Has anyone found the perfect settings for triple 5:4's (3840x1024)?
I don't know if these are the mathematically perfect settings, but I'm perfectly happy with the X FOV setting at 2.94.

No need to Alt-Tab out of the game ... instructions for altering the settings are on the front of the tool and you can do it in game.

Those settings were a pretty damned close match to the 5:4 ... took me ages to get to them ... lol


Ah, brain-fart...I'll try again :roll:

Great 'Britishism'! Or are you from across the pond and the phrase is common over there as well?

I'm British, you muppet!

No, I've heard and used it before and I was raised in upstate New York.

Great fix, works a treat...

sadly I feel it may also have demonstrated why the devs chose not to release with widescreen support - when I use the fov hack to correct the disply, I get flickering shadows, particularly obvious on the hill sides, but visible in other places...

assuming not everyone is having this problem, so for the record, my rig:

q9550 @3.4
4GB OCZ DDR2 800
4870x2

vista ultimate 64
latest catalyst hotfix

running at 1920x1200

edit - natch running everything on highest available settings, 4x AA...

Excellent work! Donation made.

Working perfectly for me in 3840x1024. A credit to Ubi that I'm getting good frames at this resolution even with AA enabled and fire raging.

I was enjoying this game on one screen.... It is sooooooo much better in triple head.

Thanks RacerS!

Thanks again Racer_S, it is getting where I won't even install a game until I see one of your fixes is available!
