Yeah we grok that part. We need to look at how to do that. It isn't as easy as putting a few sentences in our materials somewhere, and there are other things we have to take into consideration. Not business things, but "vision" things (as in where and how do we want to influence the future of visual immersion). I have something in mind for Christmas 2015, and I need to figure out how to get an entire industry there. The future is bigger than you think.


I read something about first holodeck coming out in 2016? :D You also mentioned this a bit in one of your earlier post if I recall. :bowdown

His desire to do this wasn’t born out of pure lunacy, Carrell does have a goal in mind. Within the next 6 years he wants to have a first generation holodeck operational. A first generation holodeck would be composed of a 180 degree hemispherical display with both positionally and phase accurate sound. We’ll also need the pixel pushing power to make it all seem lifelike. That amounts to at least 100 million pixels (7 million pixels for what’s directly in front of you, and the rest for everything else in the scene), or almost 25 times the number of pixels on a single 30” display.

Nobody seems to have noticed, but as of version 1.03 the game has proper TH support.

Here it is running at 3840*1024 with SoftTH



You may need to edit the configuration file, as it didnt seem to properly detect the resolution or the aspect ratio.

...because if you did, someone at Ubisoft needs a spankin'.

Seem to be a fair few problems with this
First time i installed it, it had the correct AR and FOV for 5040x1050, but forced it to one screen, just like Clear Sky sometimes :?

After a reinstall, it booted up the game fine to my maximum resolution available(inc bezel compensation, although i dont use that on my desktop)
But if i try and change my resolution in game, it only brings up 4:3 resolutions, regardless of what AR i choose.

Plus the mouse lag is horrible in this game, i have to use my 360 controller which i dont like..
Pity it can't be pretty much flawless like ACII.

You need to change the FOV & Aspect Ration in the Config file.

Make it read only afterwards, so it doesnt get changed.

Some thing goes wrong, but i dont know the Problem. And i have no idea how to calculate the right MonitorAspect?


3 times 1680*1050 with triplehead2go Digital Windows 7 Pro Nvidea GT260 OC

If i turn on Eyefinity (EyefinityMode=1 or 2) i get realy bad Fps ( 5 fps grr)


Some idea. Sorry for bad english

Your Monitor AR is 48:10 = 4.8 (so 5 should be ok).

Assuming that actual gameplay is as pillarboxed as the menu ;), did you:
-patch the game to v1.03
-set the config file to Read Only
-try modding the config file in C:ProgramDataUbisoft

Have you tried booting up into the game without editing any configs first?
Mine started with the maximum available resolution eventually.

Yeah, SC doesn't entirely enjoy being forced into surround as performance went down the drain for me too. Even worse was that the mouse became rather inconsistent, making aiming a whole feat in itself.

Although, the latter issue may have been SoftTH related and i should probably get myself a hardware solution already.

To be fair this game runs like crap anyway.
With a 5870 and 5040x1050, i was running in the mid 20's.

Im running fine here around 30FPS all maxed AA8xMSAA + AF16x, with one GTX 480 at 5040x1050, the game doesnt support SLI. SC Conviction is a blast on triplehead.

Hey I just tried Splinter Cell Double Agent and it works with NVidia Surround (could not find anyone that had got it to run before), wanted to play it first before I tried Conviction...was quite surprised!
