I realize the issues discussed here will be low on the priority list since only a small percentage of users utilize these features, but I wanted to collect anomalies folks are seeing with multi-monitor setups. Things are a bit better since beta, but some issues do still exist.

Here is my setup and a list of what I’m experiencing:
5760×1080 (3×1 monitors, 16:9, Fullscreen)
GPU: nVidia 690 GTX (Latest Drivers from nVidia.com)
Windows 7 x64

Issue 1:
In the character select screen, the character models are stretched and disproportional, displaying only on the center monitor.

Severity: Low
Workaround: None

Issue 2:
When creating a new character, the character model appears between the left-most monitor and the center monitor, causing the bezel to split the model into two. This makes it extremely difficult to customize characters.

Severity: Low
Workaround: Revert to single-monitor (1920×1080 resolution) before creating a character, then back to triple monitor (5760×1080 resolution) once in-game.

Issue 3:
In cutscenes, character models are split between bezels. The character that appears on the left side during a cutscene is split between the bezel of the left-most monitor and the center monitor, and the character on the right is split between the bezel of the right-most monitor and the center monitor.

Severity: Low
Workaround: None

Issue 4:
UI elements cannot be moved to the center screen. For example, if you click and drag on the chat box in the lower left corner of the left-most monitor, outlined boxes appear in the center screen indicating these are areas where the chat box can be placed. However, the user in unable to do so.

Severity: Low
Workaround: None

Feel free to add your observations.

Hi all,

Phenom II x6, 12GB mem, Corsair Force GT SSD, Kingston SSD, ATI Radeon HD 5850(2GB), 3 hanns G 24 inch widescreen and a partridge in a pear tree!

1,2 and3 same or similar. 4 same.

Workaround? Not really a workaround but I’m using Flawless Widescreen (Hayden) and it improves play for me and my eyefinity rig (as said in other thread).

Some guy online wrote that AN are working on a wide screen gaming fix but I cannot verify that. Hayden is said to be working on improving FW for GW2 – again cannot verify.

Here’s hoping for a perma fix!

No rig in my sig? Only posted if needed!
