I don't think you can customize the inventory or level up your characters while you are in triple monitor resolution, which basically means you'd have to swap resolutions between every missions in single player.

Also I was playing coop and couldn't switch resolutions without disconnecting from the other player because they didn't let you edit your options in the campaign screen. Far too aggravating.

The game itself is good though, worth getting the THQ Pack at 50% off on Steam if you don't have most of those games already.

I would wait for chaos rising and see if they offer a nice combo-deal, though 50% off is definitely worth it.

I prefer portrait for competitive play. With a camera-zoom mod, I can view half a 1v1 map. Its quite an advantage against TS 35s+

Camera mod and competitive play don't seem like they would go along hand-in-hand.

Zoom mods have been around for CoH, which has a far more competitive community. Nobody seemed to have put a stop to that either, despite it being FAR more advantageous in that game.

DoW2 takes alot of up-close micro, and being zoomed out too far makes that really difficult. The game also has artificial limits to FoV, and units will disappear if zoomed out too much, or be obscured in fog.

It helps for sure, just not as much as I hoped.

Are you guys having any kind of frame rate issues? My framerate would drop all the way down to 8-9 fps and stay there (from the normal 40-50 fps). Sometimes ALT-TAB out and back in recovers the framerate, sometimes it recovers by itself. But then it will happen randomly again. Anyone knows anything about this issue?

I wouldn't mind coming back to this game to finish off the SP Campaign if they ever fixed the squad screen in multimon.

There was something in the patchlogs saying something was fixed for eyefinity, but I never noticed anything in MP. It might be a SP thing.
