Solutions & Anomalies

Solution

Native support.
(Flawlessws doesn't remove the letterboxing in widescreen, it's only useful for Multi-monitor.)

Eyefinity / Surround Specific Solution

Use HaYDeN's Flawless Widescreen to fix the aspect and FOV.
Be aware that you first need a modified game .exe for the tool to work.
Modifying the game resolution from flawlessws doesn't work for me, so here's a detailed step-by-step guide:

Switch to a single-screen resolution.
Launch the game and select your usual multi-monitor resolution from the Configuration menu.
Upon confirmation the display will be cut-off and distorted; you must first select Yes (right + Enter) in the dialog box then navigate to the other Confirm button at the bottom (up + up + Enter). Exit the game.
Set your desktop back to your favorite multi-mon resolution.
Run flawlessws. Make sure the following boxes are ticked:

Enabled
FOV Fixes
Aspect Fix

Run the game.

If you ever want to play on a single screen again, first change the resolution from the in-game Configuration menu, exit Alice MR and close flawlessws, then change your desktop res and run the game.

The default fixed FOV is for TripleWide; classic TripleHead will be Vert+ compared to TripleWide unless FOV Boost is set to -15.

3D Solution

Single player anomalies

Multi-mon:

Sometimes the fix is not immediately active during/after some cut-scenes, just proceed a bit further into the game and it should kick in enventually.
A few playable sequences (Chapter 3 scrolls) are always Vert- and FOV Boost is inactive, so playing at a single-screen resolution may be needed to complete them.

Multiplayer anomalies

No MP.
