Copy paste of video description:
Dragon Age 2 on the PC, Original resolution was 5040x1050, scaled down to 1920x400 to fit on a HD video, aspect ratio remains the same (48:10).

The video is from game launch, all the way though to the end of the first story section, hence its 35 minutes long. I've also put my usual annotations about how the game preforms with three screen, my thoughts etc and opinions on the game.


BTW, I want to get my videos some more exposure, anyone know any good places that its permitted to link to and would be appropriate.

I get a sore neck playing games that move the HUD off to the side-screens.

Not proper support IMO... you need more than just making it HOR+

My annotations will pretty much say that when I get them up at some point tonight.

Aw, you didn't upload the original size? Would've been nice to full screen it (on all 3 monitors) :D

Anyway, don't knock the game too much for not having HUD in the middle guys. If you play the game you'll realize it's unfinished, lots of buggy quests that you can't complete (properly), reuse of levels, etc. It's a wonder they have such good multi-monitor support as it is (only problem is the HUD and loading screens that are Vert-). Given the choice of fixing those issues or adding multi-monitor support I am surprised they made the latter choice at all.

That first comment confused me, it is the original size, I've not tweaked it in any way, and it is fullscreened over all 3 of my 1680x1050 monitors.

None centred HUDs are normally dependent on the game as to how bad it makes it, normally its just a pain, some times its a real problem though.

I can only go up to 1080p on your video..

here's an example of the original size (click on 360p and choose 'Original') video

Arr, there is a simple reason for that, I have nether the internet bandwidth to upload, nor the hard drive space, or a fast enough hard drive to recode 25fps at 5040x1050 at lossless. What I didn't know was that you tube can letter box 1920x400 on its own, help only says it will piller box 4:3 on its own, so next time I'll just upload 1920x400 instead, that said if I did that where would I put my annotations.

In fact looking at that video I would bet its originial size was still uploaded with a 1920 width.
