Anyone else having issues with Dragon Age at 5760x1200? The game runs beautifully, however, in-game cutscenes and movies just don't seem to show up. This is a problem :(

Mod edit:
Issue with Dragon age is confirmed fixed with patch 1.01b or later.

Looks like Dragon Age doesn't like 3600x1920 either. Most of the game seems to display fine but I can only see the top one or two dialogue options. I found it kind of strange that I sometimes got only 1 dialogue option until I started pressing other numbers. Needless to say, it's hard to play an RPG when you're missing out on all the dialogue choices.

Bugger the same as the Witcher, works fine in game at TH but fails in cutscenes etc. Skipping through them lost a lot of the story!

I am going to cancel my pre0order until this gets sorted, so thanks for the heads up :)

Same thing.

In portrait mode (3150x1680 for me) the cutscenes show, but the dialog selection cannot be seen - which makes the game unplayable unless you always agree with selection 1 (you won't, trust me if you haven't played).

In landscape mode (5040x1050 for me) the cutscenes don't show at all, however I occasionally would get some purple, green and blue artifacts.

I've tried playing around with the "Disable Aspect-Ratio Correction" button on both with no effect; however this must be checked though when I'm playing at 1680x1050 ( :( single tear :( ) or else everything is squished up terribly.

It's sad too, because in-game it all works beautifully. They should fix it rather quickly with the popularity of this game though, I would hope. But I still want it now...

I'm going to try and post on their official forum to see if I can get a BioWare dev to notice this because the game looks and runs beatifully on my PC at 5040x1050 (TH2Go, not EyeFinity), but the cutscenes are missing.

Well it has been posted so I missed my cancel opportunity LOL, so I best help. Post a link to your thread and we can all join in.

It's not just the cutscenes. Anytime you talk to an NPC or have a conversation it also goes all black, so it's far worse than just missing a bit of story.

If you do this post a link.. I've searched for eyefinity and triplehead on there and couldn't find any recent posts.

Can't believe there was a thread here.. I made one in http://www.widescreengamingforum.com/forum/1071 Maybe they can be merged?

Why are there game threads in here anyway? I thought they should all be in "Multi-monitor" gaming and this is a discussion of the EyeFinity hardware/drivers only.

I submitted a help request and talked to a live support rep on their support website, but I'm not expecting too much LOL.

FYI - We are expecting a patch for improved Eyefinity support soon. I'll keep you posted when I know more! :)

Cool, but by then we'll probably all have beaten the game at least once :(. And everyone knows MW2 is coming out next week :P

Nice! I've had my Eyefinity setup for a few weeks now and I can't get enough of it. Great to hear some improvements are in the pipeline!

Dave i know this regarding dragon age but any chance of requesting a patch for borderlands as well i know most of the guys here are looking for this suuport in the game i know i am for one.

Me too, I loaded up the game, set it to 5760x1200res, and was unplayable, could not even see the menu fully to exit the game. I deleted from harddrive until a fix is in for Eyefinity support.

There is a Borderlands thread already, if you read it you would know Borderlands is actually playable with EyeFinity, just make a bind to the FOV.. trust me having smaller FOV when zooming in or driving around is not as big of a deal as having a black screen when you go into a Dragon Age conversation. I beat Borderlands and there were no blocking issues.

Here is the thread I opened on their official site:

I am aware of that thread regarding the FOV changes however it should be that all games start to work natively with eyefinity so would rather an offical patch comes out to support this given the other UE3 games have no problems with eyefinity inculding the new batman game i didnt want to hijack the thread but dave had already replied anout there being a patch for dragon age so wondered if they could contact gearbox to get an offical patch surely you guys would rather have an offical patch where it works properly rather than having to use FOV changes in the ini file depending on what you are doing.

Runic games got it right with torchlight and that was a brand new games that has just come out as well.

You should edit your title to mention that conversations are missing.. missing cutscenes are probably one of the lowest priorities ever to meet a patch criteria.

NEW PATCH RELEASED! Wow that was quick, I can't wait to try this when I get home from work.

The patch works great for dialog and cutscenes. You can find it here: http://social.bioware.com/game_patches.php

Only problem now is you can't move the hotbar to the center monitor in-game. Dunno if there's a way to fix this another way, but it's really annoying having the hotbar on the far left monitor. Sure, you can drag it over, but then you lose the hotkeys(eg, 1-9) and are limited to clicking on spells.

Wow that really was quick.

Ive only played for about 30 mins so far on a single screen and I was already having withdrawl symptoms from the usual 3!

Kudos to Bioware for fixing this so quickly.
