Multi-monitor / Nvidia Surround / Amd Eyefinity - support
Hi,

I've spoken to you on twitter about this, and I was hoping to dive in and have a look at how the games scales @ 5760x1080, but unfortunately the game only offers a max of 1920x1080. I see the values in the registry, but adjusting them doesn't stick, and using apps like Widowed borderless Gaming, don't work either. I've had this drama with Unity engine games, as there isn't usually a regular config to adjust.

I see there are quite a few people requesting resolution unlocks, so hopefully we'll see something soon - been waiting for a long time to play this game, so I can wait a little longer :)

Keep up the good work.

Spoonie

UPDATE: I have a temp fix!

So thanks to another indie game developer (The Fall - http://store.steampowered.com/app/290770/), placing a little tweak in the registry to allow for manual resolution change, I tried implementing that same solution into some other Unity engine games - like this one, and as you can see it worked!!! Game looks fabulous across 3 screens, as I knew it would!

The game is perfect in surround so far - Centred UI/GUI, correct scaling and fov. I'm in love :)

Wow, just popped into the game to see how it looked, and I'm impressed so far. Game is going to be amazing when it's finished AND look great across 3 screens.

Hey, just adding my voice to this thread. I'd really love to see Nvidia Surround support for this game. That's how I play Outlast and it's terrifying.

I also expect that the game is compatible Eyefinity before buying. after the first review of the game in sensational air, I can not wait to play in 5760x1080.

moi aussi, j'attend que le jeu soit compatible eyefinity avant de l'acheter. d'apres les 1er avis le jeu à l'air sensationnel, j'ai hate d'y jouer en 5760x1080.

I guess :P

So you have to edit your registry:

1. Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SKS\TheForest
2. Right click to add a new ' String Value'
3. Name the new String Value Resolution_h2981718891
4. Right click the new value to 'modify'
5. In the value data field put your resolution - mine is 5760,1080 (no space)
6. Also make sure the Screenmanager Is Fullscreen mode_h3981298716 is set to (0) - which means the game is running in window mode - yes this only works in window mode AND you can also set the game to run window mode inside the game before you edit the registry.

EXTRA:
1. Once the game is running in window mode you can use the windowedborderlessGaming app to have the game run in borderless windowed mode :)

enjoy.

Are you saying it didn't work?? If so, you have done something wrong perhaps - are you in windowed mode?
