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!

u can see a little further in landscape wide screen, and just higher res and a bit bigger with portrait IMO. Its not really made for multi monitor so in landscape alot of it is dark and some backgrounds are missing on the sides. Still a good experience.

After playing in both Portrait and Landscape, I would say Portrait looks much better

I was playing till yesterday on single screen but I thought I'd give it a try with the full screen windowed mode. I play at 6036x1080 with a 7970.

It is playable, it adds to the immersity and also you can see a lot more on the sides, such as where to go, extra monsters that havent seen you yet etc.

What I dont like is that you miss the chat, some friends were talking to me and I wasnt seeing anything. If you are trading/selling/repairing you have to move the mouse all the way from the left screen to the right and vice versa and its annoying.
Also the minimap is on the far right which is annoying as sometimes when you are close to a waypoint it will blink and you wont see it.

I am really disappointed in blizzard, why they dont add support for this great game when its 90% done anyway, all is missing is some menus etc.

Really?

Well as a portrait mode user, I am happy to hear that. I thought something was being messed up due to me using Portait mode :)

A few questions about Diablo 3 here.

So what I'm getting is the wsf is only for ppl using 3D @ 5760 X 1080p ?

Crossfire is not working with the resolution set to window mode @ 5760 X 1080p?

Crossfire is not working when you go into the ini and set the resolution to 5760 X 1080p?

Is there a way to run 5760 X 1080p Eyefinity and get crossfire to work?

yes, you can use Hayden's Flawless Widescreen Fixer. You have to set the in game video options to fullscreen (not fullscreen windowed), and depending on your monitor setup you will need to adjust the settings on the flawless widescreen fixer ui itself (such as 3x1 monitors). I still use the changed config file b/c I was having an occasional white out blink on my active DP port monitor when using this program in game. Otherwise, worked great, but you still can't change position of in game ui (such as chat box,inventory etc).

I have some good news for Helifax and HaYDeN, the first round of bans went out for Diablo 3 today with the launch of the RMAH. I have used both of your guys fixes and I did NOT get banned. I am curious to see if any one else might have been, but as far as I can tell it's clear sailing.

EDIT: There seems to be a new update too. *le sigh*

Hey guys, curious if we are going to get an update for the latest release or if your still waiting on it since the RMAH hasn't launched in the UK yet.

edit: nm for some reason i had to reload the fix from hayden for it to get the newest ver.

I checked it last evening. I didn't see any updates in Europe yet. I also saw dopefish updated the plugin with the latest release of WSF. Isn't that one working for you?

Both Flawless Widescreen and Widescreen Fixer have been updated and are working with v1.0.2.9991 so take you're pick.

Grazie! :)

in the status window in flawless i am always since the update getting

Base address x 800000, process ID -> 3700, Auto detected version -> UNSUPPORTED!

any suggestions? no luck with widescreen fixer either


Thanks

Hi -

I'm running an AMD 7970 and am wondering if anyone's been able to get Diablo 3 to run at 3600x1920? I've tried pretty much everything, including WSF and am at a loss. Here's what happens:

• You set up your Eyefinity desktop with 3x1 monitors in portrait, and the resolution is set at 3600x1920.


• If you try to launch D3, it automatically reverts to windowed mode, and the resolution is set to 1024x768.


• The arrows for the "Display" and "Resolution" settings are greyed out, so it is impossible to switch from windowed to Fullscreen, or to change the resolution.


• Editing the .cfg file does not change this - it gets rewritten each time you launch the game.

I had hoped that WSF would be a way to work around this problem, but apparently you have to get D3 to be in full-screen mode for WSF to work, and as stated above, when you have your setup in 3600x1920 it's impossible to change the Video setting to "Fullscreen," and so I'm not sure that WSF is going to fix this issue.

Anyone else having this problem? I haven't had any problems getting D3 to run in 3x1, 5760x1920, since in that configuration I'm able to change the "Display" and "Resolution" settings, and "Full-screen windowed" goes right to my desktop resolution and I don't even need to use WSF, but I think the game would look much better in portrait and it's really bugging me that I can't get it set up correctly.

Thanks for your help!
