Widescreen Gaming Forum

I now have distorted graphics, like I am streatched out to fill my monitors.

The first thing that comes to mind is the FOV entry in Haydens patch. You can try increasing or decreasing the FOV to change the feel of how the graphics are presented in front of you. If it seems stretched, you can try increasing the FOV. You do this when you first start Haydens patch, before you click Inject Patch and then start the game. However, I have found Hayden's default value to work well for me, but it's something to try.

Thanks but that ini as well as playing with the FOV makes no difference.
I did notice one thing. when I try to move forward I actually move to the right so it looks like I am seeing across all three screens only what I would usually see in my left monitor (monitor 1) but it is streatched across all three monitors thus causing the distortion.

Kind of. I just noted that when I draw my sword and can therefore look at my arm and the sword that they look normal. When I draw a bow and shoot the arm, the bow and arrows all look normal and not distorted. In inventory screens all looks normal but the world looks like I have one of my non center monitors background spread across all three screens.
My normal monitor set up is going from Left to Right 3,2,1 with monitor 1 on the right. Monitor 3, on the left is my main Windows monitor, I have run this way for a long time and had no issues and SKYRIM ran great using the previous fixes. All was well untill this last upgrade from Steam.

Have you verified the integrity of game cache ?

Yes, I have but not since I downloaded the ini file you provided. I did just change my monitor allignment to 1,2,3 but that made no difference.
I will do an integrity check and try again.
Thanks for the suggestions. I had this same issue when I first got the geme but when I installed and used Hayden's first fix it took care of this issue.

OK, verified but I still have the problem. The background and my companion are greatly distorted in the hor all else looks normal. THe injection output log on the fix looks as it should with all messages
The only thing I can think to do is to reinstall at this point. I am going to leave it alone for a while and see if any of you have additional suggestions.

Here is an update, my problem is not the fix. Even when running the game without the fix in widescreen I get the distortion except for my own body and weapons.
If I change the ini to 1920 X 1200 then the game plays normally but only on my center monitor as you would expect. When I change the ini to 5760 X 1200 I get game across all three monitors but distroted beyone playability. The fix does fix the menues as it is designed to do but it is not my problem. I am going to try one more thing and that is the latest NVidia beta driver 290.36, I have been running the previous beta, 285.79 that came out on 11/11.

All Fixed. :cheers
The problem, as noted above, was not the widescreen Version 0.9 fix but the latest SKYRIM upgrade which seems to have broken the NVIDIA beta driver which enabled SLI for SKYIM. NVIDIA has a new beta driver out, 290.36. I installed it, reset up my surround and Violla..... all is well again. I am running the latest SKYRIM update, the latest Widescreen fix from HaYDeN and the latest NVIDIA beta driver and all is well.

Oh good news, glad you got it sorted and thanks for sharing in case others have the same issue!
