Widescreen Gaming Forum

Thanks for the info guys. Unfortunately I can't afford to disable my 3 way SLI. I need all the power I can get with this game. If I was to run it in surround @8100x1600 with only 1 GPU being used it wouldn't be worth it anyway. I have 3x 780ti and when 3-way SLI and surround were both working (a month or so back I was using Flawless widescreen at it worked, but since recent updates it no longer works) I have to turn down settings just to make the game playable. So 1 GPU is not really an option for me. Thanks though

Interesting.. I posted the solution and apparently you can't be bothered to even read it... go then and disable your SLI or do whatever you want to do...

Thanks for your efforts Halifax. Tried your answer but alas to no avail.

The game simply stops and minimizes or crashes each time. The only way I can run the app is either 3D vision on a single monitor or Surround with no 3D vision on say the latest release of the NVidia driver. The game simply can not calculate the surround resolution (5760 x 1080) in FULLSCREEN mode - BORDERLESS, WINDOW not an issue but no 3D. So I'll need to pick one. I do run a GTX 690 (3D Vision + Surround) + GTX 590 (Auxilary + PhysX) so my config is somewhat unconventional (both cards run their respective internal SLI).

Again thank you.

Wow.. Interesting and weird config there;)) I didn't know if you read that thread since I had the impression you skipped my comment entirely I am sorry that it doesn't work for you.. Have you tried just to disable the 590 ? (Device manager -> disable) and see if that helps ?

Your post I certainly followed to the letter Halifax. It might have been the other fellow in this post.... What you mentioned in terms of disabling the 590 I planned to do as a matter of course when I can get around to gaming again. I'll post back.

SIDE COMMENT: The combination of the 690 + 590 works brilliantly 99.9% of the apps/games. I only introduced the 590 from an older now defunct PC when Nvidia screwed up having 4 monitors on a single card (690) where 3D Vision+Surround and an Aux screen could no longer co-exist. The last known working driver was 327.23 (raised the matter with them).

Instructions have been updated to clarify.

I forgot to come back and update this, but I got everything to basically work using the following settings, which might be a bit different that what we were thinking before?


"ScreenHeight" "1576.000000"
"ScreenWidth" "7670.000000"
"ScreenX" "-5.000000"
"ScreenY" "-27.000000"
"VSyncOnFlip" "0.000000"
"Windowed" "1.000000"
"WindowHeight" "1600.000000"
"WindowWidth" "7680.000000"

Everything was working fine until I unlocked the War chiefs. Now I can't see the 1st 2 rows of Sauron's army. If I alt-enter to windowed mode and turn off flawless I can use the screen, but this is a less than perfect workaround

@bkc6j, your numbers look about right, followed instructions correctly. ScreenH&W lower than WindowH&W, & ScreenX&Y negative offset. If your numbers are right, should give borderless full spread (assuming FWS is working). I hope FPS is playable, your LLL resolution is very high. If game chugs in windowed, you could spread it to a smaller width, see if you like it (i.e. image shaped like PLP).

Looks like there's a new shadow of mordor steam update that broke flawless.

Can anyone else confirm this?

Patch notes mention doing a better job detecting native resolution but I've tried everything and can't get it to work with nvidia surround (5760x1080)

Current workaround is to restore the previous application .EXE file.

Nope, the March 23 update didn't break anything on my end. Flawless still working great @6060x1200.
Do you get an error message on the FWS status window ?

No error message in FWS. The plugin detects the executable and displays like normal as if its working. What's weird is in game 100% now lists 1920x1080 where as with the old EXE it says 100% is 5760x1080. I wonder if maybe it works for you since your running a bezel compensation resolution. I've also tried locking the settings.cfg file to the nvidia surround resolution but the game still boots up in 1920x1080. I also remove the aspect ratio lock in the cfg file but no dice.

Time to start afresh, then. Here's what I'd do:
1) delete settings.cfg and render.cfg
2) obviously, set your desktop to 5760x1080
3) run the game in its purest form: updated exe, FWS off
4) do NOT alter video options at this point !
5) Alt+Tab out of the game and run FWS, all fixes checked
6) now bump the % up as needed.
Works for me at 5760x1200. If you're still stuck at 1920 after this, I'd say it's a bug worth reporting to the devs.

Thanks for your help scavvenjahh. I followed your steps and I still can't get it to work. If I ALT-TAB out of the game I cant get back in (black screen). So instead I ran the game in window mode at 1920x1080 so I can see FWS, Then I enable it and in the game I get options to set the resolution to 5760x1080 which works for window mode. As soon as I switch it to full screen, the side monitors turn off even though the settings still say Full Screen 5760x1080. Really weird. I filed a ticket with WB so I hope to hear back soon.

Any Luck with this Kiax?

I have the exact problem with Fullscreen. All other settings screen options are fine and uses 5760 x 1080. I'm even using a Titan X. I beginning to wonder if other Hardware configs are used to calculate Fullscreen and not just the Graphics card and its Settings.
