I can confirm that Surround is working, however there are black bars on top and bottom of my three screens. This is running nVidia Surround with three 16:10 monitors.

Interestingly enough, I didn't get the black bars in Assassin's Creed 2, Brotherhood, Revelations, or 3.

Here's a picture of AC3 in 5760x1200, no black bars :( :

Here is what I don't understand, if you guys can get all that widescreen goodness, all that extra image on the side. Why the hell doesn't ubisoft allow us 21:9 gamers to get a tiny bit more? Why force us on 16:9 with black bars on each side when the game is already built to support a wider FOV...

Exactly! And not only Aassassin's creed lacks of this...

Other games too, multi-monitor support FTW, but no 21:9 ¿?

I'm glad it has native Surround support, I'm running it (barely) at 7680x1440 16:9 and it works perfectly. Maxxed out, it only runs about 10 FPS slower than III while looking leagues better. The only issue I'm having is that I can't take screenshots, they all turn out completely black, I had the same issue with Sleeping Dogs and was never able to fix it.

EDIT: I fixed it, the problem is the SLI profile for the game, found an obscure thread regarding the issue in sleeping dogs and the solution works on this too if anyone has the same issue. You have to use NVIDIA Inspector and go to the black flag SLI profile, scroll to the bottom of the page, the first setting in the Undefined category whose value will be 0x00000008 and game names in brackets next to it, click the arrow to expand the list, scroll down to 0x00000020 and select it, apply changes. Turns out I could have had my Sleeping Dogs screenshots after all, ah well.


does this increase the fps? if so, how much?


It does actually, I didn't go all the way to gameplay before I posted, so if you're already struggling to run it then don't bother, I had to revert the fix because it cut my fps in half. I figure I'll just go back in and take some after I've finished the game, it sucks but what can you do.

I remember long ago, a member named Dopefish made a fix for the first Assassin's Creed that got rid of the black bar issue for pretty much any monitor setup.

Hopefully someone like Hayden or Helifax can take a look at it!

So there's no hope of getting 21:9 support in Ubisoft games? Personally it wouldn't be too much of a loss to me, since i'm not really that interested, but i did get them for free (splinter cell+AC4) with my 780. Meh

I'm running a 3 5:4 monitor setup and it's downright impossible to play the game. And that's not even talking about how bad the framerate is (no matter what I set in the options).
The top and bottom black bars are ENORMOUS. Have a screenshot from the menu:

The reason the framerate is locked at 30fps when using vsync (and running at 59 fps or lower), has to do with triple buffering not being active. Follow the steps to get triple buffering to work using the following link: http://pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Assassin%2 ... Black_Flag It might help some of you guys a little when experiencing choppy gameplay.

I downloaded the latest nVidia drivers (331.85) and that definitely boasted my FPS to a constant 50-60.

On the note of the black bars: I believe Hayden already mentioned that he doesn't own the game, and someone will need to contribute by donating him a copy if there is be a fix for this.
