Solutions & Issues
Widescreen Solution & Issues:

The because the game game runs the UE3 engine it renders vertical minus, however this version of the engine comes with a really hand ini flag that changes that behaviour. To make the game render horizontal plus:

  1. Open the following folder: steam/steamapps/common/SOLExodusGame/Config/SOLExodusEngine.ini
  2. Find the following line: AspectRatioAxisConstraint=AspectRatio_MaintainXFOV
  3. And change it to: AspectRatioAxisConstraint=AspectRatio_MaintainYFOV

The devs have said that in the next patch they will change the default value of this setting, which will make the game natively horizontal plus.

Eyefinity / Surround Specific Solution & Issues:

As of the games very first patch (patch 1.7) the devs have fixed an issue that forced the need for a clumsy hex edit to get multi-monitor resolutions to work, instead it can now be done via the same .ini file as the aspect ratio fix above. To use a multi-monitor resolution:

  1. Open the following folder: steam/steamapps/common/SOLExodusGame/Config/SOLExodusEngine.ini
  2. Find the following lines: ResX=... and ResY=..., they should be next to each other
  3. And change it to your decided resolution.
