    Hello.

    I have been wondering if it is possible to play rf2 with 3 screens, of which 2 have a different resolution from the main monitor:
    1 x 1920 x 1080 (center monitor)
    2 x 1024 x 768 (side monitors)

    The "Multi Monitor" option in the settings is grayed out. Trying to put on nvidia surround does not work, as it cuts the center monitor's viewport and does not give me the full available width.

    Looking at softth, the software seems to be no longer maintained and only working until dx9.

    I know, this might not be the best idea to play on such a setup, but would it be possible after all? If so, how could i accomplish that.

    In rFactor 2\UserData, config_dx11.ini, try something like this:
    Code:
    //[[gMa1.002f (c)2016    ]] [[            ]]
    [COMPONENTS]
    LanguagesFile=ENGLISH.DIC

    LeftView=(0.539, 0.340, 0.600, 12.600, 0.017)

    MinimumVidRes=(800, 600)
    MaximumVidRes=(99999, 99999)
    
    [INSTALL]
    InstallFrom=
    InstallTo=
    
    [AUTOLAUNCH]
    Mode=Off
    LaunchTime=600
    
    [VERSION]
    Version=-1.000000
    It may work, it may not, I've only ever used softth with different sized monitors.

    Thanks for your reply. I guess you where referring to

    CustomVidRes=(3968, 1080)


    If so, this didn't work.
    Would you recommend to try softth even if it seems pretty old and unmaintained?

    I don't see any other option if the config didn't work.
