Solutions & Issues
Native support. You can also edit "Video" at C:\Users\...\Documents\DeadIsland\out\Settings, using Notepad, and set the resolution, if its not listed in the game menu (i.e. for 1440x900) :
Resolution(1440,900)
Only problem screwing this game from working properly in 21:9 is the Menu stretching behavior which makes the buttons on top and bottom inaccessible. I made a fix that resizes the Menu and HUD by editing the eyefinity fix from garden. Works with latest version on Steam (v1.3.0):
Fix available from the PC Gaming Wiki Community Files (search there).
The fix is optimized to work with a resolution of 2560x1080
There are some minor bugs in main menu, loading screens, radar content, little distorsion in selectwheel,... but still well playable.
HUD and crosshair scale according to the aspect ratio - the wider, the larger. Menus are Vert-, consequently some options cant be accessed using the mouse cursor, at multi-mon resolutions. But you can fix these 2D elements by using the solution described at [i]Multi-Monitor Specific Solution[/i] below...
Thanks to Garden for this multi-monitor HUD and Menu solution...
Fix available from the PC Gaming Wiki Community Files (search there). And extract the "Data" folder into the "out" folder in the following path: "Documents \ DeadIsland \ out"
Then just start the game and be happy. Works perfectly in 5040x1050, unfortunately I did not test other resolutions, but I believe it should work.
