Eyefinity and Nvidia Surround

[Javier]

have the devs mentioned anything about optimization for multi-monitor setups? Anyone else using multi-monitor setup? right now it just stretches the entire window to fit and it looks terrible.

yea COD has never supperted Eyefinity or Nvidia Surround you alway have to resort to runing a 3rd party aspect ratio correction utill such as

Flawless Widescreen @ www.flawlesswidescreen.org/ or Widescreen Fixer @ www.widescreenfixer.org/

both work well only draw back is waiting for updates but these people fix what the developers seem to be incompentant to fix them selfs and help us to enjoy our the games we love in ultra widescreen formats :D

Apparently I cant share the Flawless Widescreen URL in these forums :(
so here is a google search http://lmgtfy.com/?q=flawless+widescreen

There are more than a few drawbacks using either Flawless Widescreen or Widescreen Fixer. Every time there is an update it usually breaks the 3rd party surround utility and you will have to wait sometimes weeks or even months for it to get fixed just for it to get broken by another multiplayer update. Additionally it rarely works without mangling things like HUD and between match menus. Advanced Warfare actually had support for Nvidia Surround after an update, which I appreciated because for a while I had to wait for Widescreen Fixer to update every time I wanted to play the game. Being reduced to one screen is like putting blinders on a horse... I can't stand it and refuse to play until it's fixed. And although it's never happened before that I know of, there is the possibility that the developers could VAC ban you for cheating by using either Flawless Widescreen or Widescreen Fixer.

As far as I know Flawless Widescreen never supported Advance Warfare. Widescreen Fixer did, but lagged behind each update by weeks, sometimes allowing you to play for about a week out of an entire month.

I WILL NOT buy this game if it doesn't support Nvidea Surround in a native fashion. I understand it might not be perfect, like in Advanced Warfare the in game menu was scaled to the screen width making the menus unusably large, but it would be better than paying a hundred bucks for a video game I can only play half the time because it doesn't support my equipment. I wouldn't complain about a few funky menus or slightly cut off HUD elements so long as I could run it at 5880x1080.

Some people use surround sound headsets and can hear bullets with pinpoint accuracy... Some people use hundred dollar gaming mice and some people have three 1080p monitors wrapped around their face. Some people have a radeon and a 256kbps DSL connection, and some people have two or three 980's SLI'd and a fibreoptic backbone with 20ms ping. This is the PC gaming world. If I wanted to be relegated to one monitor I'd buy a PS4 or Xbox. At least then I wouldn't have to deal with aimbots, a lack of players and other such game breaking madness.

Advance Warfare was terrible. I like what I see from Black Ops III, but I won't dump money into something that can't do surround. Hashtag deal-breaker, capisce?

OK, wait a minute... I just read that Treyarch said it will do splitscreen multiplayer online and will even split it up between two monitors so me and my wife can play at the same time and each have our own monitor.

Hands down best CoD ever. I will be preordering it this friday. I would even order two copies if I had to.

Have you tried playing in windowed mode and extending the window to all your monitors by dragging the edges?

Ive been using WidescreenFixer in the past but they havent been updating quick enough to be a good alternative. Dont understand why COD cant build the support into the game like Battlefield 4 and many other games!!!!

Well after how many games now and they have been asked for it on twitter / facebook / forums not to mention many angry emails most would just call it lazzy

Any official word on the lack of the triple monitor support?

[Javier]

I played a few matches on my triple monitor setup and it wasn't too bad. Campain and zombies is good on triple monitors but i do prefer playing on a single monitor for multiplayer.
