Widescreen Gaming Forum

Thanks for the info Hayden.

I will try launching again with manual settings for displays. Though all the other games I've used this with so far seems to work (except Witcher 2 but maybe this will fix that too) but keeping the manual settings on all the time is obviously no harm.

For what it is worth my next set of cards will be AMD for the reasons you stated and many more. Been stuck with drivers the last 12 months that don't allow 120hz on Eyefinity 5760x1080 despite working fine in 2013.

FWS thread is riddled with people having issues with AMD hardware detection, and the problem should be fairly obvious looking at status messages.... the first thing to do is check the status of FWS and confirm that it is correctly detecting your display setup, if you have 3 monitors and it doesn't say it detected 3 monitors... clearly there's an issue... if the resolution is wrong, clearly there's an issue.

AMD Eyefinity API's are awful, Crossfire setups do not get detected in the same way that single cards do, nor is the same information available, and sometimes even single cards fail detection for random reasons.

You can override the display detection like so:



Until the day comes that I get a pair of AMD cards [which is very unlikely] or AMD fix the problem, it will probably remain broken.

Anyone getting the problem with the Army menu - where you select Orcs etc. Once the War Chiefs get introduced into the main story, but menu is stuck in a higher position. I spoke to Hayden about it, but I was wondering if anyone else has come across this?

Hayden's fix:


What it should be like (1920x1080):

I use nvidia surround and can't get the Flawless widescreen fix to work i get
"configure function call for the attacked process fails, retrying in XX seconds...

Last Error:
Could not find the letterboxfix injection point, Middle Earth : SOM may have been updated to a version that is no longer supported.
Try restarting Middle Earth:som or selecting a different version and re-enable the fix.

I tried:
Go into the game files through your My Documents forlder -> WB Games -> Shadow of Mordor
Edit the render.cg file:
Change:
"Render.Setting.AspectRatioLock" "1.000000"
to
"Render.Setting.AspectRatioLock" "0.000000"
Save file and exit.

and reverted it back to 1. neither made flawless widescreen work also changed some in games settings to no avail either

Any news on whether we'll get a fix for the saurons army view issues once warlords are unlocked? Also another problem I encountered is that sometimes during the near death quicktime event I don't see it onscreen and die because there's nothing I can do. I play on 5760x1080

I got this too and had to stop using the fix unfortuantly. I have a feeling this is not something Hayden can do anything about though.
Any thoughts Hayden?

That Hayden guy is super lazy, I doubt he would do anything about it I have asked him, and I'm not sure he sees it as enough of an issue to fix.
