I’m having issues with an overlapping UI while running the game in fullscreen mode at 3600×1920 (non-bezel corrected), or at any bezel corrected resolution in Nvidia Surround. All elements of the UI seem to be constrained to the dimensions of the center panel.

Additionally, the map only fills up the center monitor.

Examples:

As you can see, the chat box overlaps the hotbar. I can fix this by relocating the chat box to the top left hand corner of the screen, but the location isn’t optimal.

Here, you can see the map only filling the center panel display.

Switching to fullscreen windowed mode fixes the problem, however, at a severe performance cost. I can only assume this disables SLI (i’m running two GTX 680’s in SLI)

Any ideas or suggestions for a fix?

Interesting

Luckily, I know exactly what’s going on here. I actually just spent a couple days refining our support for triple monitor setups. I’ll make a note for myself to ensure my changes also resolve this issue.

I realize this is a year old, and I hate to bump it, but since this was acknowledged a while back I figured I’d ask… was this ever fixed?
Maybe I’m just missing a new setting somewhere, but I’m having this same/similar problem with nvidia surround (landscape 4:3)… The chat screen is not overlapping, but it now goes above the hotbar, which really just makes it more in the way… Is it not possible to move this to one of the side monitors? I understand there was an opposite problem before, but it baffles me that the chat window can only be placed in “fixed” locations, and the side monitors were left out.
