DIABLO THREE!

As a result of today's news that Australian retailer GAME has gone into administration, select GAME stores will not be receiving stock of Diablo III. Kotaku AU has just been informed that if you have a pre-order with a store not receiving Diablo III stock, no refunds will be provided.

I don't think I would last as a gamer in Australia.

What's actaully wrong with Fullscreen windowed? theres no border, unless im mistaken you can't tell the different between true full screen and fullscreen windowed, so unless they have removed this feature all is swell, minus the HUD, allowing the other resolutions will be nop or two if its really required, there are multiple checks tho within about 3 function calls. (based on the BETA before I left NZ)

Now that you ask...I will tell you...3D Vision Surround:) It only works in Fullscreen not an emulation of fullscreen:) and yes it is supported in windowed games and no is not supported in sli configurations...and since surround needs SLI no it will not work in Windowed fullscreen.:( This is the only damn reason I care about:(

PS: Although if you have a gtx 680 It might work on surround and 3d Vision surround since its one chip:) Need somebody to confirm this I guess:)

If it were up to me, I couldnt care less...except for the above mentioned ^_^

Eehm, sorry if someone already asked this, but if anyone with a box copy of Diablo 3 has one or two keys that he/she doesn't use, would you mind sending me those? I still haven't decided wether I should buy the game or not.

Your key is much appreciated!

I can only spare you 2 keys Moose, the other is bookmarked for a mate of mine just in case he wants it. PMing you now.

Props to Blizzard who are not having the best time atm.

Just because it can be done:) and 3D Vision Surround is now... a GO! Fullscreen Surround for the happy demon slaying ^_^

PS: How cool that you can play in Surround with 9 fps...that is really awesome since SLI and Crossfire is non existent in this game.......
and
OMMMMMGG...this game .... I cant believe I pre-order this...stuff.... a lot of years in dev and they give us this? for a premium sum...I hope blizzard dies and brinks back Blizzard North! the ones who actually made D1 & D2 since this...looks more like World of Diablo (and is poor) . I will stop ranting now:)) but seriously is bad that I can't give my copy away since I will definitively not play this...

As for the 3x screen support...maybe a couple of years from now? since Blizzard was focused on the Mac more than on SLI and CF.....:)

Has anyone found or is working on any way to make the UI customizable? I just have a hard time playing my games when the peripheral elements of the UI are flung out to the far end of each side monitor. I would imagine anyone else playing Diablo 3 with Eyefinity sees what I mean with the chat window etc.

i just today got my card setup, having issues and having to RMA but it was fun while it lasted.

Hello all,

Made a plugin for WSF. The implementation is safe don't worry:) It was tested with Fullscreen 3D Vision surround...so that works.
Haven't tested Eyefinity but should also work.

Let me know if it works out for you:)

Best Regards,
Helifax

Where do I put the plugin?

[ViciousXUSMC]

Got it guys, even though my CE was CXLED I found a local CE copy.

Here is my VLOG on how I got the game and the unboxing of the CE. Doing a give away for 4 guest passes on the video as well so if you know somebody that needs one send them there.






Also here is my form for Battle.Tags if you want to be on it, it will be going to WSGF also so going cross community.

My advice would be, to be cautious - the method is exactly the same for Starcraft II and users claimed to have gotten banned. (eg. assuming you re-write the resolution value with alt-tab causing it re-size the display surface)

Stating it is safe is a litlte reckless, we don't know what Blizzard check - potentially it may be, but we won't know till some time has passed.

In thoery if this would be banned, Fullscreen windowed would be banned - but yeah, Blizzard are absolutely anal about this kind of stuff.

[helifax]

Well I am using it:) if I will get banned.. I will get banned:) can buy anytime another copy... Still I never heard a legit user being banned for using a multi monitor fix for SC2.... If you can prove it/them I will believe them..until then...(people say alot of crap)...

PS: and it does support multi just not in fullscreen:)

Likin this attitude. :)

Helifax, do you have a current fix for SC2?

[Toothless Spoon]

Helifax you did it again my friend! I'm getting a solid 60 FPS in surround now and that's with the added FXAA and Ambient Occlusion on Quality setting! Great work! I agree with your comments about the support by Blizzard on this. I read the comment by some Blizzard official on the detailed report - and it just screams arrogance toward having a multi-monitor solution. Obviously he hasn't played multi-monitor or else I'm sure his view would be different!. Thanks again!

[Kayden]

Helifax, I got your fix last night and put it through it's paces a bit, it worked flawlessly. I did not get banned though if something happens I will let you know man. One thing I was a little confused on was if I still had to be running the Fullscreen Windowed or just regular Fullscreen, didn't take long to figure out but that should be clearer for those who read and do things verbatim.

Hey there:)

You need the game to be set to fullscreen and the same maximum resolution of one monitor as the one for 3 monitors: 1680x1050 for 5040x1050 (1680*3 = 5040).
Technically after you enabled the fix you can simply close WideScreen fixer:)

[Kayden]

Right, I was just saying you might want to update the instructions for those who wouldn't consider doing it because they do things verbatim and automatically think something is wrong and post one, when there isn't.

[helifax]

Aa in the plugin:)) right;)) copy paste error there:))))

[dopefish]

Closing Widescreen Fixer will call the plugins Disable() method which will revert any changes made.
