Guild Wars 2

Thank you for the update Bill. It is great to hear there are some changes coming for this. I will be testing for you with every login.

Cant wait to see my hat and boots at selection screen.

@MaxTwelve: Interesting… Eyefinity? My char select screen looks quite a bit different (Surround). At least I can see my head and feet lol.

Thanks for the update Bill, very nice to see updates without us having to keep bumping the posts!

And my login screen looks just like yours deltaconnected, nVidia surround here as well.

Thanks for the update Bill really have been waiting for the nvidia surround fix to play the game. Not that i can’t play without it but just kills the fun of playing that every time i get to a cut scene I have to change my resolution just so I can see the cut scene without the characters heads being cut off or whole thing stretched out really killed the mood of feeling part of the world when it looks like gumby is talking to me in every few minutes and feels so smalls and lack luster playing it on just one of my 3 28inch monitors. Cheers for you guys getting it fixed with everything else I am sure you are working on.

@deltaconnected No I use 5760×1080 Surround and windowed full screen. If you look at the original post on this thread there are some of the examples depending on if you run in each of the selection choices.

My eyefinity set up presents similar to that – but I am using Flawless Widescreen just now until the AN fix arrives.

Didn’t see anything mentioned in today’s patch notes, but the screenshots speak for themselves. No more sumo characters and party/chat centered. Haven’t had a chance to find a cutscene yet, but I’ve got a feeling those are covered too.

Dunno about the beer, but I’ll buy gem-equivalent
+1 for Bill.

w00t for the fixed chatbox!!!

Cutscenes work on middle screen now too. Not perfect (more or less 4:3 on a 16:9 screen), but at least I can watch them now.

Thanks for the fixes ArenaNet

No change to Surround, Windowed Full screen character selection. No change in cut-scenes either.

Edit: Tried full screen but it inhibits my AltTab’ing, and at UI=Large the whole setup gets shifted to the right. Delta I use 2 gtx570’s .

Yea, windowed hasn’t changed. I’ve never seen my 580’s dip below 50% usage, so I’m surprised you’re able to pull that off on a single card.

Both of these images are Full Screen 5760×1080 with Large UI selection.

In the character selection screen the offset to the right is hard to see in a screenshot, but the bezel for the center and right monitors run through the map completions badge.

Logged into the game, the character would be normally centered over the health bubble, but is now to the left over the number one skill. Also the Quest dialog box at the top is partially obscured by being placed too high.

Oh snap, I had almost forgotten about this thread until I thought “gee I wonder if there’s anything new on this.” I’ll have to admit I’ve been busy getting my Mage to 90 in “that other game” so I haven’t really checked in since the last build. Will have to check this out tonight though, if that chat box is fixed I might just have to send a case of beer down to the Seattle office…proper Canadian Beer no less.

I have been trying to get my 3 screens working and all problems i have are here. Gotta keep an eye on this thread.

Yup, the UI placement issues are fixed. Sweet zombie Jesus I love you so much right now undisclosed game designers who fixed this problem for us.

Apart from the camera fix, nothing seems to have changed at all for me. Still have chat and map on the far corners of the UI.

I presume everyone reporting that they’re ‘fixed’ is using Surround and not Eyefinity?

Hi all,

Just an update!

I have eyefinity at 3*1 with resolution 6040*1080 and had UI placement issues as seen below (Att.).

Just took a new screenie a few minutes ago and the UI elements are on centre screen.

To help

Nvidia Surround, ui placements still not correct. They went from being to far right to being to far left now. So i guess it got fixed in eyefinity only?

I’m on a 5760×1080 Eyefinity setup on a 6950 with the latest drivers from AMD, but I’m still getting the UI on the outside monitors of a 3*1 setup. Is there anything in the options you need to change?

5760×1080, nVidia Surround fullscreen (not windowed). 3x GTX580s with 306.23. Didn’t have to change anything, logged in and good to go.

Im running 2x GTX 570s 306.23 5760×1080 and still have ui not on center screen

If it still doesn’t work in fullscreen, which I see it doesn’t, then idk. Maybe delete/rename local.dat (under my docs/guild wars 2/) to reset in-game settings, reset the GW2 profile (dunno if the newer AMDs have this yet. I use all defaults in nVidia), reinstall drivers with a little praying.

Ill give this a try tonight an let you know, ill take screens too and upload. Im using default nvidia settings as well.

I am also a little confused on your picture. With that picture it seems everything is shifted to the right. It doesn’t look centered on the middle screen.

When posting your updates to this thread I suggest everyone add the following details. Each of the display settings can cause differences, such as full screen with large interface, causes UI right offset for me. So having these noted in each post will show a more clear picture of what the player base has in common.

Hardware/Software

• Graphics Card/Cards
• Driver Version
• Number of Monitors
• Native Resolution

Game Settings

• Display Resolution Setting
• Display Interface Size

if anything they should allow you to move the chat and party elements to where you want them anyway for all screen sizes not just for multiscreen support.

Top one was fullscreen – everything lined up where it should be. Bottom was windowed – still off to the left.

Tri-SLI GTX580
306.23 (16xAF forced in nvcpl)
3x 1920×1080
5760×1080 no bezel correction

Display resolution – 5760×1080 Fullscreen
Display interface – normal

Fixed!

I did what deltaconnected said. I first made a copy of my local.dat. I then deleted it and let it re-download it (this happens just by starting the game). After that everything is centered. I think its caching some information so when the fix comes in its not seeing it.

Didn’t have to manually clear settings on mine, but I have a feeling this should help everyone else who still has it stuck on the left after the update

“I’ve just run into this news:
http://www.wsgf.org/news/ncsoft-updates-nvidia-surround-support-guild-wars-2
Any chance that we will see something similar for Eyefinity as well?
Also are there any further plans for improving performance or everything is at it’s max?
Asking because I’m running in eyefinity 6048×1080 on 2x ati hd 7970 in crossfire, on an i7 OCat 4.4Ghz.
Just for comparison battle field 3 runs with everything at ultra without any problems while I’m getting big FPS hit when shaders are at high. Lowering shaders improves things quite a bit but I was kinda expecting to see fully smooth play at everything at max with this configuration. Also to add everything is running from 2 SSD drives in raid 0.”

Just got opinted to this thread so I’m copy pasting my post on other one hoping for some help here as well.
Tried deleting couple times no luck.

2x hd7970 crossfire
catalyst 12.8, latest croffireX profile cap.. something forgot exact version
3x 1920×1080
6048×1080 bezel correction
Display resolution – 6048×1080 Fullscreen
Display interface – normal

I just setup eyefinity (love it), is there any trick to getting the centered text/etc to work on ATI (game flag, etc)? I tried deleting my Local.dat but it didn’t change anything.

I just found this thread. When I loaded up the game just now, the UI was still stretched across all three screens, and on character select my character was way zoomed in.

I’m using a 7970, with three 1920×1200 monitors. Are there options or something somewhere to make the HUD centered on one monitor?

I’m still getting the issue with the cut scenes and character creation clipping the top and (presumably) the bottom of the characters off when using Eyefinity on 3 monitors. Although hilarious to see 2 Norn chests having a conversation, given their typical height, I can’t help but find it annoying. At least it’s not game breaking. In fact, I never even noticed on my Asura Engineer. Just looked like 2 profiled Asura having a conversation.

Any updates on where this is on the priority list?

Nvidia Surround – Issue with UI placement.
The issue still exists on “Windowed Fullscreen” where the map/quests/chat/party tables are thrown at the far right and far left screens.

A suggestion to give users the option to unlock and lock the map/quests/chat/party tables so they can place them where they desire.

Also another issue this will solve is the scaling issues from small/large/largest shifts the entire UI off.

Note to UI programmer: do not forget to have the option for users to reset the UI to default in the event of them misplacing something where it is difficult to move.

Anyone that couldn’t launch gw2 in 4320×2560 here that doesn’t have the problem anymore ? I can’t play with that resolution :s

I am having the same issue as most people here; The select screen character is zoomed in and the UI is placed on the right and left monitors.

My set up is:

1090t at 3.8ghz
7850 OCed at 1050 mhz
8GB ram
Res = 5940 × 1080

Any news from Anet on this issue?

Hmm, I don’t seem to have this issue. I did have a similar issue when I first started using surround, but I found the key to be changing the UI scale size to normal. I haven’t played in a few week but last I remember the only one that fit correctly to the middle screen was normal size. I remember I had it larger when I first started surround up and stuff was off the screen and all out of whack, but UI normal size works.

Bump….I mean, hey! I have an update!

We’ve got fixes for 3D, Nvidia Surround and AMD Eyefinity coming down the pipe in the next few builds.

I believe the next build will contain fixes for 3D, including the inability to launch with 3D enabled. I’m not 100% sure, but we have some fixes for Nvidia Surround in the works too and might even slip a couple of those in that build, too.

We’ll be continuing to hammer away and get these issues all resolved. Thanks for hanging in there everyone!

Bill, it’s been 5 months. When are the AMD/ATI users gonna get some love and have the Eyefinity issues fixed?

And no, FWS is not an option.

Im experiencing this problem STILL. Running triple monitor off of a ATI Radeon 6870OC. I deleted the local.dat, updated all drivers, and am still experiencing game play issues described above.

Has there been a resolution to this?

Any updates to these problems?

I’d love it if they’d just throw in a command line switch, like they did when the POV testing was done, to force it to run like the nVidia solution for ATI. Even if it was considered an “unsupported” feature, it’d be a step up over what it is right now.

Multiple hotfix’s and still no resolution to this issue?? Come on peoples.. I’d like to actually see my cut scenes!

I’d love to see some fixes for this. It’s actually pretty sad that these posts are 6 months old and haven’t had any fixes for AMD users yet. Nvidia has the UI fix, why not us?

I have 3 1080p monitors in portrait on nvidia surround sli with titans.. this issue hasn’t been fixed yet.

May I make a suggestion? In order to avoid coding for every surround resolution, can’t we just have a moveable UI for the 5 or 6 static windows on the screen.

Any updates regarding this issue? Ive read countless forums but i still cant find the solution. Im using AMD 7970.

Set the preferred monitor to the center one
Play on full screen 5760×1080 tried full screen window as well
Set interface size between small/med/larg/larger

Tempting to Dlownload “flawless widescreen” but i hear that you can get banned for it.

*Character selection/cutscreen — See only the Torsal

• UI stretches across 3 monitors. (neck hurts for a year now)

T_T frustrating but the game is soo fun. Help please
