Post subject:  Risen 2: Dark Waters - No Eyefinity/Surround Support (yet?)
Risen 2 - the successor to Risen, which worked very well in Eyefinity/Surround except some minor flaws - doesn't support Eyefinity/Surround. It even won't run in these resolutions when manually editing the Config File.

However, I have made some progress in editing one more Config file. The results were still quite disappointing: The game started in 5040x1050 Window mode, videos and main menu were streteched and when trying to start a new game, it crashed.
The Config files seem to be written in LUA, from what I can tell. So this is what I was able to do, I hope someone with more knowledge can progress further:

C:UsersAppDataLocalRisen2ConfigConfigUser.xml
Change your resolution here: (Line 65 for me)
Code:
<Window
            Top="0"
            Right="5040"
            RefreshRate="60"
            Left="0"
            Bottom="1050"
            AdapterNumber="0"
         >


..SteamSteamAppscommonrisen 2datainiConfigDefault.xml
Starting from Line 26 there is a section with common aspect ratios. I added 48x10 aspect ratio:
Code:
<Aspect48x10
           VirtalWidth="1728"
           VirtalHeight="1080"
           EnableDrawScale="True"
         >


Needless to say, I'm very disappointed of this step backwards :(

//*Edit:
Here is a screenshot of the results after editing the .xml files:

Damn it I have been trying as well it just doesn't work, no reg edit and no launcher, those config files just don't work, I may try a bit more but I have almost given up, I think its a dead end.

[Update] I have made progress! 5760x1080 aspect is a bit messed up it may actually work...

5760x1080 in progress

[Update] never mind it will not work through configs, game clearly only knows aspects 4x3 16x9 16x10 5x4 5x3 and the menus in game a totally jacked. Sigh :( another one down, this one going to need memory hacks or a official patch.

Everything can be fixed:) So even this can be fixed:) Waiting for "another" release type and I will give it a try:) if people are interested:) or maybe somebody else fixes it in the meantime;))

I did that it makes no diff it does not know what that aspect ratio is, the game probably has a list(switch statement or what ever), we need to override the current aspect ratio while playing like the guys do with mem hacks.
