Hi. Sorry if my question is in wrong topic, but i found this topic is right. Here's the question: I run quake with all recommended settings, my config: seta cg_fov "110" seta r_mode "-1" seta r_fullscreen "0" seta r_customwidth "2880" seta r_customheight "1024" But the game shows for about 70% of my two monitors, other 30% shows gray texture with (often) shield on it O_O Here's screenshot: http://sxiii.ath.cx/quake3-widescreen-badrun.jpg Why that happends? P.S. Radeon X850XT with LCD on LCDtoVGA [1280x1024] convertor and CRT on VGA [1600x1200], so i choose my maximum 2880x1024. Sorry, i didn't find any info on other sites... It's hard to find anyone, there are not so much gamers in russia playing more than one monitor :) Thanks. |

I'd take a guess that it's a limit set by the X850XT. I do remember at some point some windowed programs I ran on my old x800xl capped out past a certain width. Although instead of showing grey going too wide simply made the entire window stop refreshing. |

Ohh, i guessed same thing... Too bad :( Maybe some workarounds? (buying new video adapter is the best workaround, i know, but for now want to leave this card...) |

As I said, only a guess. Did you try other resolutions? like 2880x768 for example? |

I tryed, but not the one you said. Will try also. And i run UT99 (first UT), then alt+enter window mode, then tryed to resize the window more than 70% of 2 monitors (less works well), when it goes more than 70%, game exits with huge strange error. So probably you guessed right about limitations of my video adapter... Have2buy new HD4870 or something like that... :) |
