Would anyone kindly confirm support for multiple monitors? This game looks like something I can really immerse myself into with the extra screens!

Yeah if you have the setup you should be able to do it, others have.
Did anyone else's game just update via a 360kb or so file?

Mine did a smaller file earlier on and then another file more recently.

@bugtrip: Yes! I have a setup with a Nvidia card, Matrox Triplehead and three connected 1920x1080 monitors. At this moment I can play flawlessly at 3840x1024 resolution. When I set it to higher, 5760x1080 (my normal game resolution), it locks up but this is, I think, due to the Matrox driver from my triplehead. (Have to check into it later)

Nevertheless, Dear Esther, on 3840x1024. In a darkened room. With 5.1 stereo headphones = full immersion. I'm not looking at the island, I'm there. So it enhances the experience a lot.

Pic to prove it, hehe

I will try to make some video footage and place it on YouTube.

btw, if you play with the resolutions and it locks up, there is a chance the game will not start. In that case just browse the steam folders and look for config file where you can edit the videosettings back to a lower resolution with notepad.

And at these resolutions every screenshots becomes an instant wide wallpaper

Man, I can not express my respect for the leveldesigner. Over and over again. Especially considering he had the Source engine to work with. Image what he will make with a nextgen engine :)
