whenever i try to start Risen 2 it deactivates my both side monitors.....
When i tab out of the Game (at main menue) i'm on the desktop but side monitors still deactivated. Can't reactivate them, no mater what, even re configuring Eyefinity Setup doesn't help.
So when i want to tab back into the Game it tries to maximize to 6048x1080 but only the Main Monitor is aviable and the game crashes.

Any idea what i'm supposed to do ?


Hmm this is very weird...and it looks like a game& driver issue...which is weird...
If you don't activate the fix and alt+tab to desktop are the 2 side monitors deactivated??

jep, happens if i activate or deactivate fix.

i tought this might be a driver issue.
no one else having this problem?

i got the newest unofficial beta driver... 13.6b2 iirc

this happened before on some other games, but when you select 5760x1080 in settings side monitors get reactivated. sadly in risen2 1920x1080 is the max resolution i can set ingame.

Damn that looks like a driver issue thing...Normally if your desktop is 5760x1080 and you launch a game at 1920x1080 and you alt+Tab you should go back to the desktop using the desktop resolution...for some reason the driver seems not to revert to that resolution...which is weird..

I don't have Eyefinity only Surround and I am not getting this problem...Have you tried to revert/reinstall the drivers to see if this issue goes away?

First of all a BIG THANK YOU to helifax for all the time that you spent working on a fix for Risen 2! :twothumb:

I just dug out that game, since i wanted to try it on my 21:9 monitor on a resolution of 2560x1080. I applied the latest fix with widescreenfixer. Did ALT+Tab twice. The fix seems to work perfectly, except for the old dialog problem. I just can't see those damn dialogs! Is there any way you could look into this?

Funny thing is, if I only alt+tab once (not in the menu, but ingame), the resolution is fixed and i can choose the dialogs, but the whole hud is set for a 16:9 resolution and char names are distorted. If I open the inventory it's also aligned to the left side and on the right you can see a buggy version of the ingame graphics. I'll add some screenshots soon.

Edit: okaaay, when I only alt+tab once in the menu and load a game, everything is working perfect. But after the second alt+tab everything is screwed. Hope this might help, if u still want to fix it. I will be able to use it that way now. :) Big thanks again! :)

Hi!
Widescreenfixer works like a charm except with the dialogs. As infest stated above, it only works till 1x alt+tab. After the 2nd one it will disappear.
I have tried zeyrok methot. Same issue. :(
