from where they are supposed to be?)

Really having trouble getting Mass Effect to play in 5040 x 1050. I am using WSf V3.1 r411. I press the Star key at the logo into screen with EA and Bio Ware, nothing happened except that I could use J to increase the FOV. I restarted loads of times and tried * at different locations but nothing. Should I see a noticeable differance after the logo screens??

My version is a bough DVD version that is authenticated through Origin, is thi sthe same as downloading the game ans should work with this fix?
Also text is missing from the game and I can't see the response slider either..

Please let me know if I am being stupid

Cheers
Gareth

Fix works for Surround only. No Eyefinity support:) Read the above posts:)
