3 Monitor Setup

[CotDawg88]

Hey everyone.

Looking for some help please. I have new 3 monitor setup but my screens are duplicating on all 3 screens instead of working as 1 so to speak.

I have installed eyefinity for my AMD graphics card and it works fine with construction simulator but I can't seem to figure out where I'm going wrong with ETS2.

Does anyone know where I'm going wrong? Thanks

1) You must enable Eyefinity to join your monitors as one. If all the monitors are the same type (size/resolution) this should be easy.

2) You must enable multimonitor mode for ETS2
* Find the file config.cfg (<user profile>\Documents\Euro Truck Simulator 2\)
* Edit the line:

uset r_multimon_mode "2"

Mode 2 assumes you have three similar monitors and want to span your view across them equally.

First time you launch the game after that set your monitor resolution in-game to cover the entire span (for example three FHD monitors would be 5760x1080)

*NOTE: The game main menu is always shown only in the "middle" monitor, so don't worry about that.

That should get you started.

There are more advanced controls in the same file for more adjustments

uset r_multimon_exterior_in_aux "0"
uset r_multimon_interior_in_main "1"
uset r_multimon_rotation_aux "0"
uset r_multimon_rotation_right "0"
uset r_multimon_rotation_left "0"
uset r_multimon_rotation_center "0"
uset r_multimon_vert_offset_right "0"
uset r_multimon_vert_offset_left "0"
uset r_multimon_border_fov_right "0"
uset r_multimon_border_fov_left "0"
uset r_multimon_fov_vertical "0"
uset r_multimon_fov_horizontal "0"

But default "0" options work fine for me. If you do not "hard set" options here the usual in-game "seat adjustment" FOV slider is available. Border_fov is for bezel correction should you need it.

There is even a completely configurable option (mode 4) that uses a separate multimon_config.sii for setup. You typically don't need to use that unless you have even more monitors or they are of different size or orientation.

Personally, I made it simpler! Using Nvidia to glue my 3 screens and in the game settings, I increased the size of the screens by multiplying the width by 3

Might work (basically telling the game you have and ultra-ultra wide monitor).

But does that not produce extreme warping on the side edges due to fov? That is what happens to me (AMD) if I don't set multimon mode.

I have 2 identical monitors on each side and 1 slightly bigger monitor in the middle. All 3 are same brand though (Acer).

When i play const. sim or even red dead the 3 screens work perfectly, but for some reason in ets2 when i first load up the game, the start up main menu appears on all 3 screens and that is what has me stumped? Even after going into config and changing the settings, it doesnt seem to make any difference?

If the setup wasn't working for any game i play i would admit that its me that's doing something wrong but like i said, other games are working bang on, its just ets2 for some reason???

Hmm. so same picture on all three screens?

Is NVidia Surround/AMD Eyefinity span enabled?

Hehe!! Joys of a single UWD monitor

Ok so it turns out i got sorted eventually. After going over all my eyefinity settings a couple of times and finding nothing wrong, i went down the "multiply the width x 3" route and its now perfect.

Just want to say thanks to everyone who took the time to help me out, i really appreciate it. I recently sold my PS5 and built my own gaming PC. I really have a lot to learn yet, and to be honest, sometimes i regret my decision and miss the simplicity of console gaming, but then, when i figure out something new with the help of people on these forums, i see what drew me to change to PC gaming in the first place. When you know what you're doing and how to get the most out of your gaming, there really is no comparison between this and console.

Anyway, I'll continue to learn as i go.

Thanks again everyone.
