Mass Effect 3(demo): Lucy, they did it again!

[Tycho Ordo]

I have encountered another problem, which is caused by my rather unique setup.

I have 2 19" 1280*1024 screens and one 22" 1680x1050 screen in the middle. The main screen and the right screen are connected to my 580GTX the left screen is connected to my onboard card.
To span games over all 3 screens I pu them into window mode and set the resolution to 4240x1050(I know a few pixels are off screen at the bottom of the side monitors but that doesn't mater)
To remove the window border and the taskbar and to correctly postion the game on screen I use an AutoHotkey Script

This normally works fine with all games which work at such resolutions( tested it with BF3 SWTOR Skyrim ARMA 2)

The ME3 Demo allows that resolution, but when i star the game it detects my main screens resolution and scales the window down so it fits onto my main screen.(so the game only is on the top halt of my main screen)
Like this:

Anyone got an Idea how I can stop the game from scaling it down to my main monitor? Maybe a way I can trick the game into thinking my screen is actually 4240x1050?

Falcon and anyone else, those menus are exactly the same as surround, but in single player, how did you get past the finale menu that needs you to confirm you character creation? I try pressing enter and Y but nothing works.

You can't. That's the point. Have to go Single-Display to use the menus.

I don't remember having that zoom issue with my Eyefinity setup. I'm not at home right now so I can't check, but I had no problem creating a custom Shepard last night.

Here's a run-through of the first mission, 3x1080p:

OMG, all hail, THANK YOU SO MUCH, Any way you can do the same for ME2 and ME1, I know plenty have tried and failed, im sure the implementation would be similar as the games run on the same engine!!!

For Me2 I already made a fix (still imperfect, but is the only one and Me2 is totally dif than ME1 and Me3). You can find it on this website;))

Glad that you like;))

[helifax]

Fix can be downloaded from: http://www.widescreenfixer.org/

BIG THANKS for DOPEFISH for implementing this!!!! (I am a slacker at implementing the fixes using his latest framework) :))

Please let us know how it works out;))

Best Regards,

It... works... in some way:

[OzHuski]

Will this fix screw up Eyefinity setups? Tempted to give it a try and see if I like it with the centered HUD but everything else is perfect already. Anyone tried it?

[valcan_s]

OMG! awesome, I will try this fix out after work, thanks for da efforts m/

Update : Works perfectly, ace job guys :) can not wait for March to play the real deal in mulit it will be rad.

[CY:G]

Awesome, downloading it know.

Just tested it and it does nothing, Fixer says the game is running and fix enabled, but the HUD is still wrong :(

Hey I see you guys have SVN logs in the WidescreenFixer page now, how would i go about checking out the latest revision of the source to try to contribute to the codebase?

[Kayden]

Thanks guys, much appreciated!

It... works... in some way:

Falcon1 just enable it when you get to that part of the menu, sure the press any key graphic will look like crap but the menu wont screw up if you do it there, what I had to do.

[nethaniah]

Does anyone know how to change/fix the FoV? Seems rather low atm, especially if you play a race other than human.

[Falcon1]

It doesn't matter when I press the Hotkey button for the fix to activate. During developer cinematic, at the "Press button" screen or even later. All options disappear in the menu.

[Toothless Spoon]

Helifax you are a beautiful man...You and Dopefish are going to send me broke, but I'll give both of you cats some money, you deserve it. Keep up the great work...oh and maybe a FOV adjustment would be nice :P

[Falcon1]

Erm, okay. I actually found out that the game itself supports unstretched menus... just don't use Bezel Compensation!

[helifax]

I am glad that you managed to make it work :) The fix works for all the menus etc, EXCEPT for the main menu which is rendered HOR+ by default. I didn't find a place where it doesn't work. :) The part that you need to enable the FIX in the main menu and not before it is written in the description! ;))

I will look into the ability to update the FOV in the future also:)
