Risen 2 - the successor to Risen, which worked very well in Eyefinity/Surround except some minor flaws - doesn't support Eyefinity/Surround. It even won't run in these resolutions when manually editing the Config File.

However, I have made some progress in editing one more Config file. The results were still quite disappointing: The game started in 5040x1050 Window mode, videos and main menu were streteched and when trying to start a new game, it crashed.
The Config files seem to be written in LUA, from what I can tell. So this is what I was able to do, I hope someone with more knowledge can progress further:

C:UsersAppDataLocalRisen2ConfigConfigUser.xml
Change your resolution here: (Line 65 for me)


..SteamSteamAppscommonrisen 2datainiConfigDefault.xml
Starting from Line 26 there is a section with common aspect ratios. I added 48x10 aspect ratio:

Code:

<Aspect48x10
           VirtalWidth="1728"
           VirtalHeight="1080"
           EnableDrawScale="True"
         >

Needless to say, I'm very disappointed of this step backwards :(

//*Edit:
Here is a screenshot of the results after editing the .xml files:

Damn it I have been trying as well it just doesn't work, no reg edit and no launcher, those config files just don't work, I may try a bit more but I have almost given up, I think its a dead end.

[Update] I have made progress! 5760x1080 aspect is a bit messed up it may actually work...

5760x1080 in progress

[Update] never mind it will not work through configs, game clearly only knows aspects 4x3 16x9 16x10 5x4 5x3 and the menus in game a totally jacked. Sigh :( another one down, this one going to need memory hacks or a official patch.

official patch ? Rofl :D Don't think that will ever happen :(

ah man :( Loved Risen. Why would you do this Pyranha Bytes ? -.- Hope there is a way to fix that with a memory hack !

Everything can be fixed:) So even this can be fixed:) Waiting for "another" release type and I will give it a try:) if people are interested:) or maybe somebody else fixes it in the meantime;))

I did that it makes no diff it does not know what that aspect ratio is, the game probably has a list(switch statement or what ever), we need to override the current aspect ratio while playing like the guys do with mem hacks.

Lol. After doing the edits to the xml files, now my game starts in German >.<
