Since its not officially supported I thought I'd post up how I found to make it work.

Your HUDs will be a bit large, but the in game visuals look good.

Go to your steam folder. In my case its on my E drive

E:\\Steam\\steamapps\\common\\homefront\\engine\\c onfig

Now open up BaseEngine. Towards the bottom you will see system settings

Change the numbers to the resolution you want. FYI, if you go into settings and hit apply then you will change them back and have to reopen and save the BaseEngine file again. So change your in game settings first.

Enjoy!

Borderlands
Fallout 3
Fallout NV
Race Driver Grid
Counterstrike (ok it works but side monitors clip though walls lol hacks*)
Dragon Age Origins
Starcraft 2
Saints Row 2

And the list goes on and on.

The developers did say on their forums that if there was enough demand for it they would patch in support for eyefinity and nvidia surround. I suggest you do a search over there any make your voice heard.

lol yeah it works but its screwed up for me, the menus are huge and it wont allow me to select my full resolution it limits my max resolution to like 3500x1650 or something and streaches it.

i wouldnt care if it was 5760x1080 but at 3500x1650 streached it isnt worth it

3 screen users do not buy this game! It does not support it. Its a console crap port with no native 5760x1080 support. You can tweak it but the video controls will not max. Its the same as bulletstorm. No one should have to pay for something broken! It can be downloaded for free!
