The Nexus developers apparently game in Triplehead. In the game's registry settings found here:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMithisNexus - The Jupiter Incident

change the value of Display_TripleHead from 0 to 1 and leave the Display_Width and Display_Height settings equal to one screen's max resolution (for me = 1280x1024).

Nexus will now run beautifully in Triplehead, with the in-game HUD automatically reorganized across 3 screens. The game is Vert-, but the camera's powerful zoom and complete rotational freedom prevent any significant loss in playability. The 2D background starmaps suffer stretch distortion, but I'm looking into the game assets to see if that can be corrected via modding. ;)

Some screens:

1280x1024


3840x1024

Awesome. You should definitely post that in the game's DR thread, too. I love it when the Wiki has all the info on surround support ;)

I got it thru Steam for $10:

Best price around.

I'm barely into the game itself yet, but it's fairly high on my "to play" list.
