Widescreen Gaming Forum

ok so heres the video.
i hate fraps, i hate windows movie maker, i hate "super" video converter, and i hate youtube. this video took over an hour to work right cause of the res switches, its still 1/2 sized from normal, and after over an hour.. it wasnt worth it at all lol

Has any one tried SR3 in portrait mode (3240x1920)?

havnt tried it portrait, but i have to say playing on a 4:3 monitor is even has the hud oddly distracting. think about it, with each decrease of pixel width the map circle and the weapon circle get closer together. currently on my 4:3 setup they are inside of 1280 pixels as opposed to the 1920 of those with 1080/1200 monitors. thats a huge drop.
even playing with a centered hud the map or ammo display gets in front of my character pretty much every time i am running sideways or moving the camera around, its kind of annoying really. esp if i want to take a few screen grabs and rotate the camera to see my characters face.

i think dropping yet more pixels down would really make it that much worse. just my opinion anyway.
i wouldnt be surprised if it did work using the method i posted in the video though,
give it a shot and let us know

I don't have a surround setup yet.

I need an extra GTX 580 and bigger PSU, also 2 more Dell U2312 when they next go on sale.

U2312's in portrait is the setup I am aiming for but won't be for a while yet.

ive just about finished the game, but i had so much fun im actually fully planning on taking anther run through.
i gotta say i really love the voice acting too. its pretty solid all around, but the first choice female voice has a really stand out actress.

and as far as widescreen goes, i think this game has less of the wide fov stretch than ive seen in a game yet. even what characters are all the way at the far corner of a side screen they arent "that" much fatter or wider. there is some stretch sure, but its really not drastic at all. Looks amazing

in case anyone didnt notice the latest patch fixed widescreen res cutoffs. no longer need to force the hud, not use the fix i posted.
it just works right and remembers the settings properly.

!WIN!

On sale right now for 17.99GBP for the game + DLC

Supposed to be a really fun game and now with multi-monitor support fixed I say this is a must get for a lot of people.

im half way thought playthrough 2, also doing another playthrough with a friend via co-op mode.

i wish there was a higher level cap, more stuff, and more game. but a couple new DLC packs that add gameplay and another island are on the way ;)

i think i partially love it even more simply because it works so perfectly in 3x1 out of the box

Yeah 3x1 works great, even centered HUD!

I have to play medium for good frames w/ a 5870 CF setup. GPU load in the 50-60% range but I had 50+fps and 99% gpu load before so something got messed up I think.

Recording games drops me to 15fps though so hard to record in eyefinity, playing single screen on Ultra has been fine for recording.
