Hey Community :wave: ,
I'm new here but the widescreen gaming forum has helped me out multiple times before! Thanks guys :clap:
However, I have a specific problem with the game "Family Guy - Back to the Multiverse" (http://www.metacritic.com/game/pc/family-guy-back-to-the-multiverse):
I use two monitors via AMD Eyefinity with a resolution of 3840x1080. Many games work perfectly on both monitors, I just have to select the right resolution and it usually works. Not so with the new Family Guy game, which would be perfect to play in Coop with one monitor for each player!
But when I launch the game, it ALWAYS, even with Eyefinity on launches CLONED on both screens, which cannot be changed in the Settings. So the maximum resolution remains 1920x1080 (in Fullscreen and Window Mode). I looked for a config or .ini file containing the resolution value, but couldn't find one.
Anyone of you with a similar problem or who knows a fix or workaround for it?
Thanks :)

Wow, it works!! Thanks very much for the quick answer! I looked for a registry entry but couldn't find one at first.
Only downpoint is that the HUD doesn't scale, so the crosshair is on the wrong position.
Not that big of a problem, but any idea if that would be fixable too?
Anyway, thanks again! :)
