I tried. I can't get it to work.

Have we heard any response from Hayden on the issue?

Truly I am lost in attempting to get Helifax's solution to work.

I downloaded some app called CheatEngine (the name doesn't really make me feel very warm and fuzzy inside). I installed that.

It asked me to do some tutorial. I started showing me some confusing windows. I closed out of it ...

Yep, the new patch is here and the Ultrawide Fix by HaYDeN does not work as it doesn't support the new version. Anyone have a clue how to resolve this issue?

Yeah, it's quite disappointing that they haven't and will most likely never fix this despite having the fix available.

Personally, I think I finally got mine to work again. I had 5870 Xfire and then went to GTX480 SLI and then went to GTX580 SLI. The whole time it was on the same platform ...

Nope no point in testing newer drivers. Problem still exists. Dice has all but abandoned ever fixing the issue. No point in talking about now as they just claim we are flaming them.

It's now been well over 6 months since the issue was brought to attention, followed by them stating they had a fix and then nothing since. I can't imagine one good reason at this point if they fix it why I would play it now when so many other good games are available and BF3 itself is near 6 months ...

What's really messed up about the whole deal is that the crash doesn't even occur in the Vietnam expansion. So why the difficulty on getting this fix out.

Fuck Kalms and fuck DICE, frankly. 3+ months to fix something that was working before they broke it? Not acceptable.

I don't think they broke anything. Mine has never worked on either Eyefinity or NVidia Surround.

Oh and how much do you want to bet the same issue is going to show up in BF3?

Well, since they've fixed it internally and know what caused it, my guess is no, it won't be in BF3.

Except we see the same issues return again in many games. Take Bioshock for example with the FOV ...

[quote]so what exactly is causing the crashes

Not sure, but it's not in our configs. The dev I was communicating with didn't say specifically what it was, but that they had identified the cause and fixed it in a beta client. After testing I can confirm that on my system the crashing has ...

I have noticed that when I OC my cards I get the CTD almost routinely. Now if I go down to stock speeds (Below EVGA Superclocked) speeds I get 100% playable expierence. Is it just me or am I way off base for the troubleshooting that you guys are going for?

My cards aren't OC'ed at all.

They care... they have a patch almost ready to deploy with the fix for these crashes. Just wish it would come out soon :)

I'm not holding my breath. It was nearly 2 months ago that was said and still nothing.

Ive also noticed that I only get crashes in BC2 but vietnam works like a dream

I'm having the same experience myself. So I've been sticking with Vietnam for now.

Yep. I can concur that the game runs terrible in Surround resolutions. I am running two GTX 580 in SLI @ 6050x1080 and the game is simply unplayable.

This is the kind of support you rarely see from developers. I will be a DICE supporter for life if they get this fixed.

this might help
If you are overclocking your CPU or system memory then revert back to the default frequencies for those devices through these tests. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT NOT TO OVERCLOCK ANY COMPONENTS DURING THIS TEST. If you are using 1066MHz or 1333 MHz 1.5V memory than try increasing the ...

I've been struggling with this for 8 or 9 months now. Whenever I play this game using some sort of 3 screen display, I eventually get Crash to Desktops. If I play the game on just a single monitor, it never crashes.

I used to play the game using 2 5870s in Crossfire. After trying every possible ...

So no one has yet figured this out? I'm trying to run Surround and nothing is working.

I just bought this game and am trying to run this in Eyefinity. I can't seem to see all the text and after searching was directed to this thread. I've tried implementing the mod to fix the HUD so that I can see all of the text for dialogues, but I can't seem to get it to work.

I have edited the ...
