Triple monitor support?
Does anyone know if there's a way to get the proper FOV on 3 monitors? Native gameplay sucks pretty bad..

Haven't tried messing about in the .ini yet, but "out of the box" it would appear that triple-wide resolutions don't work. It allows me to set a resolution of 5880x1080, but it just seems to be stretching the 16:9 image to fill all 3 screens...

Any company producing AAA-style games for the PC and not implementing multi-monitor support, is just setting themselves up for failure. That segment of the gaming population (and the variable gaming viewport segment) are growing exponentially.

I've had a triple-wide setup for the past... 5 years, and have a difficult time ponying out money for expensive games that don't support >1 monitor.

Man this game looks terrible on my multi 3d moniter setup ! And the graphics look like there are straight from the 90's !

Okay, I got it displaying proper aspect ratio in 5760x1080 by switching to windowed mode. I'm trying to figure out a way to get it working properly in fullscreen because windowed mode doesn't seem to run as well (I'm running dual video cards)

Had to do this same trick in SWTOR when it first came out, before flawless widescreen released a fix. So hopefully that helps you play it for now.

Here are some screenshots of it working, I'm just in the very beginning so no major spoilers or anything here:

Yup you guys were right it does not scale correctly even in windowed mode for me its just the same with menus not aligned correctly noting works its a complete mess and im not going to be playing on a single screen.

Untill a patch is released or there is a widescreen fix from the comunity i wasted $23 lucky it was cheap and hopefully it gets fixed soon

Im sure some1 will do a fix for it soon, Im just playing on 1 moniter in 3D looks ok apart from the fact there is no dx11 which i find a bit odd, Hopefully there will be some graphical updates soon.

lols the months go by and none of the guys that make the tri screen fix's have released anything.

As I have not played it yet (due to lack of triple screens)
Was it realy that bad guys ?

I had to stop playing in that level where you control the enterprise and it's a shooting gallery. That level was just not formatted well for triple screen play, and I was getting bored by that point anyways, game is not the greatest.

Plus now I have ArmA 3 Beta (and previously alpha) and I have to say it's the most fun on triple screen you can get out of an FPS. And now that I've picked up a TrackIR 5, with the triple screens on ground or in the air, it's a joy! I was using FacetrackNoIR with a webcam and the kinect, but it's nowhere near as accurate, and TrackIR 5 allows you to smoke during the game without losing your face location like FacetrackNoIR. But at least FacetrackNoIR is free if you've got a webcam and gives you a chance to see what headtracking is all about.

Convinced me to drop the cash for a real device, and no regrets at all! :D
