Suround Screen gaming:

[Bikerdude]

Evening

 

I have borrowed a friend's monitor to test out tri-screen eyefinity on my HD5870, I want to test RTTC at 5040*1050 and see whats its like... he he he ...

 

I know some got TDMN working on 3 screens, but I cant get ot to play nice, whats the settings in the autoexec file thats needs etc..?

If all of them are merged in a single group (or extended desktop) it should just be a matter of putting a custom resolution which covers all three. Done it with my second display a few times, don't see why it wouldnt work there

I guess you'd also have to change fov in order to make it look right.

Still got this problem Biker?

 

First step, is to make a display group with all 3 monitors and get that setup with the Catalyst Control Centre

Then, you edit your \doom 3\base\autoexec.cfg file to have

 

r_mode -1

r_customWidth 5040

r_customHeight 1050

 

 

r_mode -1 = nonstandard aspect ratio, the other two set the parameters to use.

dosent work, the game needs a hack to fix the aspect ration as its showup the wrong 4:3 aspect ratio in-game. And I dont have 3 monitors anymore, asd the third was borrowed from a friend etc.

But do you have still two monitors? Then you could still test f.i. a "2:1" aspect ratio resolution if I create code that support such resolutions?

[Bikerdude]

Yes. I have 2 monitors so I can do testing only. At 3360*1050 I am fairly sure that doom3 will exhibit the same aspect bug as it did at 5040*1050. Than if your hack works I can borrow my mates monitor again..

To make sure I'm understanding this properly, from what you typed either

 

1> You put in the autoexec.cfg those lines, and the ingame menu says 4:3 but it is clearly running at the specified parameters resolution values,

 

OR

 

2> You put in the autoexec.cfg those lines, it is actually running at 4:3, and the other monitors are either inactive, or mirroring the one displaying, which results in the same picture 3 times.

 

 

in the case of #1, ignore what the menu tells you

in the case of #2, your display group may not be active, configured properly, or configured at all
