Hey Guys!

I am really eager to play this game but first would like someone to confirm:
Is it possible to run it @ 5760 x 1080, and as soon as you get a definitive answer,
please post here ASAP!

P.S. Sorry I already created a simliliar thread, but this one is different,
because of its' more urgent nature, so someone can test if there is some fix
that makes it run @ 5760 x 1080.

The beta ran ok..

Well TH/Eyefinity will definitely not work online, even if its possible you will get banned pretty quickly.
In the beta nothing greater than 16:9 worked for me, although i didnt try any config edits.

I tried playing it with my 3x1 portrait, but for some reason, it will only do 12x9, which is a weird resolution. Eventually it froze on me.


Is there any way to custom res it to 3600x1920 for the campaign?

Ok, the way to "do" 3x1 portrait is to have it in a full screen window. You are going to want to turn your background black, hide your start bar, and move your icons, but it does give a nice 3x1 portrait view.

That said...

This game does not hold up well to close inspection. My siege tanks looked horrendously fat and everything except for infantry looked wrong.

5040x2100
Cant set it in options, just need modify file @ documents/stracraftII/variables

Dont have key yet but I hope get it next week

I make first run game (i am not change antyhing) and games was open in 1680x1050 (clone mode) on six screens

I quit from game and open documents/starcraftII directory and edited veriables file

height was 1050 I change @ 2100
width was 1680 I change @ 5040

and games run from first shot ;)

Anyone got it working for 5040x1680 using TH2G?
Editing the variables file could not work for me.

Same zoom level though huh?

wow that looks v good!

will that work with 3 screens?

i got 3 19 inch in eyefinity

currently using them in portrate mode in sc2, but would much rather be able to play it in landscape

I think it doesn't work with TH2G

i wonder if the zoom hack would work for single player

Nice! Now we need 3 x 1 landscape mode pls.

I've tested it, the custom resolutions dont seem to stick if you modify the config file, but if you modify the addresses holding the resolution and cycle the app it will kick into life, seems you can change the width/height of HUD, left/right/top/bottom positioning and modify the scale, but hor and vert FOV / aspect ratio is alluding me.. I really only care about modifying FOV for the cutscenes and out of battlefeild gameplay.

Let me know if you find em, I guess I can package it in a wee app similar to the bioshock one.

Great Job Hayden! :bowdown
Does it work in Multiplayer in tri - moniter mode?

If it does then I'm running to gamestop and buying it right now lol.
Cos online mode is the only reason to get the game, cos I heard single player sucks and the graphics are meh.

Wow that looks really promising so far.
I hope the FOV fixing won't be too hard to do. :? But since the HUD is scattered everywhere like in all RTS games it won't be too much of a help especially in mutliplayer it should be a disadvantage.

HUD placement is entirely fixable, not too hard to get it all on the main middle monitor, and the ingame FOV is not actaully too bad really, can also extend the video area down to the cropped area below the HUD... i dont have alot of time to spend on it right now but its certinally doable

I can see the struct for the camera but I cant find the locations for the values...

And yes it works in multiplayer - ive played a few times, didnt do anything strange.

Have we any guesses on what the starting value for the hor/ver FOV might be based on other blizzard games? im guessing its locked so it will really be difficult to find.

Hey can you post the tutorial how to do it?
Cos it's hard to tell what your doing from that blurry video.
Will it also work with nVidia surround?
