i see random background flashes, thats really burning my eyes out.......

except this it runs great on eyefinity, just edit the gamepref file to your resolution

Looks like a nice setup. Hope you find a lot of fun hours in that game I tried the beta it never called to me for some reason

Looks good. Is the FOV correct in it? Is it -vert? I also have been playing it, but the computer it's installed on ATM doesn't have a TH2G or EyeFinity capability so I can't test it out for multi-display playability yet.

The FOV seems ok to me, but these flashes i show in Picture 1 + 2 are really headblowing......
These two pictures are the same cameraview, i only changed the angle a bit, and BAAMMM! " :shock: OH GOD MY EYES ARE FALLING OUT :shock: !!!!!!" ^^
It is so bright that i could lighten my complete room with it.

Until this is fixed i stay with one monitor......

BTW in the game you can change the HUB the way you like it, very usefull at triplescreen.

Triple screen really helps when trying to broadside with a cruiser class ship (or any ship with a beam loadout). With a single screen, your target is usually off screen when you are maneuvering to keep him in your broadside arc. With triple screen, you can actually see him (and watch your shots actually hit which is always fun).

But yah, I played beta and didn't think the game was worth the pickup. The ship combat was fun tho.

I never had screen flashes in eyefinity playing STO. I did stop at the end of the beta though. Maybe they broke something with a patch. I was using 9.12 hotfix driver at first which was working well with the game. I then updated to 8.70 RC2 which also worked well and unlocked in game AA which was locked for the 9.12.

The game works really nicely in eyefinity / multi monitor. The aspect ratio is calculated properly and the fov is perfect.

How did you do that? I got Error Message when i want play it in FULLSCREEN on my 3 22 " @ 5970 HD.

first i got an error, too.

-i deleted the C:UsersGortDesktopCryptic StudiosStar Trek OnlineLiveLocaldatagemaprefs
and start the game in singlemonitor
-setup the game you want it to be (but not the resolution, only the details etc....)
-close the game
-got to C:UsersGortDesktopCryptic StudiosStar Trek OnlineLiveLocaldatagameprefs
-edit to your final resolution and start eyefinity
-start the game

no problem here

I can't find any config file for editing the ingame resolution, i only found a GamePrefs.PREF in C:Program Files (x86)Cryptic Studioslocaldata

Edit: ok, i found it^^

Both STO and Eve work good with triplehead. I really prefer Eve gameplay more though. I have active accounts on both games. STO is a little too casual gaming for my likes but I love the Star Trek theme.

I got STO to work with SoftTH, but i have a small issue:
There is always the Windows sandglass-cursoricon instead of the STO-Cursoricon.
But i think that only happens with Windows XP and SoftTH.

It probably has something to do with utility injection. I also have cursor issues with NTHUSIM and STO. Other than that, no real problems.

Have been playing this game since Open Beta. Once I got the 3x1 Eyefinity setup, it's been quite a fun ride!

And, yes, you can change/reorganize the HUD to your own liking.

Presently, I'm at Rear Admiral/3 and about halfway to /4.
