I was trying to make this game run on 3 monitors for like 4-5 hours, glad I found this topic.

I tried a lot of things but it needs some coding skill magic to make it work. :)

I forgot to mention that there is a demo for this game available on steam.

As usual... asking for a hack is cute, but don't forget to shoot Ubisoft an e-mail and tell them how you feel about forced 16:9, too.

Many tried but they usually ignore such e-mails. I personally hate Ubisoft, yet their Montreal studio team managed to surprise me with this little gem. I know the rayman games work with triple-wide resolutions, this game uses the same engine yet it doesn't work. :(

I actually did fix it last week but it's really one of those games that don't need to be played in surround.

Cool, I would actually like that, even if it's not perfect. Make it an "unofficial" release. :P

Seeing those shots I guess that messing with the fov will brake the game even more, am I right?

I respectfully disagree.
The only good thing in the game are the painted backdrops, and your screenies show just how gorgeous they are in MM...

True, the art design in this game is awesome and kinda calming at the same time combined with the ambient music.

Please share the work you have done sir Hayden. :mrgreen:

Well I lie actually - it seems to work fine, bar the HUD being to the left

But you can fix the HUD being to the left by using display override, specifying a HUD size of 1920 with a offset of 320 (2560 total) - see below, altho I believe there is a bug in 1.0.12 (1.0.13 has a crap ton of bug fixes but needs regression testing) where it may not work.

I copied the settings you posted and it didn't work the first try.

Then i change my resolution on the game to 1080.
it showed the game in 21:9 aspect ratio but not in full screen


then i switch back to 2560 then BOOM! its like magic.


I'm on version 1.00 for those people that might not get the same results


Thank you for making this game easy on the eyes for us 21:9 users :cheers:

Hayden release works for me, but just tried the demo with it and there are some issues witch make it unplayable on triple-screen.

First, some HUD elements are shown on the third screen, no deal-breaker but annoying nonetheless.

But the biggest problem was that the shadow that needs to be used to open the gate was invisible to me, after I switched to 1920*1080 it worked fine.

It is a lovely relaxing game so I am gonna buy it anyway but triple screen would make the game a bit nicer I think. The scenes are just so beautiful.

If you have a weird resolution & FWS Configuration doesn't fix it, you can edit FWS's LUA file. This fixes the game.
