The Vanishing of Ethan Carter in Surround???

I picked up this new game today and it has some very nice eye candy. Was wondering if anyone has figured out how to make it play in surround? It's based on the unreal engine, so it should be doable. I fooled around with config files, but it seems like it's going to take a .dll fix or something. I dunno. If anyone finds out please reply.
Thanks!

I would very much like to see this game in surround as well. There is already a request thread on the FWS forum.

I would also like a fix for this but for 21:9 monitors. The game currently has black borders on each side.
I am willing to buy a copy of the game to anyone willing to fix this (such as HaYdeN). Just send me a PM with e-mail and I can gift a copy over.

Here is an image on my 29" widescreen monitor of the game:

I just sent copies to Helifax and HaYDeN so who ever has time can hopefully take a look. The game is amazing visually and cool gameplay wise as well.

It's far from perfect, but it will get you started.

Looks to be some issues with HDR (fairly typical, atleast for triple wide) and HUD issues.

Make sure you go to settings>configuration>display detection and override, choosing the correct number of monitors and resolution. I have had issues with the latest AMD drivers and this fixed it for me. Also played around with the texture streaming options in the ini file to reduce the loading lag. Wow just wow, this game looks amazing now.

It was slow and stuttering a bit at first, then I realised it was all the caching, increasing the streaming sizes in the ini helped a lot. It's an unreal 3 game so it's not terribly demanding, running fine on my r290X with everything on max except AA and AF. Just need a healthy amount of video ram to push the 3 screens. I would say a HD7950 should handle it ok, maybe with a few tweaks.
