Solutions & Issues

Baseline (Widescreen) Solution & Issues

Everything is designed for 16:9 so works perfectly when using 16:9 resolutions. Cutscenes and most 2D elements are skewed from 16:9 when playing at other aspect ratios while 3D elements are scaled correctly.

All resolutions are detected and listed in the setup tool. The "Display only recommended resolutions" checkbox limits the resolution choices to 4:3, 5:4, and 16:9 resolutions with 60 Hz refresh rates (uncheck this for other aspect ratios and refresh rates).

This game has no FOV option. A FOV fix is available (increases default 60 degrees FOV to 80 degrees). Screenshots on this report show the default FOV.

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

Uncheck the "Display only recommended resolutions" checkbox in the setup program to see the resolutions. Most 2D elements are stretched from 16:9 (3D elements are scaled correctly).

Eyefinity / Surround Specific Solution & Issues

Entire output is stretched incorrectly including 3D graphics. This behaviour was seen with both 3x4:3 and 3x:16:9 resolutions.
