How did you get a centered HUD in triplehead? Mine is stretching pretty badly.

Absolutely nothing, but it may depend on your aspect ratio. The game seems to like 16:10 and 3x 16:10 best, and in fact, I seem to have overlooked some HUD stretch in 16:9...
Are you playing fullscreen or in a window ? DX9 or DX10 ?

Problem occurs in DX9 and DX10 mode. I've tried both 5040x1050 and bezel corrected 5292x1050, but the HUD still stretches.

Edit: Figured it out. It's a bug in FarCry2.

If your desktop resolution is 5040x1050 before you start the game, it centers everything correctly.
If your desktop resolution is bezel corrected (5292x1050 in my case) before you start the game, it stretches everything.

The game itself can be set to 5292x1050 and still center everything, but your desktop resolution has to be 5040x1050. Seriously annoying, though at least UltraMon can fix it automatically. I suppose chances of a patch from the developers at this point is pretty slim, eh?

This week is Steam Summer Camp Sale. I bought Far Cry 2: Fortune's Edition with a 75% discount and tested it with a resolution of 5760x1080, Matrox TH2Go DH, DX10. The game works out of the box. :cheers
