Solutions & Issues

Baseline (Widescreen) Solution & Issues

Screen change in widescreen is actually both Hor+ and Vert-, but as you are able to zoom in the window, it is extremely playable in widescreen.

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

Eyefinity / Surround Specific Solution & Issues

Native, both Hor+ and slightly Vert- as per widescreen. No problem as you can zoom in and out.

FMV when the game first loads does not display in Eyefinity, it is just a black screen with sounds.

To navigate around the map, the primary method is to drag the mouse to the screen edges. Due to the edges of the screen being so wide in Eyefinity, this is a hassle, but you can use the arrow keys to get around this.
