Ok! Since people really want the menus to look nice and etc:)) this new version that a "key" bind that will make the menus on the center screen. BUT:

-----Centered HUD-----
- CENTERED HUD
- LEVEL-UP menu works
- Inventory works
- Map DOES NOT PROPERLY WORK
- Reading BOOKS (with the SAME warkaround)
- LOADING SCREEN PARTIALLY WORKS (texts are somehow...funny)
= Some WORK others DON'T

-----Stretched HUD-----
- STRETCHED HUD (NOT SO NICE)
- LEVEL-UP menu works
- Inventory works
- Map WORKS
- LOADING SCREEN WORKS (even TEXTS)
- Reading BOOKS (with the SAME warkaround)
= ALL WORK


Like before you will have to toggle between modes. TBH I wanted to do this without toggleing but too many things are broken and need re-fixing only to break something else....So I'm in a loop. This way everyone can have either CENTERED HUD or FULLY Functional STRETCHED HUD:D

KEYS:
numpad / - CENTERED HUD
numpad * - STRETCHED HUD
numpad - - Activate before ACTIVATING a BOOK

THE Game will start by default in CENTERED HUD. EACH mode can be switched at any moment(except for the Reading BOOK one). So if during loadscreen or when you are in MAP view you want a flawless display press the STRETCHED HUD key and everything will be readable, usable, etc

I also Include a small pic that describes how to SET YOUR CUSTOM RESOLUTION:


Modify only the RED FIELDS with your resolutions (1680 stands for SINGLE monitor resolution, 5040 STANDS for Eyefinity/SUrround resolution) DO NOT MODIFY ANYTHING ELSE OR IT WILL BREAK
Like before use it with CHEAT ENGINE 6.1 and select "YES TO ALL"

Now I am going to SKYrim since I haven't actually played the game until now:)))

Best Regards,
Helifax

EDIT: MINOR PROBLEM WITH THE FIX!!! WILL RE-UPLOAD

Fixed the CT table:) If you downloaded the previous CT table delete it. Instead use the one attached it!

Thales100:

Thats not an easy job to fix what developers havent cared to do, please lets show all our repect to these guys, there are thousands and thousands of lines and addresses that must be checked and tested before a way of fixing one single flaw happens, and fixing one flaw may break another, so getting a final 100% perfect solution, if possible, requires lots of time and persistence, you should ask this to Bethesda, that got your money, what level of precision can you expect from them in a future "maybe "patch that will add perfect multi-monitor support to this game, but not to HaYDeN and helifax, as they are doing 1- whats possible, 2- their best.

ABSOLUTELY.

From the mouths of the much appreciated coders volunteering their time trying to fix this, these issues could have been so easily avoided with the slightest consideration during development, and if missed, taken an hour's worth of work by the developers with access to the source code, development tools, etc.

This lazy port IS SHAMEFUL. Reminds me of all the positive reviews for the Netflix iphone app just based on the "novelty" of being able to stream movies to your phone, rather than the actual app itself (very buggy). Yes, Skyrim is going to be an awesome game, but in an industry that dwarfs the other industries earnings by multiples, Bethusda needs to be called out for this. The way they have handled it. The arrogant responses. SLI will "never be supported"? What? Might as well have placed a sticker on the package saying "runs best on Commodore 64".

This "charge the suckers full price for a lazy dragon-drop / point n port" culture needs to be opposed.

(you see what I did there? Cause I have no idea... )

First off hear hear, the only comments that should be going out to folks like helifax and hayden are thank you's and great job's because they are spending their time and effort to do what the lame ass developers can't be bothered to do. We can only be thankful we are lucky to have dedicated people that try and fix this stuff and share it with us all.

Secondly, did Bethesda really say SLI will "never be supported" because if so then they can shove it. I heard they said that they would never add support for Eyefinity/Surround for Skyrim and for that right there I won't buy anymore of their products. Because if that is their attitude for this game then I believe that will continue to be their attitude. Hell, if it wasn't for MMO's and folks like helifax and Hayden I would have ditched Eyefinity awhile ago and just gone to a large monitor/TV because the lack of support for Eyefinity/Surround and the "screw you" attitude of many developers nowadays is depressing and it is frustrating to sit around for days and weeks waiting for fixes or just breaking down and playing the game broken as it is. How sad is it that a lesser known developer like Volition can include full Eyefinity support for Saints Row the Third yet a big developer like Bethesda (or Activision or id Software) can't add support for it in their mega popular blockbuster game. If I was a game developer I would have a really small team that included Eyefinity/Surround support for a game.

And yes, the consolification of the gaming industry needs to go away and quit suppressing the PC as a gaming platform. Or better yet, maybe developers just need to stop being such arrogant, lazy, greedy unimaginative wankers and stop dogging on the platform which has been around longer and innovates better than any console.

Anyhow enough ranting I am looking forward to trying out your fix helifax and seeing what goodness Hayden is coming up with just as soon as AMD gets off their ass and gets a CAP out for Skyrim, because my 5970 is gimped until then and I might as well be playing Skyrim on my PS3.

OK, now I'm just getting pissed with this stupid game. The latest fix will load in CE but now the goddamn skyrim process won't load in CE......I'm about to toss my copy of skyrim out the damnned window.....

dont know if this has been mentioned before, idont have the time to read 77 pages :P
but when i use helifaxs trainer (Cheat Engine), everything just squeeze up to the left of my left side screen, what is the problem?
hope someone will read and reply this in all this mess :P

HELIFAX:

I think i broken something, all i did was use table editor to change tit to my resolution and from numkeys to f1 f2 f3, but not the onyl thing that works is the book fix, and the other 2 make all ui on lthe left screen only.

:(

What did I do wrong?

Fixed the CT table:) If you downloaded the previous CT table delete it. Instead use the one attached it!

Thank helifax, ive update the game's Detailed Report.

Hmm I noticed something interesting...If you are loading the CT table before the actual game...all the items are squashed in the inventory...
So it is better to load the game 1st and than ALT+TAB start the CT table and ALT+TAB back to the game!
Then use the numpad /,*,- to select the desired mode.

Kohan69 please use the "Generate Trainer function to change the keybindings of the resolutions"

U probably pressed the "-" key. That mode is used for reading books only.

When I spoke with Betesda tech support a few days ago they said that crossfire and eyefinity would never officially be supported. They made a point of also telling me that the same was true for Nvida sli/surround, so they are not discriminating here.

helifax is this set to a specific resolution "out the box" cus when i use it with my res of 5960/1080 the centre is off to the left split between the centre and left screen?

also you said you can change the resolution to whatever you want but erm......where all i can see is hotkeys, no resolution figures anywhere

Double-click on the binding and you can edit it...both the resolution value and the key bind:)

It's greyed out for me:

yes but if you click on the combobox and select "Set value to" it will be enabled again:) Also I see in your screenshot that your bind is now "/+LEFT WINDOWS KEY". Be careful to correct that:) and keep your keys clean:)

Any idea when or if Hayden still plans to release a fix for this game? I've tried and tried to no avail with cheat engine and either I can't get the game process to open in CE or the damn fix give me an error message. I'm done screwing with CE at this point and would greatly appreciate any info on if or when Hayden plans to release a complete fix.

Hi helifax,

Thank you for the awsome setup and your work so far. I manage to get the Centre and stretch perfect.. IN Centre view I could view the items and HUD all in one screen (SWEET!!!), and on the stretch the map looks perfect!! But I can't seem to get the book reading working. Everytime when I click on the shortkey '-' I get an error 'Access violation'. Even if I didn't change the READ BOOK setting I still get that..

This seems to cause an issue when I change the stretched HUD value. But if I don't, the icon within the map would be flowing and out of place.

My resolution is 6092x1080.

The Centre HUD I set the value to 2020
The Stretched HUD I set to 6092

What should I set the READ BOOK to in order to get that working as well?

Thanks in advice. And as always your help is greatly appreciated.

Helifax, I get the same thing but only when I use the book key, the others work just. I have verified the original file works just fine, but of course it's off center. I have tried generation my own for 5760x1080 with and without the game running. I have said "Yes to all" on both the original and the one I tried to create, so it should be loading just fine. I have also tried to edit the sections of the original with the number for my resolution, but it wont take effect in the game. I have tried everything I can think of man, sorry if this pulls you away from your game to answer this.

try clicking (after youve alt-tabbed out of the game) on the open process button (computer with a magnifying glass) and double check its linking to TESV,exe

I cleaned up my grammar a little to better bring my point across, but WSGF wouldn't let me edit my original post. )c:

EDIT: checking, and this one worked just fine. weird.

Hmm i switched to 1 monitor to read a note (schedule for a patrole), now i switched back to surround. Now everything seems to tilt abit towards the left.
Not to mutch, but just so mutch that its clipping Amount of money i get inn, and the quicksave text etc. Basicly everything that appears in the top left corner.

Anyone got a clue whats happend?

I went into the launcher settings and put it on 1920x1200 (got 3 cloned screens ingame), so i could read that schedule.
After i was done, saved exited and put it to default, so it would detect my eyefinity setting.

I've checked the skyrimPrefs that the resolution is set.
Any help would be much apprisiated.

Using Hayden's fix btw.
