This fix didn't work for 64bit game executable. Upon launch game hangs and flawless tool gets stuck to "configuring...". 32bit exe works fine but it is limited to low textures so it really is not worth playing that way for me.

Single GTX970 is not enough for tri-screens for smooth experience so I'll finish it on a single screen then. And for a moment I was thinking we finally have enough power in a single card to run tri-screens but I guess I was wrong.

It DOES work.... Somehow... Did you download the 64bit version of flawless?
Oh... And the FPS counter on 64bit is crazy.... 25436 FPS it says.

Could someone maybe post the plugin from his plugincache? Apparently Hayden took the site offline because of the Drupal vulnerability: http://www.wsgf.org/forums/viewtopic.ph ... 98#p154498

Much appreciated!

hey guys. i got to admit, i created this account just to get help...
anyways, I'm trying to play this game on my 21:9 (2560x1080) display and i just can't get it to work. i use the flawless widescreen app. when i try to launch the game with what i assume are the right settings in flawless widescreen, the game starts up but stops right after. not responding anymore, just black screen. so i tried to fiddle around with the config of flawless widescreen. i set a manual display override to my settings, set it on auto, turned surround assupmtion on and off, excluded every detection but amd one after another (i'm on amd) but still no use. on some settings it will start but not fixed, still the same black bars. i assume that the 'not responding' error happens when i have the right set of configurations.

here's a screenshot of what i assume are the right settings, wich lead to not responding:

i hope someone can help me with this.
note: i already tried to get help on the flawless widescreen forum... it doesn't seem to be quite active over there.
note2: when i terminate the process after it isn't responding anymore flawless widescreen still states it is configuring.

Hi guys. I'm testing the plugin "Flawless Widescreen" but not working properly. I imagine that they have updated the game and is no longer compatible with the current version.

Know if Hayden and helifax may look at this. Thank you so much. :thumbup:

Hi,

I've tried using Flawless and it didn't work initially. Then I've discovered: you need to change language to English (and possibly restart game). That's because game window name changes with language, and fix script has a hard-coded name it tries to find.

Hope it helps.

Nice find zlorf ! It's even weirder than that: FWS works with all languages, except Polish Text. It works with Polish Voices, but you need to pick a different language for Text. :eh:
Incidentally the DR will get a major update shortly.

The Redux version (free upgrade for all, and in UE4) supports offically Multi Monitor and "non-standard screen ratios"

Sadly it's not quite as good as it sounds...
- 16:9 anamorphism is gone, yay!
- but max in-game FOV is still too low for Hor+ MM
- you must launch the game through EthanCarter-Win64-Console.exe to bring the console and set the fov manually... everytime you play.
- issues remain: subtitles and contextual help don't scale correctly, visions appear through a stretched "lens"...

New engine so kickass, it lets you use an obsolete fix :lolno:
