Triple monitor angle support

[Calusari0]

Loved playing this through early access as each new bit of content came out.At first it was a struggle to get a correct FOV then CM came through and included it with proper seat adjustment. All was going well until.... I bought some extra monitors and went to triple.

I just can't get play it with the current superwide single rendered screen. The side monitors look awfull and actually give me motion sickness after a short period of play on tight twisty tracks and so I have just stopped and focussed fully back onto iRacing which, along with Assetto Corsa, is how triple screens should be supported.

I know it's probably not going to happen for this version of Dirt Rally but it side monitor angle support needs to be a priority for any new engine for future versions of the franchise. Serious console gamers are even starting to run triple setups so it's no longer just a hardcore PC thing.

Some will say it's your peripheral vision so not that important but when you run a correct FOV it's where you look when cornering. It may not be as much of an issue for them but for me it would rule out future investment in DLC or any sequels until proper triple support is implemented.

What are you talking about? Theres mod out there that fix that. Look up Racedepartement. I'v seen plenty of videos off youtube with ppl using a great triple screen setup with the right FOV, just like in Assetto.

Any srceen shot of your resulting setup?

Thats money !!

Can't find anything in Racedepartment that allows the 3 screens to be rendered seperately. Enhanced camera control mod still only renders one superwide image as it did all through develoment.

That video has the FOV wider than correct so that the side panels are used less and you can still see the distortion in them. Just see how the bottom of the front window doesnt continue straight onto the right panel and on longer straight sections you cn see the wall/barrier doing the same as it transitions onto the left panel.

If you run the side panels straight with the center panel the image is perfect however you loose viewable angle and I'm not moving my monitors every time I want to play DR and then back again for other games with proper support.

This explains the issue way better than I can. He is explaining why he won't run PCars but Dirt Rally has exactly the same problem.

This is a game created to be a console port. 3 monitors is a nerd or IT professional thing. Nobody without a serious investment into video games or IT work is going to own 3 monitors, so what you're asking for is a PC-only thing.

This is not a PC-only game and it was never designed to be.

Ahh OK! I understand what you mean now, no option to run the triple as 3 differents render so you can place your monitor at 60 degree angle to imitate an half circle just like the real thing. Well, I guess thats a matter of taste.. the good news is we wont have to worry about those when VR tech will be cheap and ready, performance wise :)

If you look at the left screen at 0:30, the mountains are coming close and going far away as the car slides left/right. I play on 3 screens and don`t notice this issue while playing. How bad this "effect" is, depends on your FOV and distance to the screen.

Cheers :)

If you play iracing you would notice it all the time.If its what you play all the time then I guess you are used to it.But it is not correct and that is the OP point.. If you ever play iracing you would see just what a 3screen render looks like.Its as close to real life as you can get.Yes vr people will disagree but im not strapping goggles onto my face to play a game!lol

That's not what we were told at the start of Early Access when the PC nerds were the ones doing all the testing and a console release was uncertain.

I genuinely wish Codemasters great success with the console releases and any future versions of Dirt Rally and will still recommend it to friends with consoles as it is a great game however this one feature lacking kills the immersion for me and as such means I just do not enjoy playing it any more or investing any more money into the series until this is implemented. When VR hits a reasonable price point I will most definitely return unless this is also seen as a PC only feature and given inadequate support.

After all these years did you ever find any good workarounds for triple screen setups? I've just started back in DR after many years away and now run triples and it is just terrible with the side screen warping.

I doubt it as DR2 has the same issue.

[2ndLastJedi]

So no mod for DR2 then either?
