Thanks. Missed the MP part.

I accidentally got the menu to work in triple wide (5760x1080). I'm not sure if it's reproduceable, but I've done this twice and it's worked both times (the first time by accident).

When I launch the game, I pressed alt+f4 to terminate. After launching it again, blur will run into an error (the windows message), then terminate. If you launch a 3rd time, it will then default to some sort of 'safe mode' where it defaults to 640x480 windowed mode. Except, for me it appears as 5760x1080 windowed and all the menus act like it's 640x480 (centered). What's more, the HUD is centered in a race yet the game itself is running in triple wide. The graphics options will report 640x480 for the resolution.

Here's a shot of the menu. You can clearly see that it thinks it's running in 4:3 (even has the horizontal bars?), but I'm clearly running in triple wide.



I'm not sure if it's reproduceable... but it seems to work for me.

Yeah, I WISH this worked - - no joy.

Tried Alt-F4-ing out, never got the error code on entry back in, game always launches in Eyefinity as it should . . .

Bummer!

HOWEVER, I can testify that once, months ago when I first got the game, I experienced a similar bug, and was amazed - - until it went away on a restart, and I could never get it back.

Must be SOMETHING that can be altered in the MENU resolution that doesn't mess with the GAME resolution!

Maybe someone will find a fix . . . or they will patch it . . . or I will win a million dollars . . .

But I can hope!

ANYONE else get this workaround to function?

Is anybody looking into this issue? It would be great to have it like Hydralisk_X has shown

I can't get a centered HUD in multi-mon either. No error message whatsoever. :(

Minor outstanding DR omissions:

1920x1080, 1920x1200 and 2560x1600 confirmed to work.

In Win7 settings are saved in C:UsersAppDataRoamingbizarre creationsblursettings.xml. There's only basic settings and window coordinates in there, though.

Im having problems with my 3 monitor eyefinity and Blur. If i set the game resolution to 4800x900, all three monitors are fine. If i set the game to 5760x1080, my centre and right monitors have a black border around the picture. My other games dont do this. Have i set something up wrong? The zoomed in menu system i can live with, but a 1" black border i cant!

Any Ideas?

Did anyone ever figured out how to go around the zoomed in UI menus? It's such a fun game that plays awesome in triple screen mode, but having to switch to 1920*1200 everytime I want to do something is kind off annoying :D
Thanks community
