F1 2012

Profile picture for user AussieTimmeh

F1 2012 is the latest simulation racing game from Codemasters, based around the 2012 Formula One season. Featuring young driver tests and career modes, the game also has improved car dynamics and a new co-operative season mode.

As with all Codemasters racing games, the multimon support is excellent, although for the first time multimon resolutions are slightly Vert- as well. Presumably this slightly zoomed-in camera is to fix some of the graphical anomalies in the earlier ones where some of the car rollover hoop was visible in extreme surround resolutions. You lose around 15% of your vertical view in multimon, when comparing 6000x1080 to 1920x1080.

Solutions & Issues
Widescreen Solution & Issues:

To manually change resolutions, go to Documents/My Games/FormulaOne2012/hardwaresettings/hardware_settings_config.xml and edit the values there. Some resolutions may require fullscreen to be set to false if the game does not accept the values.

Eyefinity / Surround Specific Solution & Issues:

Surround is slightly Vert- compared to single mon resolutions, but overwhelmingly Hor+. You lose 15% of your vertical view in multimon, when comparing 6000x1080 to 1920x1080.
