Thats a shame, i was really excited about this game :(, whats up with Capcom these days, both Lost Planet and Devil May Cry 4 ran flawlessly in Triplehead and now RE5 and Dark Void are unplayable...

Uhhh ya, what he (she?) said. But being a demo, I still have some hope.

The reason is that Dark Voide is not using the same engine as Lost Planet, Devil May Cry 4, Resident Evil 5, Street Fighter 4 (all are using the same excellent engine: MT Framework).
Dark Void uses Unreal 3 engine, which sucks on pc if the developers do not put an extra effort.

Well, RE 5 with the MT Framework still doesnt work on triplescreen, i know its the new version the MT Framework but it seems like they decided to remove the HUD scaling code :(

Dark Void is only Capcom published, it is not developed by them like RE5, Lost Planet and their other awesome PC ports.

That said I find this port to be well done on a single monitor, though the FOV is a little tight. Looking through the ini files I find no FOV entry but I plan to try the Borderlands method at some point since the inis like identical.

Yeah, the Borderlands solution works in this game too... note that you need to hit F11 again after cinematics to reset the FOV.

You can also turn off depth of field and motion blur in the ini file.

Thanks

You don't have to, the solution is accessible from the Master Games List. :wink: Anyway, here goes: http://www.widescreengamingforum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=17937

Note that this only affects the FOV, not the pillarboxing. :!:

Thank you, seems to be the same fix used for Batman AA

Yeah, not really a multi-monitor solution but this is the only Dark Void thread I know of and the FOV is crap in 16:9.

But not anymore!

Post by **scavvenjahh** » 23 Jan 2010, 10:15

Pillarboxing + "over the shoulder" view is what's crap to me, does the FOV really help ? Care to share a screenie ? ;)

StingingVelvet · Post by **StingingVelvet** » 23 Jan 2010, 22:25

Yeah I can post an FOV comparison later. The resolution is in the ini as well, you should try putting a multi-monitor res in and then the FOV hack and see what happens if you haven't already, though I would assume the anamorphic behavior is hard-coded.

Phoenixdancer · Post by **Phoenixdancer** » 28 Jan 2010, 14:01

does this fix make it fill all three screens in eyefinity?

Post by **scavvenjahh** » 28 Jan 2010, 20:37

No, it only affects the FOV: you will see more of the game world between the same stupid black bars. :(

Phoenixdancer · Post by **Phoenixdancer** » 30 Jan 2010, 15:01

sooo No fix to make it 5760x1200?

The res option is there in the options lol But does not actually work
