Hi-

I am using TripleHead2Go.
http://www.matrox.com/graphics/en/gx...th2go/home.php

I played by the resolution of 3840x1024.
However, it is an image that drags on.

Please teach me how to do to play a game correctly in the environment of three monitors.

Uhm probably not at all. You'd need 4 to make it look right as the game runs on a 4:3 ratio

Did you select the Widescreen option in the video settings?

yes,I selected the Widescreen option by the video setting.
The same phenomenon occurs - Rome totalwar.

It is a mystery.

No it's not. If you play in a resolution that has a ratio of 15:4 you should expect the game to be distorted unless the engine is coded to specifically increase the angle of view, which it isn't.
This is a lot larger than the wide-screen format of 16:9 or the normal thing with 4:3

Hi-
I want to set fov.
I think that fov is a cause.

Quote from a good tutorial:

Field of view is not enabled by default. To enable field of view, open your '\data\text\descr_shortcuts.txt' and remove any semi-colons from lines containing the word FOV. Save the 'descr_shortcuts.txt' and delete the file named 'keys.dat' in the Rome directory. You must delete the 'keys.dat' file or the FOV keys will not work. The 'keys.dat' file is created every time the game is run, and needs to be deleted only once.

The field of view of the camera can be adjusted with the 7 and 9 keys on the numerical keypad. The FOV can be set back to the default value with the letter O key. Once you change the FOV you will need to press Insert to overwrite the current keyframe.

>>spurius

thanks for replying.
I tried.

1.open '\data\text\descr_shortcuts.txt'
All semicolons of the line with word fov were erased.
There were two semicolons.
and Keys.dat that existed in Rome directory was erased.
but, There was no reaction though 7 and 9(Num key) were pushed while playing a game.

I want to test fov a little more.
thanks.
