Ok so I did NOT own a TH2G Analog, so I'm not saying that the Digital is the issue here, I honestly don't know.

Here's my problem.. I have the game installed, I went to SGU to set WoW to 3072x768 (or 3840x1024), and optimized it. I checked the CONFIG file in the WTF folder and the rez there was changed, when I launch the game it reverts back to 800x600. Inside the game under video options I'm only seeing 800x600, 1024x768, 1280x1024, 1600x1200.

Windows sees up to 3840x1024, and I got other games running with it just fine. BF2 (With Garbage FOV), HL2, CS:S, TDU, just can't seem to get WoW working.

Any ideas?

I tried Uninstalling / Reinstalling the Game (I deleted the Entire WoW folder after the install to make sure all WTF/WDB info was gone), and nothing seems to work.

hmm,It worked on mine(digital)
I dont have 3 equal sized monitors(used 2 24's and a westy 37)though
In game I get two choices for widescreen (4080x768 and 3840x768)
My system is a e6600 with a 7950gx2 vid card 2 gigs of ram and a Asus P5W DH deluxe mobo

not sure if any of that helps...

I'm running an e6600, 8800GTS OCed.

I'm also running Vista though, so I'm not sure if that's the problem.

I can't figure out why I'm not seeing any of my widescreen resolutions, it's like WoW is not even pulling the list of supported Rez. It has 1600x1200 on that list and that's not an option in Windows.. My LCDs go up to 1280x1024.

MADNESS!

You need to use the Matrox software to "program" the digital TripleHead2Go with the 4 triplehead resolutions of your choice. The Matrox device can only hold 4 EDIDs, and the software allows the user to choose which 4 EDID (and thus triplehead resolutions) will be reported to Windows as available.

I think you might of come in a bit late.
Like i said windows sees the desired resolutions, it's just the game that doesn't see it.

The settings in the SGU program have been setup since the beginning, and like I said I can run other games fine, just not WoW. Wow is not pulling the settings that windows has.

umm, just for clarity sake,I >think< the resolution settings JKeefe is reffering to are set in the "power desk SE" program,not the "SGU" app.

is that right?

Ya sorry about that I meant to say Powerdesk.
The settings are set in there, and windows sees the settings fine, along with every other game i've tried. Just WoW does not see the new Rez..

It also sees settings are NOT in windows (like 1600x1200).

Yes, that's right, and I was just offering a possible fix. Obviously if other games see the resolutions available, then this isn't the issue.

If you can't easily pick the resolutions in-game, is there a config file that you can modify?
