Widescreen Gaming Forum

Ah, I don't know about the steam version, but patch 1.1 was fine for TH2Go with the standalone game.

Bioshock "feels" Hor- in widescreen already, so maybe you're just fooled by the game's particular look & feel (currently playing in 16:10 and I can't say I love it). :? A better example of a so-called "surround-ready" game that actually looks like crap out of the box would be Doom3/Prey/Q4...

Hmmm. Well, it says 1.1 at the option screen. But, comparing it to my laptop (which has two 8800GTX's and so is reasonably comparable in general) which runs in 1920x1200 and is clearly much more playable due to the (relatively) increased FOV.

I'll take some screenies when I get home to show what I mean.

Again, the whole setup is worth it just because of the racing games I mentioned - it's so much more immersive.

But it really is a bit of a PITA in general. I'm going to go ahead and get a 30" for those games that don't work well. Right now I'm using an awesome Sony HDTV - but I'm a weirdo who likes to have the TV on in the background while I'm gaming. Must be ADHD or something :wink:

PS - anybody know of a good monitor arm setup that would work with a 30" monitor? I'd like to be able to swing it out of the way when I'm using the TH2Go. It'd be nice if it could somehow clamp to my desk. Man, I am way OT here!

Just because you have patched bioshock to 1.1 does not mean that it will be Hor+. You have to disable the FOV lock in the options menu. You might have done this but not mentioned it, but I figured it was worth mentioning because I had the same problem after patching.
