Widescreen Gaming Forum

From everything I have heard about this game it sounds great. Rendering the whole game upside-down in eyefinity seems like a really sloppy move. Weird.

Has anybody heard anything if the developers will fix this rendering upside down issue in eyefinity?

A few things, first before luanching you need to set XComInput.ini to (read only) of its over writen. Second this still dones not solve the interface problems, I had come across just after release, that I posted, and reason never reposted FOV fix, as to many nusensess

I still hope some one, one day will find the fix for this, till then I will continue to run single

No, the edits are done in the user config inis, not the files in the install folder. You don't have to make them read-only.

The solution is not perfect and I too hope there'll be a *real fix* someday - but as I'm nearing the end of my first playthrough in Surround, I see no reason to go back to single-screen for my future Classic/Ironman endeavors.
A low Edge Scrolling speed, a steady hand and a little patience sure help.

I was wondering if you could help me with an issue I had on Xcom! I made the edits on the Xcom page from http://www.wsgf.org/dr/xcom-enemy-unknown/en so the game would play in surround on 3 30" monitors.

The problem is during interceptor battles I am never able to push the buttons down for Aim / dodge / abort, etc in surround gaming. I have issues clicking the mouse button on the Interceptor buttons. (Aim / Dodge, etc), I think its a fov / placement issue. Is there any fix?


See the attached photo I have the resolution at 7680 x 1600 and 8055 x 1600 no matter which fov I use I can only push enter to close out some windows. Does anyone know the solution?

If there was a hotkey it would be made so much easier.


Eyefinity / Surround Specific Solution & Issues
Launch the game once to generate all config files, then open %USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\XCOM - Enemy Unknown\XComGame\Config\

XComCamera.ini
[Engine.Camera]
DefaultAspectRatio=1.778
bConstrainAspectRatio=True
ConstrainedAspectRatio=5.333 //your desired width by height ratio

XComInput.ini
Under [Engine.PlayerInput] ADD the following lines:
Bindings=(Name="T",Command="FOV 140")
Bindings=(Name="B",Command="FOV 110")

i went ahead and deleted the 2 .ini files and loaded up in 2560 x 1600. This solved the problem, but why would I have to do it this way? Is the Surround broken in the game?

My file says (remember 7680 x 1600 with Bezel correction is 855 x1600
XcomCamera.ini
[Engine.Camera]
DefaultAspectRatio=1.778
bConstrainAspectRatio=true
ConstrainedAspectRatio=5.333

[IniVersion]
0=1370563209.000000

Xcominput.ini
[Engine.PlayerInput]
Bindings=(Name="T",Command="FOV 140")
Bindings=(Name="B",Command="FOV 110")

Bindings=(Name="T", Command="FOV 130 | T_Key_Press | onrelease T_Key_Release", bPrimaryBinding=True)

Well, that's why the full DR reads "Limited Multi-Mon Support": the solution provided works (I have completed several playthroughs in Surround myself), but is not without flaws. This is not a FOV issue, but a matter of UI and actual buttons being misaligned in wider-than-widescreen resolutions. Ask Firaxis how they screwed up MM support so bad !

With a little practice you may actually click all buttons during interceptions: imagine a tiny 16:9 "bullseye" at the center of your screen. Move your mouse cursor veeeery slowly around the lower part of it and you should "find" the buttons. Of course, the higher your resolution, the tinier this invisible rectangle so... I wish you good luck, a keen eye and a steady hand

DLC Enemy Within has its own config files (much like a separate game) so you'd have to edit these, too.
Sadly it seems in-mission cut-scenes are breaking the fix in Enemy Within: after aliens have been spotted, gameplay suddenly turns Vert- and the FOV key doesn't work anymore

Edit: save, quit to main menu, load, and the fix is back on its feet. Hmmmmm.
