Hi all, The classic Amiga game Alien Breed has been remade after 18 years and is available on steam with -10% preorder and as a demo. I have tested the demo on my triplehead2go using 3 x 22" monitors and was suprised to see the menu loaded up perfectly in 5040 x 1050. However once inside the actual game the camera angle and fov mean you can only see a short distance in front. screenshot of 5040 x 1050

When the game loads it states its using the Unreal 3 engine. I found a few cfg files hiding in the games steam install directory but am unsure what to edit. I think the issue is further complicated due to the angled top down camera view. Oh and couldnt resist posting an image of the original Amiga Alien Breed for nostalgia purposes :rockout
The demo can be downloaded from steam http://store.steampowered.com/app/22610 Appreciate your help finding a solution as blasting aliens is much more fun over three screens 8) |

I tried for another hour with fov settings and camera settings but didnt seem to make any difference. I also found there are CFG files which are copied in an Alien Breed Episode 1 folder in My Documents/My Games/. I have since given up at trying myself so have posted a message on the developers forum (Team 17) regarding support for Triplehead and Eyefinity. Just waiting for a moderator to approve it so it becomes visible over there. I also plugged the WSGF site to try and add a little weight :) |

Feel free to create a thread in Lobbying Central with a link to your post on the Team17 forum when it's visible. Oddly enough, the camera angle is slightly different in non-widescreen ARs, so you actually see a wee bit more on the sides in 16:10 and 16:9 compared to 4:3 - but only the different perspective causes this: the HFOV is the same, the VFOV is narrower. 5:4
4:3
16:10
16:9
48:10
And now for some tallscreen lovin'... 10:16
10:48
