Well, the game recognizes the wide screen resolutions however it seems to lock down the aspect ratio to 16:9 or so as I'm getting a very annoying letter box resolution during game play.

Time to start tweaking files to see what can be changed.

edit: Anyone know of a unzipping tool that supports a .dzip extension? I've tried 7zip, winzip, winrar... all of them fail to look into the package file.

edit2: go figure... even the program named "dzip" can't read the .dzip file extension.

hmmm hex edit time I guess.

It's a shame that this game does not have native Support for Eyefinity.

On the other hand... It won't even start in Fullscreen Mode here... have to run it in Window... :roll:

The first game had jacked up eyefinity support. Now this one seems to have none at all?
I would of played the first one on one monitor and then preordered this but now that this doesnt even support it I won't ever buy it.

It does list the resolutions. It even runs the Eyefinity resolutions. It's just, that you get black borders on both left and right screen. 16:9 seems max for now.

Too bad. It is a really good game. I loved the first game, but this is just awesome! Graphics are gorgeous, gameplay is excellent, dialogs and story telling are better than what I've seen during the past few years in all the games (except 1 or 2 maybe).

We should get some kind of community outreach for this, is there some kind of template stating the benefits of EyeFinity/Nvidia Surround and how mainstream it is now, etc etc?

Wow, major let down. I was so looking forward to a native surround experience. This is actually a shocker, coming from a PC only dev like CDproject Red.

Tsk tsk. :evil:

Someone's already started a thread at GoG.com (The developer's site I beleive): http://www.gog.com/en/forum/the_witcher_2/eyefinity_superwidescreen_support

The thread over at GOG.com (CD Projekt's Online Store) is filling. Let's hope best.
