Certified?

I know you're asking cranky, but there are no blemishes and no DR omissions, so yes.

i have three 1920x1200 screens and i get the option for eyefinity, but it appears to be very stretched horizontally, and not at all like the screen shots shown in the report.

any idea why this is happening, and how to correct it?

Post by **scavvenjahh** » 07 Dec 2010, 16:51

In the graphics options, make sure to set Aspect Ratio to Normal.

cheers, but i either get 16:10 or 5:3, and both are distorted.

is this normal, or a known error?

Post by **scavvenjahh** » 08 Dec 2010, 12:55

There's definitely something wrong. I have 4:3, 16:10, 16:9, 5:3 and Normal to choose from. Maybe you can try a manual edit, here's what my config file looks like:

DocumentsMy GamesDiRT2hardwaresettingshardware_settings_config.xml

[list]aspect="normal" fullscreen="true" vsync="0" multisampling="4xmsaa">[/list:u]

If that doesn't help, try deleting hardware_settings_info.xml to force the game to re-detect all display modes available to your system.

cheers, is this possible with the steam version of the game?

Jedibeeftrix · Post by **Jedibeeftrix** » 08 Dec 2010, 19:32

I've just picked this up in the steam sale - and I've got a problem.

I'm running 6040x1080, and my hud is spanned, not centered. Because of this, I can't see any details, and I end up not knowing a lot of things.

Has anyone else had this problem?

Thanks

Right, discovered the issue - the HUD uses all three screens and isn't centered if you use a bezel corrected resolution, mine being 6040x1080

Wow, I don't remember it behaving like this with Eyefinity, but I just re-tried it then on my Nvidia Surround setup and you're absolutely right.

Post by **scavvenjahh** » 30 Jul 2012, 13:38

That's because you can't divide 6040 by 3. Try a bezel-compensated width that's divisible by 3, e.g 6030 or 6060.

I tried a bezel correct resolution of 6000x1080 and it did not work either, however it worked at 5760x1080. I don't remember having this issue when I played through the first time, though.

Oh noes, did Codies break something that was working earlier again ? :~
