Guild Wars 2

Hello all,

Like most of todays setup I run a system with 3 + 1 monitors. This allows me to play video games on my center monitor while in nvidia surround mode, read forums or news on the left, check some of the system stats on the right and change my music and watch a movie on my TV.

With guild wars 2, this is the only game I am having troubles setting it right.

My problem is, “Borderless fullscreen” is trash for me. Most of the games I play are smart in a way which automatically centers a 1920×1080 borderless window on my nvidia surround (6030×1080) desktop which works awesome. However, in guild wars 2 this “borderless fullscreen” takes all of my 3 monitors which I do NOT want. I want to be able to customize the borderless offset and resolution if possible like all other games do.

I have tried window borderless gaming and borderless gaming programs but both do not work for GW2.

Can you guys do something about this? thanks.

I was gonna send you 1000g but i dont think its gonna solve your problem.

Your game stretches across three screens with that mode on?

It sounds like this is a direct result of your nVidia Surround settings, as without it, GW stays comfortably on one monitor. Have you tried turning off the nVidia setting?

Palindrome has a point. I run 2 monitors myself, and windowless never spans both monitors.

nVidia Surround (I think) works by convincing your computer that your 3 screens are in fact one large screen. I’ve used the ATI version to run GW2 on 3 screens, though my computer is now having a harder time keeping up so I keep it to one.
So the only way I can think of to run it only on the middle screen would be in Windowed mode.

Turning Surround off will likely correct the issue, though I don’t know what else may be dependent on that.

And man, a thousand gold, I wish I had a tenth of your understanding of the economic stuff. And maybe a tenth of your money to work with lol
