21:9 Aspect Ratio monitor support please

[AWPC]

Please devs can you confirm 21:9 aspect ratio monitor support for those of us with Ultra Wide displays.

Thank you

You are in minority of the minority of the minority. Don't expect ultra rare features. 21:9 is nothing common.

Well... yes and no. Although single 21:9 aspect monitors are still rare, triple monitor rigs are not. Allowing automatic aspect ratio and centered HUDs is all that is needed to make them compatible. This game seems all about immersion.... so I too hope for this.

Same with 3DVsion. Yes, not a majority of gamers. But a dedicated group that really pushes games that work with the tech. Playing some of the horror games in 3D has been an amazing, and terrifying, experience. Again, making it compatible from a dev side is pretty straight forward.

@The Astronauts please do not listen to the trolls its a legit question more & more high end PC gamers like me are buying large 21:9 ultra wide monitors to replace triple monitor rigs. All you need to do technically is allow the FOV to scale correctly with the aspect ratio+resolution.

2560x1080 & 3440x1440 are the 2 most popular Ultra Wide 21:9 resolutions. Unreal Engine 3 supports 21:9 it can be manually modded via ini files (unless you encrypt them-please do not do that like you did on Gears of War 1 PC!!).

Please can you also ensure that Ethan Carter is not hard coded for 16:9 aspect ratio with pillowboxing on 21:9 or 16:10 monitors as that ruins immersion.

I just pre-ordered the game & have a 21:9 display so if you need someone to test please let me know!

27" & extra FPS you can never appreciate don't make me laugh that's not high end THIS is true high end right now until they make a 4K version. 21:9 is the future of PC gaming:

While we have nothing against Ultra Wide -- on the contrary -- we simply don't even have an access to such monitor to check out how the game behaves. So the truth is: we don't know. We'll keep looking into the problem, but no guarantees for the release.

Hi Adrian, Thanks for responding. It should be pretty easy to do all you have to allow is for the game to scale FOV to resolution when generating the aspect ratio
view & not hard code it to have black borders if not a 16:9 aspect ratio. Rocksteady used Unreal Engine 3 on the Batman Arkham games they have perfect 21:9 support so it should be easy to do if it does not already support 21:9. Your own game Bulletstorm can run in 21:9 (via mods) so I hope Ethan Carter can as it looks amazing!

I can test for you when the game launches or if you have a test beta now I can access via Steam as I already bought the game!

I have a 21:9 monitor. I don't expect every game to fully support it but it is nice when one does.

Adrian,

Any chance of 3DVision support?

When it uses Unreal Engine 3 you have every right to expect 21:9 when most PC games using UT3 have native support or can be modded via ini files if they are not encrypted against editing like Gears of War 1 PC.

Its always nice if the devs can implement this without resorting to modding though!

Yes, we'll do our best to make sure you don't need Helix :)

Thanks Adian! I'll make sure to post this over at the Nvida forums. It is always encouraging to see a developer who "gets" it. :)
