They lied about triple screen support

[Fliimsy]

It was confirmed that triple screen ''support'' will be exactly as it is in DR2.0, a stretched image over all three monitors. I literally ordered triple monitors and the mounting kit for my rig the moment that i read it would have triple screen support. devastated is an understatement. sure i can still enjoy them with AC and iracing (which i really do) but come the f@#k on dude, forget for a minute that they announced triple screen support, and have it plastered on the store page that it is supported, how do you make a ''racing sim'' in 2023 and not by default have triple screen support that all the other sims, Pcars2, AC, ACC, iRacing, R3E, Rfactor2, and beamng have?!! Simply unforgivable and am seriously considering canceling my preorder.

I feel like there will be a lot of players who are disappointed with this. As a rally addict I've lost hype for this title and don't have too much faith in what they're going to pump out.

I feel for you with the rally addict part, dirt3 / dirt rally 1 with a controller was my launching pad for my sim racing addiction in general. maybe with enough outcry they will fix it but i doubt it

They probably too dumb to understand what "triple screen support" actually means. typical console developers that probably don't even play PC games..

they've obviously never played, or looked at other sims and looked in the settings to at least try to bring some of those standard features into their game.

This is a known info since september 28th. The screenshot posted on reddit was taken from the article posted here: https://steamcommunity.com/app/1849250/discussions/0/3887226396788935749/

The EA/CM community manager has replied in the Reddit thread that he has forwarded the feedback, so let's hope. I'm still wondering how they'd think they could get away with this.

I don't think they will change the way triple screen support is handled in the game. It's not that easy to change from this to a proper triples support. They should have started with that thought in mind from the very beginning of development stage. Now it's too late IMO.

This will backfire massively on CM/EA when you see videos like this being posted now

Be constructive with feedback on it.

As it seems allot of sims will be based on UE into the future. Which should help the issues get more attention and focus from epic.

[Hofstadter]

Yes, it will backfire for sure if they don't change what they are advertising at the store front page.

Oh the bright side of things, if a real rally driver like Louise Cook can race with "improper" triple screen support without complaining, I think most of us can do that too.

Yeah it is very very disappointing, and also very misleading and straight up lying. Don’t write triple screen support as a feature if you are just stretching the image like 100% can do.

The engine already supports multiple viewports. Assetto Corsa has real triple screen support which uses Unreal.

It's quite pathetic... especially when you have games like Project Cars that have some of the best options when it comes to triple screen and a ton of other PC features (and great telemetry!) yet it's not classified as a "simulator".. meanwhile...

Louise was chasing a world record ghost on that previous video by the way. You say "most of us dont play in hood cam". You would be surprised by the ammount of people that prefer that camera.

But of course EA shouldn't advertise triples support on the game's page if they don't have it in the game. It's a lie indeed.

Lots of people prefer bonnet because it gives an edge vs cockpit cameras. Specially when trying to get every second off from times.

- u can see front corners of the car unrealistically well -> can get tightest lines in corners without hitting stuff
- A-pillar (left pillar in LHD, right pillar in RHD) doesn't come into play and block some of visibility when getting sideways -> and getting extra sideways can be very beneficial timewise in Dirt Rally 2.0
- u get rid of rain and moving wipers in rain, no blocked visibility due to fact wiper can't reach every spot on windshield, in rain visibility out from drivers door window is very limited

Solberg's (Petter+Oliver) preferred 3rd person camera in DR2.0 to see movement of the rear of the car since without motion rig u can't feel rotation speed (I guess seeing it happen helps). Of course 3rd person is located very high up giving also extra visibility to ahead and to sides.

And VR gives crazy good depth perception also giving an edge compared to a flat screen (even to triples with proper adjustments). Even watching VR stream of Dirt Rally 2.0 gameplay I can see the difference, like corners look so less severe (steep) than they appear on my 32:9 superultrawide display. Some VR players still use bonnet view to get an extra edge (for Time Trial etc) and see front corners better in very narrow stages like Argentina, Greece, New Zealand partially is very slow&narrow.

If you use anything but cockpit it's cheating :)
