Widescreen Gaming Forum

The game is Hor+, which is a good thing, compared to the previous Sims titles... But there doesn't seem to be any way to change the FOV directly, other than in the 'videocamera' mode (UI hidden), but even then the fov gets reset when you bring the UI back up, so that's not of much use.

I find that ...

Setting the FOV using the screen size and viewpoint isn't really ideal, unless you really want to get an out-the-window type view. In most games, this approach will result in extremely narrow zooms.

The idea isn't to match the screen to your eyes though. To get a complete panoramic view that way ...

JC3 appears to work mostly ok in triple-wide resolutions... when it doens't crash with a BSOD just as it finishes loading into the main menu. This happens about 50% of the time for me, but I think this tendency to crash is lessened if the game is started up at a lower resolution, then scaled up ...

Well, I believe I've solved my problem, the fogless edges are gone, and not only that, I found out that I had been missing the pistol, swivel, harpoon and all other crosshairs entirely.... Harpooning got a LOT easier now.

My "fix", if you can call it that, was to replace the game exe with one of ...

Thanks for the A grades! Being a long-time member of WSGF, the least I could do was ensure my own game would run on super wide resolutions as much as possible.

I don't have enough pixels here to test 4k, and my triple head setup is 3840x1024 (15:4), but theoretically at least, I see no reason why ...

Ok, I tried FRAPS, and also got a black screen, so I had to resort to a less 'elegant' method of capturing the screen... well, at least it shows the issue.

This is while not holding the wheel. Nice and smooth fog all across the screen:

Now this ...

I'm running the game here at 3840x1024, using both FW to remove the letterboxing, and Cheat Engine to adjust FOV.

It took some effort to get it set up right, but now it works great. However, I've been trying to find a solution to an issue, and so far haven't seen any mention of it at all in fact ...

Here's my rig:



Here are the specs:
Intel Core i7 920 CPU
6GB Corsair DDR3 PC12800 (1666mhz) RAM
Intel DX58SO MoBo
Geforce 8800GTX 768MB GPU
Seventeam 750W RMS PSU
640GB Seagate Barracuda 7200RPM HD
200GB Maxtor 7200RPM HD

and the peripherals:
Matrox's Triple Head ...

i think a triple head setup is a sound investment even if you're only going to use it for work...

you get so much work space with 3 monitors, that it's nigh on impossible going back after you take the leap... especially for video editing/compositing and other timeline programs, having 3 screens ...

hello...

after years of waiting, i've downloaded the now released Spore demo, which consists of the Creature Editor portion of the game...

obviously, first thing i did was to try and make it go Triple-wide

it does support the resolution, however it is Hor- :(

so i thought i'd ...

ok i've done some more testing... and found some interesting facts...

i managed to play SH4 in triple head by first starting a game in a normal res, saving, then restarting the game in TH2GO res, and loading the saved game...

i then realized that SH4, like it's predecessor, also has a ...

i'm trying to do the exact same thing here (SH4)... and i got it to display at 3Head resolution...

there is another main.cfg file... not in the installation folder :roll:
go to my documentssh4datacfg and it'll be there... that's the config file for your account... the other one is just there ...

thanks guys, i thought i might be missing the obvious, and indeed, i was :)

Cheers

Hello...

i just started playing portal, which is part of the Orange Box pack for HL2...
after checking the master games list here, i found that HL2 supports hor+ widescreen and surround gaming without any problems...

the thing is... surrond gaming needs some unconventional resolutions ...

i'm using 19" LG 1952h LCD screens... they're not cutting edge, but they have thin bezels and the colors look nice...

works great for me

Cheers

here´s one i never thought possible...

i am using Project 64 to play those good old games i miss so much... and even though the emulator can render at any resolution your adapter supports, most games look terribly distorted when using any resolution outside the 4:3 aspect ratio range ...

im running test drive unlimited with a Triple Head 2 Go without any problems at all...

the game accepts all the resolutions your monitor can put out, so you don't need to hack or command-line anything... just choose your resolution in the display options menu

haven't tested it with dual ...

Will the hack tool work on BF2142?

i tried the command line thing but it crashes to desktop even before the menu shows :P

anyways, nice job on BF2 8)
