[FIXED] Support for Super-Widescreen Monitors now broken? Anyone else seeing this??

[Obsidian Ant]

EDIT: I've now fixed this. I deleted the graphics folder and now all is fine.

So it seems support for super-wide monitors might now be broken. At least it is for me since 1.3.6. Anyone else see this? Or if not does anyone have any suggestions as to what I might do to fix it?

I have made no system or driver changes since 1.3.5. Graphic settings within Elite are set to a resolution of 2560x1080, this should give me an aspect ratio of 21:9 however it is locked to 16:9. This is how it looks (there are huge black bars to the left and right of the image):

And below is how it always looked previously:

I've got an Ultrawide monitor (inspired by your awesome videos) and it's still displaying OK. I don't have a custom FOV, recording software or Rift. Wish I could help more!

Thanks for the reply (and glad you like the videos). 21:9 is great!

I just deleted the graphics folder and let the game recreate it. It's working fine now.

How about support for multiple monitors? Is this available yet?
Although, I don't mind having ED on one screen and forums and stuff on the other.

You may want to add "Fixed" to your thread title, if possible.

I'm not sure if you mean displaying different parts of the game on different screens, like showing the gal map while showing the HUD at the same time, or showing the HUD over 3 screens.

If it's the latter, I use nVidia surround to create one 'monitor', and ED recognizes the resolution (5760x1080) just fine. So I get the main view over my 3 screens. Hope that helps.

Yeah, that's it.. spread it across 3 screens... cool, might give that a try.

Other than using Nvidia's Surround or AMD's Eyefinity (and forcing the monitors act as single monitor), I don't know any full screen directx game that can utilize multiple monitors seperately (one for the main gaming screen, other for the map display etc.). I may be a little misinformed on this, because ED is the only (serious) PC game that I played in the last 2 or 3 years (I am an old pc gamer turned to consoles). That kind of multi-screen would be very nice, though.

Hey Granite, I just picked up a 21:9 2560x1080 monitor and am having the same issues with the black bars. Could you tell me how you fixed that?

P.S. also love the videos man
