Supports TH2G out of the box, out tomorrow!
Good video demo of it here (watch it till 1:45 at least, nice demo of how wide TH2G is).

I wasnt impressed by Arma1, but was a huge Operation Flashpoint fan and this is getting great reviews despite packing the usual bugs the series seem to ship with:

Basically the only open battlefield simulation game there is, so it better be good!

I have my copy from GoGamer.com and TH2Go works fine right out of the box. Hard ass game though.

Patch 1.02 (badly needed to fix the sea of bugs) totally breaks TripleHead support for me.. anyone else?

A lot of other people have game breaking problems in the new patch, I hope they fix it soon.

Was out in UK/Ireland last Friday and Germany a few weeks before that. I assume the US version will roll in a couple more patches for launch.

Thanks for the info, my copy will be here in some few days, so i think ill skip patch 1.02 till they fix the THG issue you described.

Running the demo here, you can select 5040x1050 in the game menu, but aspect ratio seems to be limited to 12:3 ? :?:

I installed the demo from Steam but its giving me a DX9 graphics error as soon as it tries to load up.

Reluctant to buy the full game incase it suffers the same fate

Edit the cfg file to launch the game at 3840x1024, then you can adjust later in the game menu to 5040x1050.

Well I just updated my GFX drivers and its launching now, just having a bit of trouble getting my desktop back to 5040.

Thanks for the tip Thales100, i will try that once my desktop is working correctly.

I gotta say I only played a few minutes of the demo to check it worked and I really love it!

wouldnt buy (yet).

I own ArmA for a couple of weeks now, but it is a low quality product. Nothing works properly and it still has the same mistakes as ArmA 1.

Maybe it will be good for the SP / coop fraktion, as soon as they fix all bugs, but if you are into PvP, then it just sucks.

Haha I have put a fair few hours on ArmA (using my TrIR4, I wish ALL FPS had that) and I have to say... I didn't even know there was a PvP mode! LOL learn something everyday... I did the SP campaign and big style co-op...

I have it pre-ordered, it'll get here to NZ at some point, hopefully the same time as a few patches ;)

Join the club!

As above, try editing the config file to set a more boring resolution (ie not TH2G). These D3D errors were introduced big time in the latest patch. This will be a great game, some day.

I did the steam demo install. I'm not seeing a cfg file in the install directory though. Anyone have the specific name of the file I need to edit?

Ok... I've got the Steam demo running.... but the dialogue boxes, subtitles, comm menu, and weapon status are on the extreme sides of my left and right monitor.

Is there a way to make the HUD elements appear on the center screen? I've set 3840x1024 and aspect ration to Triplehead.... but no dice.

Thanks!

i patched up to 1.02

i have matrox triplehead 2 go.
dosent work,
i get this error, unable to create graphical engine error when attempting 4320x900 resolution

i had to go back to the preivous powerdesk driver, and last years nvidia drive to play 4320x900, but i would get the errors if i change the defualt video settings...

also the new nvidia driver causes box-y looking objects...being that i have 8Gigs of Ram running....
