 I am EXTREMELY disappointed and am very glad I did not purchase a copy on release. Guess this is one epic I will have to pass up on.

Why not just play it on a single monitor? Seems like a silly reason to not play a game. Especially one this good.

[boredtotears001]

Because when they say they are going to support it, then don't, and then say they are going to patch it, then don't makes it feel like a slap in the face. True, however, that they technically did say they would patch it, but i trust PC Games Hardware to be a reliable source and they said they contacted Bioware. You can read about that here: http://www.pcgamesha...struction/News/



Also, I was waiting to play it because it would make a great game that much better. To play a game on 3 screens makes crappy games amazing, imagine what it could do for ME2.

I'm waiting on Eyefinity patch to buy it too. I really want to play this game, which is why I'm willing to wait for the best experience. Same reason you wouldn't watch a camcorder rip of Avatar instead of watching it at an IMAX theater. Were it a lesser game I'd probably settle.

I can't figure how Playing on a regular 16/9 1080p monitor/tv or even better, 2560x1600 is a lesser experience than Eyefinity, I've played with Eyefinity some games, but the comparison with a movie is just sloppy... since Mass Effect 2 is like a personalized, interactive movie, and so it fits its standard oO

Much like Dragon Age which released without support but has then had subsequent, post release patches, to support Eyefinity.

So, wether BioWare said that they will support it (as they did for Dragon Age Origins, AT A LATER DATE THAN THE RELEASE (since it's not a game breaking feature), they will do the same for Mass Effect 2, if they said that they're going to patch it, it means that it's on the queue line, and there are more pressing concerns right now than eyefinity support.

Not touching this either till they get EyeFinity support. It's not too hard guys, all they need to do is change one line of code that calculates the FOV, then go through the GUIs and make sure they aren't all zoomed in (this part may be a bit harder since they decided to use the aspect ratio instead of the real resolution to calculate where the GUI should be).

umm i hate to burst your bubble did bioware say the game would support Eyefinity or Triplehead or did the guy that sold you the hardware say that to make a sale. i will bet it was the sales man. and since 99.99% of gamers are on one monitor you are SOL on a patch from bioware they have better stuff to work on like real game patches and DLC.

Who buys hardware from sales people 

Anyway, here's my sources:

Looking at the image all but 2 games work in multi-monitor (Mass Effect 2 and CoD MW2) and MW2 works with an FoV bind/Widescreen Fixer tool.  So it seems like it's planned, obv not at release.. but some future patch.  So I have no problem waiting since they said they're working on it, doesn't mean I can't prod them though.

[Cmdr. A. J. Shepard]

No offensive but... deeeaaammnn. I'm just try'n to get my game to run without the crash/restart probs that have ran from ME1 to ME2. And, have been playing them devotedly despite that nerve-racking problem for about 2 years (I'm including ME1 in that time-frame).

3 monitors? Is that necessary, or for that matter ergonomically sound? Not to sound like OSHA or some ****. Who has the money for that kind'a set-up? Wish I could afford to spoil like that.

I wasn't really comparing it to a movie but the medium you experience it through.  Watching a movie on a monitor isn't as immersive as watching it on IMAX, just like playing a game at 5:4 isn't as immersive as 16:9 nor 48:9.

Those of us asking for it know it wasn't supported at release and that they proposed to patch it, we're just making sure they remember there's people out there waiting for it.

[Elmakai]

I am waiting on this too.  Why is something that is a relatively easy fix not being address?  Any word, Bioware?

[Gaping]

After reading through this thread and others on the web I see clearly the camp divided between those who know what they are talking about and those who do not. The users of Eyefinity know what they are talking about, the rest do not.
I use Eyefinity not only for games, but for usable workspace that I would not trade now that I have it. Games that do not translate into Eyefinity are unplayable, but I am not going to unhook my monitors and reconfigure my display settings every time I want to play a game on a single monitor.
As for the too repetitive insinuations that Eyefinity users are spoiled and shouldn't complain when others can only afford a single monitor, quit whining and save up your money. Monitors are cheap now, I'm not rich and I managed it. And if you do not want multiple monitors, FINE, enjoy yourself on a single monitor, I'm happy for you if you enjoy it. Actually, to be honest, I really don't give a sh** what you enjoy, I enjoy Eyefinity, and that's all I'm concerned about right now. Bioware please:wizard: fix this game with a patch that you certainly can develop quickly and easily.

Many of the textures already look terrible at 1680x1050. I can't imagine how noticeable this would be at the huge resolutions of a dual or tri-monitor setup! I think that BioWare should first work on adding some higher resolution textures and then add in multi-monitor support (so that these users won't be disappointed by the image quality).

Well, the higher resolution of multi-monitor just adds more viewable area (when done right).  For example if you had 1 1920x1080 monitor vs 3 1920x1080 monitors in landscape, the center monitor would show the exact same thing as the single monitor, and the left and right monitor would extend your view left and right.

If you did 3 monitors in portrait (3240x1920) vs a single 1920x1080 monitor you would see the same contents of the single monitor occupying the middle of the screen but with an additional 660 pixels going left and 660 pixels to the right extra viewing area, as well as 420 more pixels on top and 420 more pixels on bottom.

The goal isn't making things larger or to use more pixels on the same image, but to extend the viewing area.

I honestly only care about getting actual support so i can play this game. As of right now, with my setup, the menus and in-game camera are extremely zoomed and is utterly unplayable. From what i have seen from screen shots I probably wouldn't even notice the bad textures unless zoomed in far enough on someones shoulder. I only ask that I be able to play the game. Isn't that why they are a business in the first place? To have people buy and enjoy their product? 

However, the textures are not the issue this topic is discussing. Let's get some Eyefinity and Triplehead support!

[Yamoc4]

The problem is with the engine. It's vert-, vert- is bad for ANY widescreen user. From what we've seen from other developers it seems to be an easy fix. We're just looking for confirmation that one is in the works is all.



PC gaming has always been a home for the bleeding edge and supporting new techs while not required is always a plus.

[bcomer]

seriously, what the hell is the hold up? Lets get some eyefinity support, its been far more than enough time to fix this.

[boredtotears001]

Bumping this until a statement about it is released!

[boredtotears001]

BUMP!

[boredtotears001]

MORE!

[Wild Still]

I have three monitors and a hankerin' fer some eyefinity myself.



I don't feel as though my office is warm enough and fire up all three 30s would help that problem.

[boredtotears001]

BUMP

[noquarter7]

ME2 is on sale for $30 through Amazon today.. really wish they'd add Eyefinity so I could buy it..

[Fursnake]

Interesting that there are even MMO's that support Eyefinity, but not ME2...not yet anyhow. I can put it aside for now until they (hopefully) fix it in a patch soon. I heard that Bioware said they were looking into fixing it in a future patch, hopefully not too far into the future. I've got plenty of other games that work in Eyefinity fo play through for now. And the view in Eyefinity is awesome, I'm glad I invested soem tax refund money into an Eyefinity setup.

[noquarter7]

Yea I picked up Bad Company 2 instead, hard to pass up that $30 ME2 but BC2 is awesome on 3 monitors.



Also.. OT but what do you have to do to get those DA:O and ME icons to show under your names..
