skyrim

Kicking off a new sub-series of feature videos to supplement my current surround feature videos that I produce. The "Hack" series is focused on being more educational teaching how to use hacks and showing them in action to help newcomers of the community get on board with surround configurations.

Also I think this will help spread the attention and praise well deserved by our community members that dedicate there time and efforts into fixing these games for everybody's enjoyment.

It's a bit late but here it is, the game natively supports multi-monitor setups however it stretches the interface which breaks it, but luckily a couple of people are working to get a fix created, this video shows one of the fixes although the fix is still work in progress. I've got an extended version on the way that will continue the video for about 28 minutes of gameplay total. Once again if your monitors width is larger than 1920 pixels and you have lots of bandwidth, set the quality to original and play the video in full screen for a much higher quality.

Thanks to HaYDeN for this multi-monitor solution, it will fix the menu issues that would make Skyrim practically unplayable at eyefinity/surround resolutions, please check the game's Detailed Report, under Multi-Monitor Specific Solution, for all information.

Edit: Added another multi-monitor solution in the Detailed Report, by helifax (v 1.4.27.0.4 is supported).
Edit2: Added version 0.91 of HaYDeN's fix in the Detailed Report (v. 1.3.10 is supported).

Forum member Sonicmixer posted screenshots proving native Hor+ support in Skyrim. It also appears that the minimalistic HUD is not stretched. Falcon1 followed up with a post on the Bethesda forum that onlines all the .ini tweaks, including FOV adjustments.
UPDATE: The Menus are zoomed in and distorted, severely crippling gameplay. See this thread: http://widescreengamingforum.com/forum/forums/multi-monitor-gaming/mult…

With Skyrim only being a few weeks away Beth Blog has announced what the games minimum and recommended requirements will be, so finially you'll have an idea of how well it is going to run on your system. Unfortunately there is still no information on what kind of support there will be for multi monitor systems, but I remain hopeful they have taken the route of Oblivion.

You can find the system requirements at the bottom of this news article (you'll need to click the title first if your on the home page) or via Bethblog source link at the bottom.
