MTW2 and triple monitors

[longboat]

Does MTW2 run on three monitors? Searched the forums and can't find an answer nor on google. Want to buy a copy of this game on Steam but only if 3 monitors will run at 3072x768 without stretching the screen? Thanks in advance -

What's the point in using 3 monitors?

[complete noob:(]

Don't take my word for it, but I highly doubt it.

The way the the ui stretches on my 1920 x 1080, I doubt it would even be readable.

This game is too old for such things. Think 2005, XP, and my old X1950Pro could handle a 19" monitor of that day with the game maxxed.

But given that the game works fine on 1920 x 1080, do you think 3072 x 768 would be a stretch?

Yes.

No it won't because the UI for this game is in 1024x768 resolution. One has to mod the UI himself in HD texture, the mtw2.int file.

I don't think this game can natively support multiple monitors. However, if you use a software monitor merger like Eyeinfinity which merges multiple monitors into a single monitor, I think it would work.

However, I suspect that the problem then would be the graphics proportions. It seems like the engine only has "non-widescreen" and "widescreen modes" in terms of graphics proportions. This means that units on 4:3 resolutions look fatter than units on 5:4 resolutions, and similarly (on widescreen mode), units on 16:9 resolutions look fatter than units on 16:10 resolutions. With a triple setup, I suspect that your units will look ultra-fat.

Thanks all. What's the point of using 3 monitors? .... once you gamed on 3 it's about impossible to go back to one screen. Literally

If only you knew what screen i have, its pathetic, even one decent sized would be more then enough for me now

Hell, I've played it on 1024 x 768 and 1280 x 1024.
I even played it on 1280 x 720 for two weeks until I could afford a new monitor.

Well I play on only one monitor at 1920X1080 resolution, but it's my huge screen TV so I don't see the need for more than one monitor!
