==Method==

You described the screen change here. What is the method?


==Singleplayer Anomalies==

These don't sound like they'd affect gameplay. Is that correct?


==Cut Scenes==

Can you provide screenshots here?


==Grading==
(fundamentally depends on the method)

Method is Native (edited)

The anomalies don't affect gameplay at all. The second you click the mouse the popups go away.

I'll see if i can get cut-scene screenshots after my computer finishes encoding all these movies :?

Going back through some old stuff. I tested the demo through 2560x1600.

I re-shot all of the screenshots which Imageshack had delightedly decided to obliterate, plus added ones of the opening cut scenes.

Cranky, could we get a CCE with all of the resolutions tested (per Ibrin's note) with the exception of the triplehead ones?

Also, I would appreciate it if someone would take screenshots of surround resolutions, as SoftTH is apparently incompatible and crashes the game on startup.

I need to have each resolution confirmed individually. Just saying "I tested them all" is an easy way to overlook one.

Also, if SoftTH isn't working, you could use faux-TH resolutions.

Would I not need a monitor that supports a resolution greater than 1440x900 for that though?

Try something like 1440x600. It's not the same AR as TH, but it's wide enough to demonstrate the effects of ultra-width for all intents and purposes I've seen so far.
