[quote]I'm fairly certain i was able to run my Steam version on Eyefinity at 5760x1200... (pre-bezel comp)

Can you remember how you set it up? Did you have to edit any of the files or could you just select 5760x1200 in the video options?

Select "aspect ratio 16:9" and check if the surround resolutions are available, at least running HL Source it works. :wink:

How?

On the Steam version in my video options there is no aspect ratio selection. Just the Renderer (Software, OpenGL, or D3D), Display Mode (Normal or Widescreen), Resolution, Color Quality, and the option to run the game in a window

On the original version I also have no option to set the resolution.

OH k, my bad, so its only in the Source version of HL, you may try it, it supports surround, i bought it yesterday on steam for $1.49.

:bowdown Thank you so much thales. I'll happily fork over a couple more dollars to run this game in surround!
Cheers.

I just got it too, the whole anthology of HL1 was only $2.50 and have never played the original (that I can remember) so definitely going to be doing this soon.

Cool, i can say im having lots of fun here. :cheers

I did not know the steam version was automatically the source version remake.

Sometimes I feel the "old" graphics help preserve the classic nature of a game. However for the trade off of eyefinity I'll take it :D

Trying to google around to find some comparisons I found this clip, not exactly what I wanted but it does demonstrate the differences to some extent.



Also since its source based that means the center hud fixes we use for L4D2 and TF2 should also work on this game if you need to do that.

I'm not so sure about that, because there are still two separate Steam entries:
http://store.steampowered.com/app/70/
http://store.steampowered.com/app/280/

If you're right though, does that mean Blue Shift and Opposing Force are Source games as well and thus support multi-mon res's ?
Really bummed to have missed that offer btw :(

My guess is I have the non source version then. It does not say source anywhere on my game in my library.

As scav posted, there are two versions of HL1 available on steam, source and non source (they have different icons). Source version supports surround out of the box.
