Was it the same reviewer? I think reviews may be opinions aswell, I'm not sure though
I just need to post this again! I tried playing the game with Flawless Widescreen and it mangles my performance even more. Even before that it was a resource hog that ran like crap at 3440x1440. It just seems like my AMD cards do not get on well with this modified idTech 5 engine, despite running Wolfenstein and much more demanding games easily at my native resolution.
The scene isn't even demanding. The optimisations just cripple the game for me, and it doesn't help that so far I found it to be an incoherent and tedious mess.
** Any image wider than 1280 pixels should be linked or placed in spoiler tags **
Flawless Widescreen is suited to Nvidia cards apparently as Hayden reckons AMD have driver issues. But once you remove those black bars the game is rendering 30% more its already a resource hog before after......

I short of have the same issue if i go over 2048x1080 . On the other forum ppl recommending this Flawless Widescreen to try and fix the problem.
So it'll remain unplayable for me, and any AMD users until Tango and AMD fix things. :/

I have tried on my Nvidia but doesnt work either. Maybe i was doing something wrong. Dont know. I give a try later again.
Thats what I think. Although I seem to have a fanboy on my channel fervently defending it and denying it's a bad PC Port.
I mean when Crysis 3 runs better on a GTX 980 at 1080p than this, it's rather hard to say the lighting effects alone make it amazing, and a good port.
Thanks for the info. Might have a look later.

I just tried the 2560x1080 and looks the same way as N19h7m4r3 reported.
I will have to wait for the patch to play i would assume.
Anyone running this on PC but on a HDTV?
I sometimes run games through my 1080p LCD TV as its larger and suits certain games like racers so I can sit back and play it with a controller.
I just tried it with this game but it makes the image huge so it doesn't 'fit' the screen. I can only see about a third of the ingame image.
What's weird is windows desktop and other games display on the screen perfectly. When I launch The Evil Within, it messes up.
I can't figure out why though as I thought it was the GPU that scales the game image onto the screen. I've doubled checked the resolution ingame and it's definately set to 1920x1080 the same as my desktop. I thought a monitor and hdtv both displaying 1080 through dvi or HDMI are essentially the same thing?
I'm pretty sure the TV is 60hz. (I think)

Right click on executable then on compatability tick 'disable scaling' - will sort issue

refresh rates and scaling? try set you windows to 50hz and see if it full screen on the hdtv
This game engine detects the HDTV it will be running @ 24Hz probably. Look up the solution for Wolfenstein The New order it will be the same probably.
Don't hold your breath mate they are working on patches but it does not seem a priority to them almost a week & not a single patch or update. I do not see them doing much on PC now they have given out the devconsole commands that seems to be their copout
Look at your GPU game profiles though on Nvidia I found it was detecting the wrong .exe file once I had done a manual profile using the 3D exe settings it appeared smoother but once Flawless Widescreen worked the performance went down again as 30% more screen to render as well as the real time shadows & light FX which appear to need huge GPU resource

Creating a user profile and manually selecting the .exe was on of the first things I did given it uses the idtech 5 engine.
One day mayhaps. Currently having a blast in Borderlands the Pre-sequel and looking to pick up Ryse as well. Maybe Alien as well.
Huh... Wolfenstein suffers the same issue? I'm playing Wolfenstein on my Plasma and it doesn't feel right so maybe this is it.
Anyone found the Wolfenstein solution?
Ok, cheers bigbilly50, your tip worked a charm!
Ive got Windows 8.1 64bit if that helps anyone.
trentlad: I also stumbled across a thread about Wolfenstein The New Order and this same issue here: http://steamcommunity.com/app/201810/discussions/0/540744474820928081/?l=norwegian
It seems you can edit the wolfconfig.cfg file and remove the line that is r_mode
Incidentally, this same line is in The Evil Withins config file too: the evil withinconfig.cfg
So this may also work too.
Check out that link for details.
Ive tested bigbilly50's method and it works 100% for me even with the flawless widescreen plugin so win win.
I may give the config r_mode method a try but I cant see there being any differences but it may work for Wolfenstein New Order.
Cheers chaps!

This game is seriously buggy I am really losing interest now
It started quite well but by chapter 6 the gfx take a massive downturn quality wise & FPS is worse than ever. Its a very poor RE4 clone with slightly better gfx overall but so many issues the latest is its unreliable when you reach the end of the chapter you will either get a corrupt profile, be able to save as normal or it will loop forever in places & never load your profile
I have had this at chapters 5 + 6 I see on the official forums others get it on other chapters as well sounds like it need withdrawing from sale for now (which I doubt they will do its still within the Steam top 10 as I type this).
