Improved Multi-Monitor support!

[Daku_Naito]

As a Nvidia Surround user (5760x1080), I implore for a better multi-monitor experience. As far as user interface, which is not bad as of now, I'd like to be able to move the menu position rather then it be on the far right of my right monitor. As for graphics, I'd like a reduce in the stretching of the screen, maybe to the extent of no stretching at all. The problem is, when playing in a multi-monitor configuration, the far edges of the screen, beginning at about 25% into both the left and right monitors, stretches instead of just being, normal.

I implore the developers, I beg Yoshi P! Please add an improved multi-monitor experience with 2.0! Do not forget us who spent way to much on their computer and peripherals for a wide screen experience!

Thank you!

And with that, I leave you a picture.


Full size!

agreed, i need to be able to use my 4 monitors for something ;x
3d support would be nice too.

The issue with stretching is actually due to the very wide lens angle on the in game 'camera'. The wider your monitor w:h ratio is, the worse it will be.

There are ways around it (multi game cam setups, etc), but they would have to be implemented by either SE or nVidia, and cause their own viewing issues, so there really isn't a perfect fix.

If it's really annoying, you might want to sharpen the viewing angles of your monitors (so that the stretching is more in your peripheral vision), or turn them vertically so that you can pull in the camera zoom angle a bit.


Let's hope the menu issue is resolved with the more customizable UI in 2.0

I play on 3 screens too. The side menu is one of FFXIV's more annoying 'features' for sure. I could be mistaken, but I seem to remember reading that the side menu is in fact going away in 2.0.

FFXIV runs great in 3D, I'm not sure what you mean.

True, Except that yellow targeting highlight on models. (But one can just turn it off)

oh god, that crap is hideous even when not playing in 3D. What the hell were they thinking when they added that?

Got 3x BenQ XL2420T's on a HD 7850 just waiting for this to happen. Let's go devs.

Will the radeon drivers not allow desktop spanning? TBH the game is very playable on 3 monitors, there are just some annoyances when you do so.
