Solutions & Issues

Baseline (Widescreen) Solution & Issues

Native Hor+ support with a number of cosmetic flaws.

Backdrop art on menus and loading screens is formatted for 16:9. It may be either squished or cut-off in lower aspects.
FMVs are squished in aspects lower than 16:9.
Tactical Map (battle) is Hor+ but Strategic Overview (campaign map) is Vert-.

Ultra/Super-Wide (21:9/32:9) Specific Solution & Issues

Native Hor+ support.

Backdrop art on 2D screens is either stretched or slightly cut-off.
FMVs stretch.
Strategic Overview is Vert-.

Eyefinity / Surround Specific Solution & Issues

Tested with Nvidia Surround - support for AMD Eyefinity display groups is supposedly better (centered UI, FMVs ?).

Native Hor+ support with spanned HUD.
