Can't seem to get this to work right because the game has physical limitations. I tried in Fullscreen while using SoftTH because Eyefinity doesn't like displays that aren't the same resolution and putting the DLL in any directory didn't make it recognize the multi-monitor solution. Then I tried Windowed mode using these settings in user.ini:

Code:
support_aspect_ratio_custom = true
   window_height = 1160
   window_width = 3960


And got tons of black area on the sides of my screen. I don't know what's causing this, but it seems to be something in the game itself limiting the amount of draw distance horizontally. Here's the rest of what I've got for anyone that might know how to fix it.
Code:

   [Engine.Render]
   adapter = -1
   anisotropic = 1
   default_brightness = 0.138000
   default_contrast = 0.946001
   default_contrast_range_low = 0.09
   default_display_conversion = box
   default_gamma = 1.0
   dist_fade_duration = 0.5
   dist_fade_in_range = 40.0
   dist_fade_out_range = 45.0
   effects_quality = 2
   full_screen = 0
   full_screen_height = 1280
   full_screen_width = 3968
   motion_blur_enable = 1
   msaa = 2
   s3d_ar_multiplier = 1.3
   shader_quality = 2
   shadow_quality = 7
   support_aspect_ratio_16_10 = false
   support_aspect_ratio_4_3 = false
   support_aspect_ratio_custom = true
   texture_quality = 4096
   vsync = 1
   window_height = 1160
   window_width = 3960

Apparantly.. there is a patch for this that will auto update through steam.

I am still having this trouble however, as i am using a *cough*cracked*cough* version.

if anyone knows how to fix it without the patch it would be awsome.

Auto-update through Steam? Isn't that a good thing? Like won't that means I could try now?

Hi!

I think you are use too big height resolution. But the idea for windowed mode is very useful. And NO vsync! Try it:

full_screen_height = 1024 or 1050 or 1200
full_screen_width = 3960
vsync = 0
window_height = 1024 or 1050 or 1200
window_width = 3960
support_aspect_ratio_16_10 = true
support_aspect_ratio_4_3 = true
support_aspect_ratio_custom = true

Are you able to run DS3 in multi-monitor mode with fullscreen?

Unfortunately not. But set the window size equal with the fullscreen resolution and the game experience will be equal to the fullscreen mode.

Thanks for posting the solution Trixan, could you pelase provide some comparison screenshots (4:3, 16:10, 16:9 and multi monitor) so we could create a Detailed Report and add this game to the master game list, including your solution ? :onethumb

Eyefinity works out of the box (I'm running at 6048x1080) centred HUD and everything - feel free to use to use screenshots from my Steam account and PM me if you want some more

Full-screen, and with v-sync off as I'm not getting any tearing that I've noticed.
