As the title says the GRID demo and full game work in TripleHead ... sort of ...

First you need to set the Aspect Ratio in the game to "Normal" ...
The menus are vert- with TripleHead resolutions ...which means a lot of what you need to see is off screen ... :(

For instance ... the select key/icon here below the image ...



There are many other things off screen in TripleHead depending on the menu ... :(

The in game views are fine ... but the HUD is behind the gaps between the screens.

What I did was learn all the menus, buttons, keys and made my profile with the game at 1280x1024 ...
Then changed the game back to 3840x1024 ... which requires a restart ... :roll:

It is a bit of a muddle to get through I know but the racing is awesome ... I love it ... :mrgreen:




















EDIT ... added a second menu screenshot.
Edit #2 ... added the blue bit of text.

Some more:

With my rig (q6600, 8800ultra), at 3840x1024 - all max - it runs barely at 30fps, so tune down to 3072x768 with some down (people, pilot, 4xAA instead 16xAA) to get 55+ fps (about 5 or so more than those in the screenshots).

Great shots ... Very Happy
So how are you finding the menu ... ?

Try first with one monitor and learn how to make it work. For ex, change of resolution implies pressing right key and enter when the screen turns black. You don´t see the options but they´re still there.

It´s something annoying but the final game I suppose that will not have this problem (Dirt did work flawlessly in that respect).


Byez.

I did ... see the first post ... :lol:
I was just hoping you would confirm my findings that whilst a pain it is ok once you know what you are doing ... and you did ... :D

Dirt's demo worked flawlessly too ... unlike this ... but true they could well fix this for the full release ... 8)

Woah hang on a mo... Paddy, is this in vista? Cos when I try it, the demo looks all squashed in game not just the menus... I have all the options viewable in the menus and not cropped like yours. but the racing looks like someone dropped an anvil on screen? Even when I change it to 16:9....?

Gonna try it in XP
