Wrapping up the facts to sort things out before I post a Confirmed Solution... Sorry if it's a *bit* messy atm, and feel free to post any questions/comments.
Hopefully people looking for info on SH5 will find some answers here.
-Resolution support:
All resolutions up to 2560x1600 are supported natively.
You can also edit the [VIDEO] section of My DocumentsSH5datacfgmain.cfg
Minimum resolution is 1024x720, any custom resolution of height<720 or width<1024 will be 'corrected' automatically.
All ARs are supported including 16:10, 15:9, 16:9 and pretty much everything else.
-Two-folded widescreen support:
Free cam (external view) & guns: Vert-
4:3
16:10
16:9
First-person view: Hor+/Vert+
4:3
16:10
16:9
-Stuff that can be modded: (I still have to try a couple things, so I'll post more details later.)
I have no idea how to mod the first-person view. :(
However a couple other FOV values can be edited in Silent 3ditor, so as to make the free cam & gunner view Hor+.
Open C:UbisoftSilent Hunter 5dataLibrarycameras.cam and look for the 'AngularAngle' value under CameraParams at index #19, 183 & 195.
16:9, free cam, AngularAngle = 91
-Multi-monitor gaming is unsupported.
The game will run at any multi-mon res, but the broken first-person view renders the game unplayable.
The Hor+/Vert+ FOV results in increasingly distorted graphics beyond a 16:9 AR. The viewport starts to collapse at ARs > 3:1, and the whole 3D scene turns to solid black at actual Surround resolutions.
2800x900, first-person view
2900x900, first-person view
4320x900, first-person view
The Free cam is just Vert-, though.
4320x900, free cam
Several things don't work. Clicking on the interface to change depth or speed don't work. Must use the keyboard commands. Interiour walk around doesn't work, but Free view does and I can move around and change my view. But I think it may be just best to use the jump keys to move to periscope and stuff like that, rather than Freelook and moving there.. If this continues to work, I will try and see if there are any mods out there that will make the interface work, add some zoom keys (since mousewheel doesn't work), etc..
