I just tried my multi-monitor setup with Hitman: Absolution.

At first I thought everything was perfect. I started the tutorial mission and the three monitors were working. The narrator then applied two guages to the bottom right of my center screen. WOAH... in business!

Then I realized that all my textures were black!! There was no detail. It wasn't the sun blocking the detail as I thought, it actually wasn't rendering properly.

I changed to 1920x1080 and it worked just fine.


It seems they did implement multiple monitor support however some sort of weird issue happening. Could be unique to my machine.

Let me know if anyone else tried it out.

I believe this is a known problem and was also present in de sniper challenge demo. HaYDen is on a business trip, but was planning on trying to fix this issue when he comes back.

I've only done the benchmark and played through the first few minutes of the tutorial so far, but it's working for me without any issues. It's got a proper 6048x1080 bezel compensated resolution and centered HUD running on 2 HD 7950s with 12.6 drivers.

*Edit: I was getting some pretty bad tearing on my center screen until I disabled "Exclusive Fullscreen" from the Launcher Options.

Are you using an Nvidia or ATI card?

He said he is using 7950's, so...

Yeah, I am using Nvidia 670's so... most likely the issue is unique to Nvidia.

Seems there is a new driver for Hitman!

See if it fixes it. They say it is essential... so I assume that could be the issue I am seeing.

Same issue occurs.



After some more testing, it seems if I put everything to lowest settings in a window(however still full resolution) it seems to work.

I will continue playing around for a workaround. This game is also terrible when it comes to optimization... at lowest level I am only getting about 70fps on benchmark at 5760x1080.

Compared with BO2 which I get about 135 fps with everything turned on full.

Hopefully some patches come out soon. Might have to sell my 670's and get two 690's LOL



Final Edit - Seems that if you uncheck 'full screen' and 'Exclusive Fullscreen' in the options, it works properly. The strange thing is if I leave the resolution to 'full' then it doesn't create a window, it is still full screen.

Anyways, works now. Will play. *cough* The game is gorgeous.

Yeah, that new beta driver for Nvidia cards added the Hitman: Absolution SLI profile.

Guess it didn't have one before?

I'll be curious to get these in and see if any performance benefit.

I'm running 2x gtx570's here and I unchecked "Exclusive Fullscreen" and running all High options with FX AA and game ran fine.

Triple monitor, nice centered HUD, etc.

Framerate left a bit to be desired but I suppose that's par for the course unless the game wasn't using both cards.

Be interesting to see if these betas improve the framerate at all. Currently running driver v295.73 so go figure.

Hey,

I also using 3 monitors with my GTX 670 Nvidia card with the latest beta drivers (310.61), but I noticed that the game doesn't uses the bezel resolution that I configured in the Nvidia control panal. I set the resolution in the game to the bezel one (6080X3240) but the image doesn't transforming properly to the other screens. I changed the resolution to the standard 5760X3240 and the game display the image the same.

Anyone knows how it can be fixed? or maybe it's a bug in the game or in nvidia drivers?

Thank you.

Any resolution to this?

Running 3 LG 23" monitors on a GTX 680 using NVIDIA Surround and most recent released drivers. Performance doesn't appear to be an issue as there is no framerate issues, just a lot of things not being rendered intermittently and showing up black.

Other games run fine with my config.

I know this topic is old but I have a huge backlog of games to play and only just feel like giving hitman a try now. I can't find anyone else having a similar issue. When I run the game in surround (7680x1440, 670 3GB SLI) the image on the two side monitors seems to be delayed. Like I will move on the center monitor and half a second later the sides will catch up, never seen anything like it. It's also terribly laggy, getting about 23 fps, and turning the settings down from ultra to medium or even low doesn't change the framerate at all, it's unplayable. Meanwhile if I change it to just one monitor it's fine at 60fps. Could this be a driver issue, I'm using 320.18.

I also just got around to installing this game, with my new GTX 780 at stock and max/ultra 5040x1050, the game stutters. Enabled the overclock 862 -> 1100 and it smooths out and is playable. No artifacts, but some in between transition sequences slow to a slideshow for 5-10 seconds then gameplay resumes normally (the short scenes where you bust through a door or window in between gameplay).

Running beta drivers 326.19.

Game needs more save location options, but other than that, is pretty challenging.

I played through the entire thing at 5760 x 1080 on a single 7950. Never had any problems at all. It does do triple wide very nicely.

Just got around to installing Far Cry 3, and it makes me wish Hitman Absolution had done the same open world setup, run sub-missions in the order you want, with free roaming ability. After playing Far Cry 3 all weekend, I don't think I will go back to Hitman Absolution again, just so limiting on the micro-levels.

Does any1 else have this problem?

I can't use fullscreen.. or well I can but game won't go to full screen (all 3 screens ofc), it will only use middle screen.. and menu screen is like squeezed or smthing... I have tried different drivers, different settings in game and using only surround monitors without accessory monitor but nothing is working..

your game is not hitman absolution.
it's hitman sniper challenge and don't work on 3 screens.
