Widescreen Gaming Forum

I find this interesting. Do we praise this kind of widescreen support? Surely this is almost as lazy as vert-. Granted, it's more desirable but it's still, visually at least vert-, as you're 'physically' losing the top and bottom of your screen, even if you aren't losing any actual FOV.

EDIT : Paddywak ...
This has been split from the Assassin's Creed: Detailed Report to keep the DR on topic.
Some posts referred to both the pixelization issue and the anamorphic bars ...
I did my best to split the topic to reflect the various issues ... sorry if this has affected your posts.

Some of it is artist's discretion. It would appear that they designed it with 16:9 widescreen as the baseline (it was an XBox 360 game first). Making 4:3 anamorphic is not a "bad" decision. Would it be better if they cut the horizontal for the 4:3 folks?

Uh there is actually a huge problem under 1680x1050.

I am experiencing this myself on an 8800GT with a Samsung 226BW.

Hope its fixed soon.

Tanuki's screenies don't seem to have that bug though.

Too bad there's no demo (never ever), I'd love to see how it behaves on my rig (TH2G or not), both quality- and framerate-wise. :cry:
Looks like TH2G owners will need Racer_S's helpful skills again on this one :) (his tool for Condemned works so great !)

This may be a configuration issue, or a video card problem. Are you getting the same thing at other resolutions?

Tanuki,

What is your setup? Can you post pics at 1680x1050? And, how about a pic at 1400x1050? I wonder if it is an issue with not running at 720p, 1080p, or something like that.

In TripleHead it puts black bars on the sides to maintain the 16:9 aspect ratio ...

No, the issue only shows up at the 1680x1050 rez which happens to be my screens native, if I lower it to say 1600x900 its fine; so that is the work around which sucks. Look at the links I posted for examples and what has been tried, basically it seems to be an internal rendering problem with the game.
For now I have taken all scaling off and am running the game at 1600x900.

I don't have this problem at 1680 :? (specs in sig)

Whatever the anomaly is, it's not confined to widescreen. The 720x576 shots that Tanuki posted have it, and that is a 5:4 ratio...

Anyway, I don't really understand what this glitch is all about. I can't see anything wrong with Tanuki's shots.

To be honest I cannot notice it in static shots as well.

It stands out when moving.

I may be tempted to video capture and see if it records the problem when moving.
