I have just downloaded Serious Sam 3 from Steam and after launching it I was breathless. Not only menus and HUD are centered, but also video custcenes appear to be hor+. I haven't tried single screen to compare but movies are not stretched and they don't appear vert-. I have tested it for only 5 minutes (had to go to work) but this game looks a triple screen masterpiece.

The only problem that I have found out is that some HUD elements are hidden behind the bezels when using bezel-compensated resolutions, that should be pretty easy to fix for the developers.

Anyone else tried it (for more than 5 minutes if possible)?

I purchased the game as soon as i heard it supported triple monitor properly, just waiting for it to download now :)
I'll check the bezel compensated resolution as soon as i get the chance, i hope it supports xbox 360 controller, that would be the icing on the cake. (Yeah i know mouse and keyboard is better)

This game offers a kick-ass multi-monitor support, please check the game's Detailed Report, under Additional In-Game Shots, you can easily adjusting screen at multi-monitor resolutions.

Just completed the first level, the detailed report says it all really, the game has perfect triple monitor support.
The hud elements fit perfectly on my center monitor even with bezel compensation ( 5930x1080), you can scale the hud in the options if you need to.
Even works fine with 360 controller but without rumble, and has native support for my G15 display too which was very surprising.
Getting about 60 fps so far with everything set to ultra.
Having great fun with this game, theres been almost no hype about this game so i hope it does well :)

Croteam propably don't have $100 million budget so that's propably the reason for lack of adds. Hopefully they do well because I want more of this. I'm done yawning in battlefield bushes.

Is there official word what BFE means? Rumor has it is Bum Fuck Egypt or the nicer version Before First Encounter.

Not only G15 but they have also developed support for G19 and it uses its full color display. I wish 'bigger' developers follow the path of Croteam. The effort they have put in this game shows in every corner.

As far as I know it means 'Battle for Earth'

It seems like things blur up a bit when I go from 1920 x 1080 to 5760 x 1080. It gives me a warning when selecting this resolution about the image being stretched. I noticed this same fuzziness in Serious Sam HD @ 5760 x 1080 :(

That's because the rendering resolution is set lower than the display resolution. Adjust that under GPU settings. A performance hit is to be expected...

Then you don't know :bigsmile: (hint: titles of previous games)
