Skyrim Multi-Monitor User Interface Fix Discussion

[Falcon1]

[quote]Awesome @Hayden!

As always, fix works pretty well here. I hope the book thing will get sorted out, as for some quests you are required to read books or scrolls or whatever.

BUT... One huge disadvantage... Dunno if this can be fixed... The game map. The Icons of the locations are all on the main screen... You can click them and everything works, but it isn't linked to the actual map...

Eh, does it really matter though? I saw that and I wasn't even sure whether that was the way it was to begin with. I mean you've got the compass directions and a general sense of where it is; the topography isn't going to change your tactics anyway.

Well, yes, it does matter to some point. You can make your own marker/waypoint to memorize a certain point... which is quite difficult. Besides that it doesn't look that good and you don't really get an idea of how far this is away etc.
As said, it is playable, but a bit of a "flaw".

However I discovered that with Hayden's fix... Skyrim crashes very often for me. Especially when fast travelling. Dunno what's causing this. Went back to Single-Screen gaming, because it was unplayable this way.

I managed to fix the reading book things:) with a trainer:) for my solution:) So now..there shouldn't be any problems with the game:

- All menus work properly
- Map is working properly (BTW Falcon1 you cannot fix the map in 3x resolution unless you either scale the hud to fit 3d Screens or scale the map to fit only center screen which will break the game..tried that...that is why I choose the "stretch" menu approach)
- BOOKS CAN BE PROPERLY READ (with trainer mod)
- BOW zooming works
- NO CRASHES SO FAR on GTX 590 with 3D SURROUND...(I ALSO DID NOTICE texture corruption on Hayden's tool, but not on my solution)
- NO wierd loading menus or text unreadable etc

All I have to do now is create a single tool instead of a bunch of assembly scripts and memory hack/locations editing, etc...

PS: you cannot fix the "book reading" without breaking the menus...so you have to toggle between reading books and using menus....

Best Regards,

helifax

Well, that's good news.

Though... I don't want to goof on your efforts with this. I appreciate it! But, I guess we really need a UI rework once the Mod-Tools are out, to have a "final" solution. Kind of annoying :(

My last hope for a "sooner than later" proper solution is, that Bethesda gets off their lame asses and fixed this. I have good hopes that they are working on the menues, as many gamers complain about it... And I hope they will do a Multi-Mon fix then! I know... I'm a dreamer... But hope is the last thing that dies ;)

Well yeah!! I also hope that!! This game should have had support for Eyefinity/Surround from the 1st time!!! But better late than never!!!!
Oh, and BWT some people offered to donate for the fix... All I can say is :

Thank you I appreciate the thought! But I think if you really want to donate you should donate to the website and forum. I, for one, am not doing this for the donations or other things! I am doing it because I want to play the game as best as possible, I want to learn new things, and I want to help this "niche" community of 3X users (as the market refers to us).

So I thank you for the fact that you thought about donating and that work should not go un-rewarded...but I am, like most of you, "just" a hardcore game that..well likes games:)) (My wife is going to kill me soon :)) )

I hope this put a smile on your face:D

I'm playing without bezel comp (Nvidia) and it doesn't bother me at all. In some games it's more annoying than others - most of all in sims where your cockpit stretches across multiple monitors - but this I barely even notice.

[ugzz]

thank you so much for the effort, its guys like you and hayden that keep the community alive.

anxiously waiting for the latest..
and as for the toggle, if thems the brakes, then thems the brakes! ill take a toggle over no fix at all!

What pisses me off is bethesda will be using this engine for fallout 4, so yeah it kind of makes sense to futureproof it.

it just boggles my mind to think that no one at thier studio uses multimon, or hasn't even bothered to talk to ati or nvidia about this market of gamers that use multimon.

if you had the game source code and were a programmer, it would probably take all of day or 2 to get this implemented.

The UI designer at Bethesda seriously needs to get the ass.

This is probably the same clown, that worked on fallout 3

[Intangible]

Heya,

I was using Hayden's version but noticed the icons for looting were squished and almost unreadable. Is everyone having that issue?


Thanks.

Helifax you have put a giant smile on my face, and I thank you...you are a gentleman and a scholar :P So where is your fix? Are we just waiting for you to put it into one tool, as you posted previously? Or have I missed the link? Thank you again, and if you wont accept any offerings I will indeed donate to the web site. cheers.

I must not be thinking right due to stroke a year back.
But I cannot figure out how to get this game to work on my screens 5760x1080
I have read all the posts in this forum on this

I will take a screen shot later.

This is what is happening with Haydens: Menu works - but my 3rd screen looks normal everything else is zoomed and unplayable. I walk to the right when i press forward. The people in it look slanted also .... UGHHH
Helifax; i cannot get anything to work.
Someone please help me out I will try to follow the best i can. Due to my stroke I dont get stuff right away so please have patience..


thanks,

Thank you so much to everyone who has worked on this thread, while proving once again that the community ends up doing the developer's jobs for them.

I've tried out HaYDeN's latest fix, amazing. Everything is centered! Now, the only thing missing is being able to read books, and being able to "inspect" inventory items, and possibly un-stretching the constellations in the skills menu. And that's it! Everything is almost perfect.

Thanks again guys!

[wt73]

ok pretty sure I got this right, FIrst I go into the INI file and change it for my res (5760x1080) save the ini and leave that. then I start HaYDeN's fix tool. Divide my Res by 3 so (1920) then start the tool.. Then I launch the game from folder which is called TESV.exe . did I miss anything...

I didn't have to modify my .ini files for Hayden's fix. Run as Admin and lower your settings to high or medium if it doesn't work
And for me, changing to setting in Hayden's fix from 1920 to 1963 also worked well. I run 6048x1080 normally and 5760x1080 w/out bezel comp

[krezy]

have tried both of the fixes (temporary one and skyrimuw) neither one worked for my setup. still get slanted and shadows all messed . did get the menu centered. can someone please help

have been following the forum and have tried everything that has been discussed so far still wont work, am kind of lost and really need help. thanks

[frankyman]

Mine was also slanted, try deleting your SkyrimPrefs.ini and then reopening the launcher and launch the game without changing any options etc. I found that if I changed to "ultra" straight up, the slanting occurred, but if I just let the game do it's default, the game ran normally... from there I was able to go back into the prefs upon the next launch and turn everything in the "advanced" section to max and it worked fine. Give that a go?

With HaYDeN's fix the menus are much better, thanks! The inability to read books is a bit of a letdown, but I'm sure this will be fixed soon. I am also experiencing a few CTDs, when exiting a town and fast travelling etc, probably happens about 1 in 10 times. This had never occurred before I applied the fix, but I was running on one screen then too. Thanks for the fix, keep up the good work!

[krezy]

hey i gave that a try too and still no luck getting it un slanted its driving me mad lol really want to play the game on surround

thanks for the tip tho but still no luck

[Spyle311]

Hayden your fix is great! Played for about 3hrs with it, no crashes. Wish I could read books and the map better but other than that it's really nice! Thanks again!

I had to make an account here to say the same thing. Thank you HaYDeN, your fix is working great except for the books. I'm running 5960x1080 bezel corrected and other than the books everything works perfect. Last night the game was unplayable and I woke up this morning and tried HaYDeN's fix, entered 1986 for the offset and It's worked great all day.

[Amon Amarth]

Just something I've noticed, and sorry if it's been mentioned already: I seem to crash to the desktop very frequently with HaYDeN's fix. Is this normal? Any way to fix it?
