Widescreen Gaming Forum

wow , now why the hell cant more games be like this.
[THAT MEANS YOU EA]

Just a suggestion - you might want to explain what the "widescreen" option does. Based on the screenshots, to me it looks like it cinematically letterboxes the screen while expanding the horizontal FOV. If this is the case, I would also note that it is not necessary to enable the "widescreen" option if you are already using a widescreen resolution.

I really liked EVE...except its gameplay, I wanted a space simulator type game.

all i saw in the game menu are 1024x768, 1280x1024 and 1600x1200.

how can i get 1920x1200 in the game?

Thanks for your tests Ibrin 8)

One errata , "List of widescreen resolutions that were not tested: None"
I have successfully been running EVE on 3840X1024 resolution for over a year now :wink:
So if you wish add my result to yours or change the untested list to include my res, whatever you deem to be best 8)

The TH2Go resolutions aren't required for certification, and aren't listed as widescreen (as they are THead). I will add that it has been verified.

Thanks for clearing it up 8)
Just so as you know it depends on the Gcard as most 7xxx and better Nvidia cards can do these special resolutions but ATI had lots of problems with it(nothing to do with EVE)

1920 x 480 (triple 640) 60Hz
2400 x 600 (triple 800) 60Hz
3072 x 768 (triple 1024) 75Hz
3840 x 1024 (triple 1280) 60Hz

I have tested the last 2 in EVE :D
If you wish I will try the other 2 in the next few days ?

Update on this, at some point during the release of this review and 6 months+ ago I got my TH2Go EVE got native support for tripleheader resolutions:

5040x1050

Like with X3, can you post comparison shots?

TH Resolutions available natively:

1680x1050


3840x960


5040x1050

Hi,

I play EVE mostly in window mode like many more I think.

I was just wondering if I could somehow make it run in something like 2x 1680*1000 resolution, or 3x 1680*1000 or maybe just 2x/3x 1600*900.

Ohh and btw, I don't have TH2go or Eyefinity, just running 3x 2209WA's of 8800GT and 7600GT combo.

Regards
Oskar

It might be worth noting that EVE Online may have taken a step back in surround support... Upon recently returning to the game after some time, it would appear the game in surround is now Vert-.

Screenshot:


There is no skewing at the sides, and the camera feels very claustrophobic in stations.
Before Shot (Hor+):


Can anyone else confirm this?

I don't have the game, but I have been informed that surround is both hor + and vert -. I would personally like to see 4:3 -> 16:10 -> surround shots. Depending on what happens here, this game may need de-certification.

Its been mentioned here: http://www.widescreengamingforum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=57&t=17565

The game is now vert- on wide screen resolutions however the max zoom when outside of a station is so great it doesn't make allot of visible difference in normal situations, other then the fact what they've have done is fixed the distorting at the edge of the screen.

Example @ 5040x1050:


As I said in the other thread Eve has changed so much since its detailed report was written that it could really use a new one writing.

Unfortunately, the character creation interface is also vert- which pretty much renders it unusable in triplewide

but well, its not like you create a character every day, so just change it to a single monitor resolution, create your char and change back

Yes, i installed the client today after ages i didnt log in and i was disappointed with the zoommed in camera....i used an eyefinity setup at 1920x1200x3.
This sucks big times.

Hello, I played EVE Online for a while now and it no longer supports Multimonitor. The Master Games List needs to be updated.

Here are some screenshots:


1280x1024


1920x1080


5760x1080

Screenshots made on same zoom-level. Only changed resolution.


You could zoom out very far to see something, but it just feels like crap when playing on that resolution.
