I just picked up Bastion. So far it looks like it has problems with triple-wide resolutions and multiple monitors. When I start Bastion in Eyefinity at 5760x1080, all I get is a black screen with the title music playing. When I tried starting it at 1920x1080 with all three monitors enabled but not spanned, I got a BSoD. I haven't found any config files yet. When reverting to only one monitor running 1920x1080, the game looks fantastic.

An update was released today for this game, including windowed mode support and a way to force it to run at a specific resolution, maybe this can help.

To set Launch Options in Steam, right-click on Bastion in your game library, select Properties, then select Set Launch Options.

NOTE: Please be advised that these settings are recommended for advanced users and may adversely affect your game experience.

The parameters are:
-isomovement

Using the default Slinger-style WASD controls, diagonal movements will more closely adhere to the isometric perspective. We would appreciate your feedback about this change via our Steam forum (linked below).

-windowed

Forces the game to start in windowed mode.

-x [value]

Forces the game to a specific X resolution.

-y [value]

Forces the game to a specific Y resolution.

Example: to run the game in 1280x720 (720p) resolution: "-windowed -x 1280 -y 720"

Just tried with the demo, no joy. Tried the -x and -y, and tried with/without -windowed and -noborder, all give the same result - black screen with menu music/sfx playing. The demo's definitely been updated with these options as well, as the -windowed and -noborder options had their documented effects, just didn't fix the blank screen issue.

Well this update should do the trick.

Added support for resolutions greater than 1920x1080, at which visual issues with the background visuals could occur.

Edit: Tried, no luck. :( It refuses to go wider than 16:9, you can only stretch it to fit three screens in windowed mode.
