==Supported resolutions== Which ones were supported natively, and which ones required a .ini edit? Also, why couldn't you test 1280x720? It seemed to work fine for you in Lost Planet and NWN2. ==Singleplayer anomalies== I'm not sure I understand what the graphical glitch here is. Can you explain what's happening that shouldn't? == Grading == Calculated grade: B- Potential grade: B Major unresolved issues: None Minor unresolved issues: *waiting for your response* Summary of widescreen-related flaws: Graphical glitch in shooter minigame Stretched HUD Stretched FMVs Cranky's coverage estimate: 97.5% |

I've updated the report. All of the resolutions listed as working were supported natively. 1280x720 and 1440x900 weren't, so I tried to edit them in the .ini. I posted the result in the report under failed resolutions. The graphical glitch is on the top-left and right sides. There should be water, but instead there is nothing rendered. EDIT: Nevermind, 1280x720 worked and its also available in the options menu, I accidentally set the wrong refresh rate. (-1; dunno how that happened :oops: ) |

==Surround Gaming support== Native. Simply select 16:9 aspect ratio to access SG resolutions in the options menu (or run SGU). Here are some screenshots to compare to the original poster's: SG Ingame (sorry, not the same place/characters...) 
SG Minigame 
Note that you can move your ship to the edges of your display, so you can spot and shoot enemies earlier than in normal resolutions. SG FMV 
SG Cutscene 
==Take it or leave it== [+] The character sheet, quest log, texts and subtitles stretch too, but can still be read easily, which is the most important. [-] There are quite a lot of nice short FMVs throughout the game, their stretching is much more annoying. [-] Maps are mostly corridor-like (even the cities) and everything happens right under your nose. The game is too "narrow" by nature to really benefit from SG, if you will. [-] Hotkey for PowerDeskSE's Bezel Management is NOT functional ingame. (Alt-tabbing to use the hotkey on the desktop then get back into the game works though.) |
