Resident Evil 5 in 2d surround

Anybody get it to work in surround ? Been trying for months,went from 2 to 3 cards,different drivers w/same results. If I use haydens patch it corrects menus & "some" gameplay (w/o cutscenes). As soon as a cutscene comes all heck breaks loose ! Flashing screens,sound cutting on & off then no video. Sometimes I can get by the cutscene but then the video looks corrupted (water & torches flashing). Woul really like to play in surround.

According to this report http://widescreengamingforum.com/dr/resident-evil-5 the game should run in surround no problem, with the addtion of the "flawless widescreen" tool to fix the hud.
Have you checked this report?

Unfortunately I dont know why this may cause flickering for you.

Yes, i have the same cut scenes issues, try to disable AA, i havent tested it but according to khanitez it should "fix" it.

Not running aa or motion blur,tried w/all settings turned down (looks ugly as heck),w/same results. I'm also using the beta of Flawless (latest one). Now the game is showing all my saves are corrupted - AARGH !

well I managed to save my corrupted save file (win7 file backup),but it's still a no -go ! I think i'm going to give up on it until nvidia gets off their butts & writes some decent drivers that will support surround !

Ok,here's an update. For grins I went back in config & changed sli to on-is set off & then turned shadows back to high w/same results. Then out of sheer fustration I turned vsync back off & cranked aa to the max & glory bee it now works ! Don't know why but it apparantly needed all the eye candy on ! I did back the aa down one notch 'cause the water looked like crap. Now maybe I can play the whole thing in surround.

The game itself runs fine except when you go into water for treasures-lines form across screen in the water,not a biggie. The only other issue is when you have an interactive cut scene,like when your dodging the motorcycles. You cannot see which keys to press to dodge. Still has a fov issue there. But the game looks amazing in surround !
