I just got this to work in 5040x1050. I'm posting it here for people who attempt searching for WoW and SoftTH. Note the softth files are copied into the main world of warcraft directory, and the config file you need to edit is in the WTF directory. Thanks to ithrial!

Paste this in there...also you have to change the start resolution in the config.WTF file in the wow folder to the 5040x1050 otherwise it wont start...Hope this helps...i Havent messed with the bezel managment yet...

what kind of framerate are you getting?

Can you post a pic of your computer and monitor setup and show it running wow?


Thanks and good work.

go to http://www.youtube.com and search for Ithrial. I have a video up displaying my surroud setup with me actually running around stormwind and shatt city...close ups on framerate and everything

Thanks! Did that and it was great.

Please see the many questions posted over on the screenshots thread you started.

any setting was wrong?
i have 2x 9600GT

thanks!

hooo after to config "WTF file in the wow folder to the 5040x1050" it's work very well.. thanks!

I'M fairly new to this... I saw some youtubes vids and decided to give it ago

Got 2 more monitors found a resolution tht would work on all of them...

I found it quite hard to set up lots of error along the way but trial and error got me there.

I've got BFG GTX 260 Maxcore and a 8800GT

Ive had It running at 3840 x 1204 averaging 50 - 60 fps (everything set to the highest it can be)

I've order 2 more 22inch monitors which should be here soon.

Problems ive found ;(

IF you alt tab out of wow you end with an error trying to go back into wow.
( this doesnt really bother me to much, just enoying really)

Wow does not seem to like swoping between resolution while in the game. so id recomend setting the starting resolution in the wtf config file to what ever you want it at. Before starting the game.

Not really play tested it yet so dont know any ingame buggs.

I'll let you know what kind of fps i get when i have 3 22inch running at 5040 x 1050 but tbh i canr see it strugling... i may have to drop the draw distance abit. But big deal look at it now..

Once again THX Ithrial. I could not have done it with out the config replcement.

Got the 2 monitor today set it up and set the resolution to 5040x1050.
Ive seen no loss in preformance and still have an fps between 50-60.

I't looks fantastic
