Hello, as the title says I'm having problem with the setup of triplescreen high resolution.

I can run it in the lower resolution 4800 x 1200, but that looks so ugly :wink:
I have tried both DirectX 9 and 11, with no success :neutral:

It says it runs out of memory, is that because it's only a 32-bit exe?
Here is the msg I recive:

If that is due to the 32-bit exe, is there any plans on going for a 64-bit exe?


Edit:
Specs

i7 6700K
32 Gb RAM
R9 Fury X
Windows 10

    I have certainly run 7680x1440 in the past and it used to work. Might give it a shot again later and check for you, if i can be bothered to setup surround.

    I don't have XMP activated, and that seem weird. XMP is adjust the clock settings and memory speed, it should not affect programs.

    Well it's a memory error you're getting. I meant that after playing NS2, when I shut down windows, that type of error would pop up as it was shutting.

    It was weird. Stopped happening with Windows 10 upgrade

    Just for the fun of it, have you verified your files with steam?

    Triple screen user here. I have the exact same problem. If I edit %appdata%\Natural Selection 2\system_options.xml I can get into the main menu and play NS2.

    Currently using
    <x-resolution>3096</x-resolution>
    <y-resolution>768</y-resolution>
    Anything larger than that crashes.

    Ok I finally tested this, confirmed crashing at 7680x1440 and I know it USED to work.

    This is from a year ago though.

    Maybe the recent changes to UI scaling over 1080p caused it?

    *bump* no fix in the new update. Do I need to submit a full bug report for an instacrash?

    Same problem here trying triple monitors at 5760x1080. I have been out of action in NS2 for a while and was trying to get it out for a spin. Sadly surprised by this issue. Any idea if the devs have acknowledged and if this is going to get fixed?

    @kEnder242 @Viajero
    Thanks for the questions, but unfortunately I have some bad news.
    Just parroting @Obraxis here from what he said the other day : I do not believe multi monitor support is a priority for now
    Sorry :-/
