It worked for me this weekend as well, just had to set it up in full screen windowed mode, and I did see the empty polygons, but overall it seems to work great!

Window mode != Fullscreen;))

I bet once the game is actually released I will make a fix for FullScreen so we can play the game in 3D Surround;))

While your fix may work, I can't see it being safe from Blizzard's Warden system. They already stated that eyefinity/surround won't be supported, and modding any files will just result in a ban since they also stated that they won't allow any mods for D3. Basically, we're SOL unless Blizzard has a change of heart, which I highly doubt they will since they've been so adamant about it.

who said anything about change of files?:))) Ofc any fix is being used at ones risk. But I doubt they will actually ban anyone for using a fix like this.

I thought a fix would require changing something like memory addresses and the like to get it to work? That's how I understood it anyways, sorry if my assumption was wrong. From what I remember from D2, their anti-cheat system Warden basically scans for any changes to files, injections and current running processes on your PC which will flag you if something pops up, resulting in a ban shortly after. Blizzard even banned people for a fix that let people run multiple copies of the game (with different CD keys of course) which is why I'm skeptical of them allowing it.

Just a heads up - they banned for the Starcraft II multi monitor fix, and that was simply a res launcher - no injection or anything. [reportedly by one user atleast, I never got banned, but I have not updated it because of that one person]

That being said, I too will investigate and fix where possible, if I get banned I get banned, I've waiting a long time for this game and I'm going to play it with it looking proper on multi-screen.

Wait!!! You get banned in SINGLE player? if you are playing it on 3 Screens? or are they talking about the multiplayer? Multiplayer is CO-OP in D3 right? not PvP or am I wrong?

If that is the case it sux on Blizzard and their policies are weird... Still I will give it a try and see what happens.

synergic · Post by **synergic** » 25 Apr 2012, 15:52

There is no single player in D3 - the game requires a constant internet connection to play.

Post by **helifax** » 25 Apr 2012, 18:38

Hmm,

Might as well wait for a "fix" for that:))) I am sure some friends will manage to make it work on any PC without Internet:))

Is the Beta still active? even in Europe?

Kinematic9 · Post by **Kinematic9** » 25 Apr 2012, 20:01

It's still active for those who received beta invites prior to the open beta.

works for me on the starter edition in fullscreen windowed mode 4320*900 in perfect hor+ :)

how are you guys getting it to run in portrait eyefinity/surround? It auto defaults to 1024x768 and I can't change it :(

Post by **Cinnabuns** » 29 May 2012, 22:02

So it seems the patch today (or last night?) has broken the marvelous Widescreen Fixer app compatability.

Widescreen fixer no longer works with the patched game and needs updated as of today 5/29/2012.

Booo to Blizzard! :(

Really sucks cause the "windowed mode" still works across three monitors but the framerate is ballzack.

Was 60fps locked never lower with the fix... now its stutter city in a window.... thank you blizzard.

Is there any update on Blizzard allowing the widerscreen fixer yet? Has anyone gotten ban for using it? Does the fixer center the shops and inventory to the middle monitor, because I am breaking my neck trying to play this game on surround vision. lol!
