Hello,

i've got a bit of an annoyance to report. it seems that the latest AC game does indeed support nvidia surround, but i when using three 16:10 monitors, the game displays black bars at the top and bottom of the screen. The black bars also span out through all three monitors. Does anyone know how to change this on the Assassin creed engine?

thanks in advance.

All AC games have always been 16:9 only, so you get black bars when using 16:10 aspect ratio. Pretty sure nothing can be done about that.

actually, all the AC games have never given me black bars on surround, with three 16:10 monitors. sure, when i went to single monitor it would, but the moment i went to 5760x1200 the black bars went away.

Really, that's weird. I would aspect the aspect ratio to remain the same when going from a single monitor to triple wide. Maybe someone else can shed some light on this issue.

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.

Wow, you have this early :P Hey can you tell me if the gun reticle thing has been fixed? In ACIII when you went to fine aim you actually had to aim like 3-4 inches to the left of the target to hit it :/

My pinterest focus in 21:9 support (wich Im pretty sure it wont work) and, must of all, in FoV tweaking.

I can get used to play 16:9 with black bars, but in AC3 FoV was locked, and there was no possibility to widen it ¬¬

Let's see if the shit is the same, or what

is anyone here proficient at hex editing? i had the idea that maybe there's something inside the executable that can be edited via hex editor that might force the aspect to 16:9 even on 16:10 resolutions, like the other assassin creeds do.
