I thought I saw a thread on this but couldn't find it, will delete if there is another one.

Letter box for all, Yay :cry:

I hope Racer_S or DopeFish can help us out here, should be since the engine is the same and AC1 was sorted by Racer_S

Pilarboxing is bad, but I prefer it to Vert- Any day.

I'd help, but I promised myself not to buy another Ubisoft product again with their DRM (and $60 price).

Works for me with my 16:9 screen, but sucks for you guys.

I think this is one of those games where they are intense about presenting it the way they want and you just have to deal with it, etc. etc..

Fair enough.

Well, at least the menus won't be super stretched. Glad I bought this for the 360 myself (and got a cool $10 off since it was a preorder :D), at least they don't try to pull this letterboxing crap there.

I was expecting this; not the DRM madness. I'll just pass until the price is as LOW as Ubi's policies toward PC gamers. :evil: Ah well, I really have to reinstall AC1 for another playthrough anyway...

Glad to see this as a pre-release announcement on PCGH, though. Comparison screenshots outside of the WSGF, can you believe it ? :lol: Go guys !

I expect that the permanent internet connection will watch for any code-injection attacks on the game, thus breaking the possibility of a 3rd party fix for this.
