2560x1080

I just bought a real widescreen, 21:9.

The game itself is perfect, but the menu is not, been cut in a horrible way.

The three buttons for Cinematics, Options and Exit are clickable but are outside the view.
Similar in the other menu.

Solutions?
Someone else use a panoramic screen?

First things first.

Welcome to the Ultra-Widescreen masterrace (joke)!

The bad part is that some games have really shitty support for ultra-widescreen, and Dow2 is one of them.

A work around (ugly, but makes it playble) is changing a option in your configuration.lua.

1. Goto your homefolder->Documents->My Games-> dawn of war ii - retribution -> Settings.
2. Edit Configuration.lua in your favorite editor (notepad++)
3. Around line 160 (might vary depending on settings) you should find:

Code: Select all

   {
      setting = "horizontalmonitorcount",
      value = X,
   },
   

Set the "value" to 2, so it looks like:

Code: Select all

   {
      setting = "horizontalmonitorcount",
      value = 2,
   },
   

4. Enjoy!

What this will do is make Dow2 pretend you have several monitors, and the HUD will be limited to the center of the screen. This will make some things quite small and not much room in the HUD, altough you can see all the menus and the game is playable.

Good luck!

It works... but i really don't like the HUD like that.
It's more comfortable than go right and left with my eyes for everything, but now it feel like a waste of a widescreen. : (

Thanks anyway.
