Hello, so I am currently running a 3 monitor surround setup at 5760×1080. I am still running GW2 at 1920×1080 due to the problems with surround.

The issue that I’m running in to is that I am unable to use the other monitors for anything when playing the game. If I set it to run at 1920×1080 it blacks the 2 side monitors out. If I set it to windowed mode it runs at the full surround resolution.

Anyone know how I can run fullscreen windowed mode on the main monitor while leaving the side 2 open for browsing, monitoring etc?

For surround you need a 4th Accessory display for your non-gaming related stuff. When surround is enabled, literally the 3 surround displays act as one very large display. Or run the game in Windowed mode as opposed to Windowed Fullscreen but you’ll have the window frame around the edges.

I do understand that. What I mean is, for instance when playing the secret world I could run it windowed at 1920×1080 leaving this side monitors open. Wondering if its possible to set the window size in GW2 basically.

Use Windowed mode and just resize the frame like a normal window by dragging the corners.
