DIABLO THREE!

[Mixelplix]

Hey Helifax, I am not able to get the WSF with diablo 3 addon to work on Eyefinity setup? I have used it in the past for SWTOR pre 1.2 patch, and it worked great for me. I did alter the settings file for Diablo that was in some thread here to play it at my bezel comp. resolution, but I don't know if that would affect WSF from working or not.

[Mixelplix]

ok I got the WSF addon working, but I was under the impression that it also compressed the UI elements onto the center screen? If anyone played SWTOR pre 1.2 with the WSF program, you know what I mean. I am looking for a way to be able to move independently or forced the marginal elements of the Diablo UI as they are currently placed at the far ends of either side monitor.

[quote]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:)

Best Regards,

heee heee hooo heee hooo wheeeeee!!! kudos TO ME! fer not being a big whining crybaby and reading thru all the threads to git the answer and not feel entitled to have the info spoon fed to me when the awesome tools r free! ( well not exactly! please feel free to bug me about donation where donation is surely due! so lemme see thats a donation to dopefish and helifax and wsgf? to have all the bases covered? jeesh this might git expensive 8) ! )

What made it not so obvious fer me is that I would have thought that fullscreen would had been impossible therefore unituitive. Perhaps an admin really should post a glaring direction to choose fullscreen and NOT windowed fullscreen fer those that might not make it here? To fully give this tool the respect it deserves and support the widescreen community? Speaking of support did I miss an obvious Helifax paypal link?

Re: Starcrft Banning danger?

Even if there was the danger of ban Starcraft II is easily played offline and can simply be bypassed when an online check is called for fer startup right? In which case...
In light of no mo Flawless "fixed" would a widescreen fixer plug-in solution work as well as it did for diablo III. Nude pictures of my dear old grannys dusty bones fer as much!

and thanks again fer Diablo III in NV surround + 3D vision ( great performance with i7-980x gtx480 tri SLI ! )

I am very glad that it works for you and that you like it:) I made the plugin so other like me can get the benefit of playing the game in 3D Vision Surround:)

Kudos to the Escapist for actually having the balls to post a review. A shame almost every other big gaming site lacks the resources to do the same.

Does this count as a review?

Sadly, it is missing the obligatory reference to a brutal metacritic blurb.

[khanitez]

Are you guys getting high stuttering when exploring new areas? I seem to be getting it quite a bit, to the point where its practically unplayable.

[HaYDeN]

I have updated FWS - added Starcraft II and Diablo 3 (Resolution Launchers)

Use at your own risk, get it here Link

[Paradigm Shifter]

Just out of curiosity, have any of the Diablo 3 gamers on the WSGF fallen foul of the apparent SessionID 'hack' that appears to be plaguing the game at the minute?

I have not. I also have not opened or followed any link saying they are from Blizz support, even if it is something I initiated. I go to the site and login there, I got hacked once when I followed a linked for WoW thinking it was legit, never again. That was the first and last time I've been compromised like that and I shall not happen again, remember it isn't paranoia if some one is actually out to get your account!

Will Diablo 3 run in portrait Eyefinity/Surround with the Widescreen fixer?

I am thinking about flipping my screens around but I hear it scales the game down to 768 res when playing in portrait windowed mode? Would rather go full screen if the WS fixer supports it.

[Zodiak]

I am currently playing on 3x27 inch monitors in portrait mode @4320x2560, without the fix. The game appears to be really zoomed in at such a resolution and I wish that I could zoom out.

Since the fix I suppose is more for people in landscape mode, would it actually do anything to improve my experience?

[mr stroke]

How are you getting it to run in even that res. When I launch Diablo 3 it takes me to 1027x768 and I cant even change it :(

[ugzz]

im still not getting why people are not liking the fullscreen windowed mode, i saw one person say its for 3d mode, but diablo3 isnt even full 3d anyway, although it is supported. is it that good / worth it? Also there are a lot of people posting about using the fix, are "all" of you guys using 3d setups on a 3x1 config?

To those who keep asking how to change the res, the answer is that you don't. as long as you are using nvidia surround or the amd flavor so that your windows resolution is ONE res, and not 3 seperate ones, when you go to fullscreen windowed mode the resolution chooser greys out and it just uses your desktop resolution. At least on my nvidia 3x1 it does.

for me, fullscreen windowed is excellent. my view distance appears to be identical to 1x screen and everythign works great. Its a bummer i can't click on things outside the primary window, but thats fine. game looks and plays great. Although for the first time my sli rig actually had to turn the fans up (Set to auto), on 1x screen they stayed dead silent, i thought that was pretty funny heh.

I also want to note that while this works great (for now)! i really hope they don't "fix" it in a patch, and i have a BAD feeling that they will..
for now im enjoying the extra res as much as i can :D

[Zodiak]

I have 3x GTX 580s. I was simply enable to chose Fullscreen directy from the game's menu and then I selected the resolution. I dont know why it works for me but it just seems to right off the bat. Which is why I was wondering about the fix that people have been using around. Would it actually DO anything different for me? The ONLY thing that kind of bugs me right now is, at this resolution/aspect ratio/size of screen, the game appears pretty zoomed in, even though the zoom in feature wasnt on.

[ugzz]

is the zoom the same if you do fullscreen windowed like many of us have to do?
someone else said something about it feeling zoomed as well, i have no issues as you can see in my vid, but i am also only on 3840x1024 and i have found some games seem to like that res better than 5760

[Zodiak]

Yes the same level of Zoom or FoV seems to be the same between fullscreen and fullscreen windowed mode unfortunately. Is there a way to increase the FoV or level or zoom further or is that what the Fix is supposed to do?

I just noticed that if I take a screen grab with FRAPS, it says "3600x1920 JPEG" so I guess your right it its scales to my desktop res. Sucks that its in windowed, but better than nothing :)

[fodder]

Sorry for the question, I am missing somethign I guess. Can you see farther with the windowed fullscreen mode when it goes wide? Or does it make it higher resolution but keep the same field of view?

Thanks!
