Solutions & Issues

Baseline (Widescreen) Solution & Issues

Native "Vert+" support.
Fullscreen mode uses whatever resolution the Windows desktop is set to. Windowed mode only seems to work with standard resolutions i.e from 5:4 to 16:9. The game must be restarted for new display settings to be applied.
Research data log is Hor+ !

Ultra/Super-Wide (21:9/32:9) Specific Solution & Issues

Screen change is Vert- (slightly Hor+, vastly Vert-).
Although it seems OK at first glance, the camera often fails to follow Liang closely enough to ensure satisfactory gameplay.
During dialogs, Liang's portrait scales correctly but other characters' stretch.

Eyefinity / Surround Specific Solution & Issues

Unsupported (Vert-).
