Sorry for opening a new thread that may have been covered before.

I'm currently gaming on three displays, 5760 x 1080 Eyefinity, powered by a single ATI 5870. No problem selecting 5760 x 1080 on Steam games like LFD, LFD2, COD, MW2/3 and BF3, etc. But when I open Skyrim and go to options with "show all resolutions" checked, the highest resolution is only 1920 x 1080.

Help?

Find the lines iSize H= and iSize W= and add in the resolution you want after the = to give iSize H=1080 and iSize W=5760



When I run Skyrim BEFORE editing the SkyrimPrefs.ini file I have the following resolution options:
1280x720 (Letterbox)
1600x900
1920x1080

The only iSize settings I have in SkyrimPrefs.ini
iSize H=1080
iSize W=1920


I have three monitors, eyefinity at 5760x1080

I edit the SkyrimPrefs.ini to:
iSize H=1080
iSize W=5760

Run Skyrim, I now have NO resolutoin options in the dop down menu.

I still get the same error, i.e. the game dupliacted on all 3 monitors.

Hmmm, very interesting. Prior to your suggestion, at 16:9 @ 1920x1080 res, I had three of the same screens. I clicked on "Default". Instead of 16:9 it changed it to standard (4:3 or 5:4), no available resolutions but when I launch the game it looks like it worked. Most games I would have to select the res. I didn't change any of the .ini files.

I guess it's working. Never setup a game like this before on eyefinity. Using WSFixer dated 3-6-12. Oh, one more thing... I usually have to enable the fix by pressing shift/ctrl & * at the same time... not on this one... looks like it's all automatic.

Here's a screen shot taken via fraps:

Dear teh_masterer,

You are the man,
THANK YOU!
Oh, and to the poster, u cant go into the settings option once u launch Skyrim, just launch the game using SoftTH after the pref.ini has been altered, as it screws up the fix. I had to type my res in 3 times (3648x1142) after i tried to increase the quality.
Now it works fine, except the head of the Skyrim logo is clipped in the main menu page, but the in game view looks amazing!

Hi i want to set Skyrim on 3 monitors as well but i get the error:
"Failed to initialize renderer.
Your display doesn't support the selected reslution. Please set a different resolution in Skyrim's Launcher under "Display Settings'."
