Going through the TH2Go should not be the problem. For example, I can play WoW in either 3840x1024 or instantly switch to 1600x1200 and play on my center screen without a problem. The TH2Go will allow 1600x1200 pass-through to the center screen. However... I just can't seem to get it to do it in th...

Racer_S & Paddy the Wak you guys are awesome! One request - is it possible to edit some file or registry to accomplish what Racer_S does? I use a Deck keyboard (smaller in size) and it doesn't have a number pad. So trying to activate this hack doesn't seem to work. Besides trying to dig out a USB ke...

When I started the game for the first time, I forgot to set the option under Window's properties that allows me the ability to switch my desktop to 1600x1200 mode. Thus, in game now, although 3840x1024 is available, the best 4:3 res I can select is 1280x1024 even though my desktop is running at 160...

Well, I think it looks like a PSP too. :?


Dem Pyros is correct - it's not a PSP. It's a Power Acoustik (PTM 750) 7" LCD display. You can see a better view of it in this picture:

Maybe it's just me, but that rear view mirror - or the small screen under the far right display sure looks like a Sony PSP. If this is the case - how did they hook that up to a Xbox?

@ Jazw: how is you rperformance and what is your system? starfighter - If your curious, I have a two 7950GX2 cards in my system. Even though I can turn everything on at 3840x1024, I had to turn down all the graphics to make it playable at this resolution. It seems to really lag when outside and the...

wazoo - Alright, I'm going to need to order 3 of these screens, a TrackIR, turn off all the lights, turn up the suround sound and load up F.E.A.R or something similar. This would give someone a heart atack (must be nice). I don't want to make the trip to a location and see one of these in person. It...

@ Magic Man - If you plan to run (3) 20" screens using 3840x1024 in windows, I would seriously look at (1) 20" screen in windows at 1280x1024 in a store or a friends house. I personally don't care for it. It's just not quite as crisp. So because I wanted 20" screens and I really enjoy 1600x1200 reso...

Paddy the Wak - have you tried TripleHead2go yet with this game? Just curious if it runs and if it would have the same or worse issues.

@RichieG - Yep we are seeing the same thing. This really sucks as I was looking foward to this game. It seems this is a common problem with EA. Battle for Middle Earth 2 has the same issues. If I find anything out - I'll let ya know. I really want this to work. Update: it looks like others are havin...

@mbeede Mark - I have a similar type of setup.

@cbair3 - Chuck - I have done exactly what you had in mind. It seems great minds think alike :D I have (3) Dell 2007FP monitors and (2) 7950GX2 video cards. I have them set at 1600x1200 DVI (non-SLi) for Windows normally. When I plan to game I use Quad SLi through the Matrox TripleHead2Go with VGA. ...

Well something is very wrong. It seems that they are scaling or doing something when set at 3840x1024. I had my previous screen shots at 3840x1024. So I went back into the game and set it for 1280x1024. This should give the same view somewhat being that it's the same height. Compare the screen shot....

@RichieG - I used the default settings and just changed the shortcut with "-xres 3840 -yres 1024". I did wish the view was more zoomed out - so I'll have to compare that with a normal view. I'll let ya know what I find later tonight.

Here is a 3840x1024 screen shot - low quality (high quality is 1mb)



Let me know if anyone wants more. Command line options are: -xres 3840 -yres 1024 (read the readme.txt for help)
