This game is an third person action game with really cool water physics, it supports multi monitor resolutions natively although the support isn't perfect. Once again if your monitors width is larger then 1920 pixels and you have lots of bandwidth, set the quality to original and play the video in full screen for a much higher quality (once its finished processing).

Copy paste of video description:
Hydrophobia: Prophecy on the PC, Original resolution was 5040x1050 aspect ratio of (48:10). If you are running a resolution with a width higher then 1920 (30'' monitor or multi monitor) set quality to original and view in fullscreen.

The video is from game launch, though the first 25 minutes of act two. I've also put my usual annotations about how the game preforms with three screen, my thoughts etc and opinions on the game.

Title typo... Or did you mean Hyd'ohphobia ? :P

Are the HUD issues not too much of a problem ?
The poor game got pretty baaad reviews, but I've played a number of sucky cheap games just to enjoy PhysX effects and whatnot, so I'm quite interested in this one. :)

Its a typo yes, not really, the info screen you don't really need to use, and the two tool and ammo select wheels, the text of the option being selected is still displayed so its workable without, so long as you can put up with the crosshair.

Strange, for me the aspect's all messed up. I'm using SoftTH with 3 monitors, 1920x1200, and two 1024x1280 on the sides. The total res is 3968x1280. For some reason the aspect ratio is 16:9 so everything's streched sideways, and the 2D menus are correct but they are cut off on the top and bottom.

Ah, I see it, it's getting the aspect from the primary display's resolution. Is this possible to fix?
