Yeah the menu / interfaces all seem to be a mix between the overlay flash menu and the rendered 3d items.

Both of which are jacked up =/

[Oz]

wake up helifax, its time to wake up and save the world by posting your fix...........Ring Ring.......Ring Ring.........

[CILLER]

It is getting close, as both haYden as helifax are very close to a working fix.

I need to get myself to waiting, but it is hard :P I want to play so badly

Wow, lots of progress over the night. I'm glad to know that there are at least a few players out there that are even more peeved than I am. Bethesda's response above is right on par with my expectations. You know, these guys were over the top with Morrowind, the PC version was great. Then Oblivi-llout was just a touch over the edge for console clunky... Play a few hours of Stalker then play Fallout and it feels like a Fisher-Price toy in comparison. Now this? Visually, it is mediocre and hardly a step above Oblivion. They shouldn't have bothered. The response may as well have read "We don't support pain-in-the-neck PC gaming. Go buy a console if you want to play Skyrim!" This is the most expensive title I've ever bought on release. It's a little bit personal after dropping the cash for the video cards and triple-wide, then forking over such an obscene retail price for the game. Now I remember why test-driving with a pirate copy is such a good idea, that way I could try before I buy. And to you copyright police, I do buy when I intend to play a game through. If I were not so excited about this release... I should have known better. Shame on you, Bethesda.

Thank you everyone for your efforts, I'm dying to dump this single screen non-sense and get back into 3x1 :) Looking promising so far!

I GIVE YOU SKYRIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!![/b] (almost FIXED!!!!)

Congrats helifax ! ;)

OK, this worked. I copied that INI to my INI and it worked, now I have the menu all zoomed in. really disappointing. also running the New Beta Drivers as well. whats up with the two hottest games this year not really supporting Surround Views.

Thats nice, the menu solution should be out soon, please keep checking WSGF. :onethumb

Not quite happy with it yet, still a few bugs.

A perfectionist as always eh ? :cheers

Good morning everyone!

Nice!!! I am wondering...what happens if we combine our two fixes...into one! Maybe we can get the menu centered...and unstreached!!!

I already found a problem with my stretched menus..that you are unable to read any book...they are so close to screen that you cannot actually see the text only the pages(like they are un-written):))

[Pixelsalt]

I am really exited about this fix :party:
also, I am new to the forum, hello!

[morfinx]

Hi guys, I haven't read through the whole thread, so I might be repeating what someone else has said already. Portrait EF works fine for me (3600x1920) once I went into the ini file and set a custom resolution. There is something weird though: near the bottom of my screen, there is a permanent "LEVEL UP" phrase that cannot be clicked and never goes away. See screenshot:



Anyone experienced something like this?

[Spyle311]

Maybe you just need to hit TAB and level up?

[Oz]

OOOOOH im at the stage in the game where i have to kill my 1st dragon, yes its still early in the game, but i have been delaying it cus im playing on 1 monitor at the moment and i want to play on 3 screens. the solution must be close now......

[tcat92]

Bummed with everyone else that Eyefinity isn't supported, and totally disappointed with Bethesda. Glad there is a fix forthcoming and many thanks to the gurus, Helifax and Hayden, and others who work on these fixes. Can't wait for THIS fix, holding off on starting the game. Best of luck and God's Speed.

[Oz]

Tip for you whilst waiting for the gods to sort this problem that Betisda couldnt be bothered to do, is to have a go at the crafting skills like alchemy, or even do some sub quests. it gives you a good headstart when you get into the main questline.

[CILLER]

I know it will give me headstart, bit it is so much less immersive. Even for simple things like crafting.
The biggest problem I have is that it completely annoys me while playing on a single screen. It just feels so wrong to give a great game like this just one screen when you have three.

[vernacular]

The menus are working with the temporary.exe fix, but it's cutting off the bottom stats. I thought it was my bezel correction, but it still does it without a bezel corrected resolution. This is with nVidia Surround btw.

If Hayden can get the inventory object previews, books and lock-picking to zoom out showing these things correctly in addition to the HUD and menu fixes I would be pleased. It sucks that you guys have to do Bethesda's job.

Also, it's running in DirectX9, I thought this game was supposed to support DirectX11??

[Gimpylung]

No, in fairness, Bethesda never claimed it would be running in anything above Dx9

[Oz]

whats happening guys? its seem to have gone all quiet for a bit, just us chatting about this mod/patch/update whatever you want to callit, to be released.

[CILLER]

I am really hoping for a patch release in the upcoming hours.
The screen shots from HaYden looked like a very playable fix. Only the 3d elements on screen in the menu's didn't work well.
Hopefully he can sort that out soon.
Maybe HaYDeN and helifax are working together to get the last issues out of the way.
I certainly do hope it will be ready soon.

[Cat Toaster]

guess it will be released when it's done. Those guys are doing the game developers job, just for free and it's obviously not so simple. Whithout proper CAPs from AMD the game isn't that much enjoyable in Eyefinity-Resolutions at all performancewise so I play without Crossfire and Eyefinity meanwhile.
