Surround Gaming and Aliens Vs Preditor 2

[GT98]

Ok I just got AvP Primal Hunt installed on my computer and I set up it to use Surround gaming via the Matrox Website. Only problem is that it seems like the Lithtech Engine is limited to 1920X640 rez, which I find a bit too low for my likes. I tried 2400x800 rez and even 3072x1024, but the game goes back to a single display. What I dont get is on the Matrox Surround gaming website it shows screenshots of the game in 2400x600 mode. Any suggestions???

BTW Surround Gaming totally kicks ass!

That's a misprint/error in the shot description. Notice that the instructions state to use 1920x480 resolution (in the shortcut setup). Also, the shots there are 2460x846, which (with bezels taken into account) is actually 1920x480, or 3x640x480+bezels.

The links to the shots should read 640x480x3.

AvP2 is a DX7 title, therefore suffering from the API limitation that negates any width of greater than 2048 (so 2400x600 is right out).

Hope this helps.

As SoulJive mentioned AVP2 is using the old Lithtech 2 engine unlike NOLF 2 which uses the DX8 version of it, that is an API limitation unfortunately,
