Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 (Demo and Retail)

Hey there WSGF. Don't know if anyone has taken notice, but the demo for Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 does not support resolutions outside of 1920x1200. Suffice it to say, Surround is out of the picture it seems. I'm not entirely sure if the full version will come out with the same issue, but I imagine that it probably will.
I noticed that in My Documents there was a folder for the demo that has the config file. The resolution can be set there, however, it seems that even then the game engine doesn't want to run Surround resolutions.
Hopefully this can be looked at! Cheers.

Yeah, I tested out the demo and hit up David COX about it on tweeter, but he never replied to my queries about MM support. I am hopeful that MM support is in the final product - due to the great support the implemented in the first PC - port of all things. I have run into occasions where the demo was broken, but the final game had support - so we will see.

[Update] I have the full version of the game it does not support multi screen(odd the first one does and is the same engine) you are locked in 1920x1080, apparently if you have a single monitor that supports > 1920 it works?
I think Helifax has the full version? if Helifax or Hayden don't have the game and want to help fix it please drop a reply here and I will hook either of them up for the cause.
I added on the games forum in Steam -> "Add multi screen support 5760x1080 etc" in hopes the devs will fix it as well, but you never know if this will be seen. Please help out and just add a reply with a please add multi screen(or something like that) if you want.
Btw the game is awesome I really like it, already like it way more than the first, feels more like Darksiders and a true vampire game which is really cool.
Thanks

This shits me, no wonder I wasn't getting any love on twitter from the community manager and David Cox. It doesn't make sense, but I know Helifax said the demo was pretty easy to fix - like the ability to have it implemented is already there, but not enabled. So have to see.

I don't know if you know this but the game actually allows you to use any resolution you want. You just have to set it in windows first before starting the game. I myself use 2560x1440 but a .ore convenient fix is also welcome.
Helifax, would you mind taking a look at the FOV. When you're out of combat, the camera REALLY zooms into Dracula and it makes traversing like climbing more painful cause you have to turn the camera around a lot.
The combat fov however is perfect. Could you try and get it to stay like this all the time? Would greatly appreciate it.

Hi Helifax,
Any chance for a fix for Metal Gear? Game is pretty awesome in 3D, but would be much better in 3D vision surround. Also, gotta try your Open GL wrapper with Amnesia. Thanks for your hard work

Well well well, look who decides to show up! Maybe we don't want your fancy fixes around here, maybe we are all happy playing on single screens now that all the fixers are gone!! Wait, come back, I'm sorry...I love you
