There is actually a fix for widescreen in unofficial patch.

Use Presentation mode, by pressing + , and select "Computer Only" for single monitor and "Duplicate" for Eyefinity. The best thing is that the two other monitors will shutdown, unlike playing with Catalyst profiles via shortcuts. You can also change which monitor is displaying the picture, by going ...

This beauty has been updated to v1.2 just recently and a fix to Surround gaming. :savews

Amazing pic, and thanks for remembering OSI games like Ultima IV. :)

I'd like to also know if there is fix for Surround gaming for S2?

Does anybody know if it works in Surround?

Since there was earlier discussion about getting the widescreen/eyefinity fix to Arx Fatalis that's already in Steam/GOG version, so here's the new official patch for it. Enjoy! :D

Just got this one, anybody know a way to bring the hud elements that hug the outside edges of the screen to the center monitor?

As far as I can tell, there is no way. Anyways, it's not that bad in Surround, though the benefit is quite minimal in this type of a game.

Yes, the screen is indeed interesting. :)

And what range of sizes they come?

I got this on first try today:

You exceeded the maximum allowed number of login attempts. In addition to your username and password you now also have to enter the confirm code from the image you see below.

Is somebody try to hijack my account?

I have no experience with Eyefinity but I see several problems.

1. The cost of entry, 3 displays, a high end graphics card to power them and dvi-displayport
adapter(s) adds up.
2. Too few games work out of the box

The second can be fixed, the first not so much.

1. Not really, if ...

I am using Eyefinity since the release of the 5770's. For me it became a must for a game. I haven't played a single game without eyefinity ever since. It is a much better experience in every game. It is a great thing that AMD made triple monitor gaming affordable. I will propably never go back to ...

I'm owner of 3xFullHD 23" screen setup with ATi Eyefinity and it works really nice. I also like it on my non-gaming mode too, when I can put email, web browser and explorer in full screen at the same time.

Moving to Surround gaming felt the biggest thing since moving to 3D accelerators (3DFX ...

I cannot verify 1920x1200 since my screen cannot handle it, but my since TDE supports with same engine, I don't see reason why this couldn't.

I guess the issue with 1280x768 is the rare 15:9 aspect ratio.

I can only answer to first one, you either need active DP->DVI adapter (expensive, not work 100%) or DP->VGA (cheap, works 100%).

Just got it and it works beautiful. :D Though videos seems to be -VERT, but I can live with that since everything else works beautifully. Nice game, I recommend it to all "old school" RPG lovers, if you love BG2, you'll like this. It has a bit steep learning curve though, but once you get the rules ...

That Burnout might be good, but NFS2 doesn't look too good in :triplewide and I already have DiRT but it's a whole different racing game. Can you suggest more games?

Grid "sort of" works.

What does that mean in practise? :)

Looks intresting. Been watching movies like Gone in 60s, so I need to a good street racer. :D
