Solutions & Issues
Widescreen Solution & Issues:

Native "Vert+" support.

  • Cut-scenes are anamorphic.
  • FMVs can be swapped for real-time rendered cinematics in Options, Visual; screen change remains 16:9 anamorphic in both cases.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OPTIONAL FOV Fix via CheatEngine - see Attachment Bombshell - FOV - Numpad + or -.zip - Press Numpad + or - in Game. files available from the PC Gaming Wiki Community Files (search there).

Ultra/Super-Wide Specific Solution & Issues:

Native Vert- support. The slight loss in Vert FOV is arguably preferable to the modified perspective and overcompensated FOV resulting from the Multi-monitor solution.

  • Selection wheels scale slightly to the right but they respond to mouse input normally.
  • Fullscreen map layout scales to the right.
  • Minimap is invisible by default. To fix it, you must select a standard/widescreen resolution, apply, then revert to your UWS resolution.
Eyefinity / Surround Specific Solution & Issues:

Limited support: POV & UI issues.

%USERPROFILE%\Documents\my games\Bombshell\ShellGame\Config\ShellEngine.ini

Look for...
AspectRatioAxisConstraint=AspectRatio_MaintainXFOV
Replace with...
AspectRatioAxisConstraint=AspectRatio_MaintainYFOV

Gameplay is now Hor+/Vert+; use in-game "zoom" to make it less Vert+.
However since camera zoom is in fact a dolly, the point of view and perspective are never identical to widescreen. Camera zoom is also momentarily locked in numerous areas of each level. As a result the FOV is "too Hor+" more often than not.

UI issues:

  • Weapon and Ability selection wheels scale to the right monitor. Mouse input is broken: it is impossible to select anything but the leftmost slots.
  • Weapons can be switched using the number keys and next/previous weapon commands.
    Abilities however can only be switched through the wheel. You're stuck with the default Ability unless you use a controller.

  • Fullscreen map layout scales to the right monitor.
  • Character and merchant menus (displayed on in-game monitors) are zoomed out thus harder to read. Horizontal mouse movement is slowed down (on these menus only).
  • Minimap is invisible by default. To fix it, you must select a standard/widescreen resolution, apply, then revert to your multi-mon resolution.
4K UHD Specific Solution & Issues:

Native support.
