Dawn of War II confirmed to work with eyefinity. HUD is not stretched, but minimap and unit portrait are on WAYYYY opposite sides.

Is there somewhere better than photobucket to upload these too? PB has a size limit that sucks.

imageshack will take full 5760x1200 shots but it seems to kill off some of the quality in exchange.

I posted triplehead shots from beta I think. Too bad hud is not centered, its unplayable this way.

HDimage was pretty good image service.

I own this game.

I'll see if there's anything I can do about the HUD.

After experimenting, Ive noticed this game is ALOT better with 3x1 portrait. Not only is the HUD problem much better, but the space is actually well used. Most of the action in DoW2 is condensed into one screen, and peripheral vision is pretty useless. Having 3x1 portrait is like having a 40" screen with tons of pixels.

Ive posted pics here to compare:

The lack of centered HUD was what put me off playing it with TH2G, that and the fisheye FoV.

There's already a thread for this, can we merge it please... use search next time.

Also the squad screen (single player campaign) is completely busted which makes it unusable for the campaign.

This game is on sale for $20 right now on direct2drive, makes me want to get it. But not sure if I will like it or not and eyefinity is not 100% yet.

Or looking at the horizon through a jail cell window. Eyefiniteness FTW !

Yeah, but to clarify for others its the change team members section of the campaign (2d) map view, not the tactical (3d rts) parts. I played half the game without noticing! Then I used to change res to change the squad members, change res to triplehead and play for a while more.

Cant believe they never bothered fixing it, several of us here highlighted it ages back.
