Hi Guys

Just had my copy of Alpha Protocol turn up and unforuntly it doesnt work with eyefinity and also dont konw if it works with any other multi monitor setups.

For some reson it will span to all three monitors but has prlbmes with in game menus being stuck to the main middle monitor.

As usual its been built from the unreal engine.

Ive put a post up in the alpha protocol forms hopefully a dev will get back about it - http://forums.sega.com/showthread.php?t=328675

Mmm thanks for posting StAnToN.

If anyone was wondering how to window the game, open the following in a text editor:

Search for:

Change to:

The resolution toggles are also located here, about 10 lines below the fullscreen toggle

Insert whatever numbers you want there.

Alpha Protocol - Works a Treat with Eyefinity 3x1 :?

Gentlemen, I think we need screenshots.

I've played it through a few missions now and with nothing but Eyefinity working in a 3x1 setup. Updated the post I made with links to screen shots...as asked for.

Thanks... but these could very well be Vert- :? Could you be so kind as to add a single-screen vs. Eyefinity comparison ? :oops:

I'll have to wait until I get home from work in a few hours to provide additional screen shots.

But, just to make something clear: The menu options and mini-games are all confined to the center screen...without stretching across all three screens out of aspect. Once back into the action, all screens become active again.

EDIT to add screen shots:

Single Screen: 1920x1080

Eyefinity Screen: 6024x1080

People can believe me or not. I could provide more but, I'd really rather be playing the game than trying to prove that it works on my system.

If you're having problems, go into SEGA/Alpha Protocol/APGame/Config/DefaultEngine.ini and setup your Eyefinity resolution to start up. I had to do that after reducing the screen to one screen only for this post. As it was, I installed the game with Eyefinity already in effect and the game automatically recognized it and away I went.

EDIT 2: Before you ask, here's a screen shot showing a menu item:

I have to emphasize that, on my system, ALL of the menus, Inventory, Computer Hacking/Lock Picking, etc., show up completely on the CENTER screen just a though I was playing it on a single screen. There's NOTHING missing.

Still not working for me... stretched menues etc

Eyefinity users do have strange issues sometimes... Some have pillarboxed gameplay in Assassin's Creed 2 (patched), I've seen screenies of Dirt2 stretched... :?

Anyway, thanks Dyre for the pictures. Multi-mon is definitely not strictly Hor+ compared to 16:9.

16:9


Eyefinity

The only thing different that I'm aware of [between my version and the others] is that I got mine via Digital Download from GameStop. Their vendor is TryMedia. Whether TryMedia did any kind of patching to the game prior to making it available, I have no way of knowing. What I DO know, though, is that they have given me notice that I am NOT to use any general patch for this version of the game as the general patches may possibly cause my game to not work. So, any patches for the game, I have to get directly from TryMedia.
