The original loading screens consist of 1080p images, which get covered by claw-shaped architectural elements in game :

16:9



These pictures stretch in Surround while the "claws" move to the outer edges of the display.

3x 16:10



And here's what you'll get with my fixed screens : no biggie, just centered bliss thanks to in-file pillarboxing. 8)

3x 16:10



I didn't resize the original 1920x1080 pictures at any time, so each fixed screen is 5184x1080. They should thus look their best at both 5040x1050 and 5760x1200.

Original Screens folder : 15 MB
New Screens : 45 MB (zipped download : 10 MB)
Full game install : 3.8 GB !

(I'd *love* to apply that technique to videos in games : create a big fat replacement file with lots of black to counter stretching. I don't know which software could be used to make this an automated process. If you have any hints, please contact me !)
