Out of sheer curiosity, has anyone attempted to play WOH with an ultrawide or multi-monitor setup? I know there likely wouldn't be much point due to the aspect ratio of the game plus the game's border, but I thought I'd ask as I haven't seen anyone really talk about either.

When I had multiple monitors it worked just fine on my multi monitor set up.
Expack3 Today at 8:00 PM
@K-Bone Did it span across all your monitors?
K-Bone Today at 8:01 PM
It couldn't when I tried it. But I wouldn't be surprised if it was fine for a ultrawide.
Expack3 Today at 8:03 PM
@K-Bone So it just displayed on Display 1 of your multi-monitor setup?
K-BoneToday at 8:04 PM
Yeah"
