Quick one on this one, will try again with the screenshots as the 16:10 isn't right

In Fullscreen mode couldn't select any 21:9 res when on eyefinity and even in windowed mode couldn't select anything higher than 1920x1080, someone with 21:9 monitor may have better luck.

I hope I've filled everything else out right, shoot me down if wrong! Well not proper shoot more tell me

I do have to say thanks to Julien for coming, saying hi and mentioning the game, it's really surreal and some good puzzples

You did excellent mate. Thanks a lot for this. To get a 16:10 res with Eyefinity, you have to either break you Eyefinity group or boot up with just one monitor plugged in. It's crazy, but that's how they role. I generally choose the one monitor method. That way when I plug the other two in, the Eyefinity group is still there.

Can you also grab screen caps for the cut-scenes and FMVs?

Hi guys, I thought I'd chime in about the FOV thing to explain how the game works.

You correctly deduced the aspect ratio behaviour (at least part of it).
I tried many different things and settled on the following solution:
Between 16:9 and 3x 16:9, the horizontal FOV expands.

Between 16:9 and 4:3, the vertical FOV expands. I wanted to preserve the original game behaviour as I didn't see any reason to change that part.
Essentially, the game is originally designed for 16:9 TVs and 16:10 monitors (which is all we have at work).
4:3 is our backwards compatibility mode for old-ass TVs, and we decided expanding the FOV was the most reasonable way to experience the game on these. Not that you'd want to...

As for the extremes, below 4:3 I go back to contracting the horizontal FOV again so that you don't get a huge vertical FOV, and above 3x 16:9 I start reducing the vertical FOV, as the horizontal FOV would become huge and normal rendering algorithms start breaking down at some point (not to mention the wall clipping and near plane issues). I decided 3x16:9 was a fair max limit to the FOV.

So there's essentially 4 different types of FOV adaptation going on depending on aspect ratio. I settled on this after playing with the window size in windowed mode to cover all possible aspect ratios (you can try and play with it), to be future proof.

If you can think of a better solution, I'll be happy to discuss it with you and make a patch if it does seem like an improvement

We realize that 4:3 really isn't taken into account these days. However, we do want to see more hFOV between 16:10 > 16:9 > 21:9. You could just cut the hFOV in 4:3. If you didn't want to do that, you could make the on 4:3/5:4 resolution with a larger vFOV, while the widescreen aspect ratios follow the fixed vFOV and expanding hFOV. this could be for anything from 15:9 all the way through multi-monitor.

The other thing you could do is make the 16:10 and 4:3 (or just the 4:3) anamorphic in 16:9 widescreen. This would mean that they have the widescreen image formatting with black bars. Think how anamorphic movies work.
