Hey guys.

I'm having some issues with Eyefinity with Skyrim.
I'm running Eyefinty at 5760x1080 on my 6970.

I have tried to use Hayden's mod to fix the menus - but aren't having much luck.

When I run Haydens tool as Administrator, I click 'Inject Patch'. I then open Skyrim and it crashes instantly back to my desktop.

Click Inject Patch again - start Skyrim - crash.

I'm not sure why - but I can't get Skyrim to run with Haydens tool at all!

I'm running 1.3.10.0 for Skyrim and Haydens latest 0.91 tool.

[quote]Any ideas?

Please try AA 2x (in game launcher) and report back.

Changed to 2x AA. No change. It was no AA before.

Edit - New symptom
Apparently I was editing the wrong SkyrimPrefs.ini -
I was editing -> D:Program Files (x86)SteamsteamappscommonskyrimSkyrim
But it was using -> C:UsersDocumentsMy GamesSkyrim

Updated the iSize values to reflect:
iSize H=1080
iSize W=5670

However, now I get a new error -

myr, try 5760 instead of 5670.

/facepalm

Cheers :)

edit: WOOOOOOO!

Is there a way to resize/reposition the item preview model for the *non* SkyUI menus? I was able to edit SkyUI's config file to get the icons back to the normal size and position, but now the barter and chest item models are huge again with the .91 UI fix and latest skyrim patch.

(i've reverted back to previous patch, and no problems).

After having logged over 200 hours in this game, I finally decided to try the HayDen Eyefinity app available here. I started it up, then started Skyrim. I was able to get a 6048x1080 resolution working. But, the menus are very zoomed in and not that easy to navigate. However, it does seem to be playable....for just a few moments to about 3 minutes. Then the game CTD without any warning. I have had 5 CTDs within 15 minutes. Then, even after reverting to just one screen it still CTD.

The game has been very, VERY stable for me since the latest patch and hasn't CTD in well over a week now until trying this eyefinity patch. Any ideas as to what may be wrong?

Someone posted an image that causes the board to stretch beyond your screen's width. Just look up and down the thread for the image and you'll see what's going on.

Menus zoomed in running HaYDeN's fix ? Mmm are you sure you've clicked on the "Inject Patch" button on the app before launching Skyrim ?

Yes, I had HayDen's app up and running, then went and started up Skyrim. HayDen's app then started scanning files and I waited until that finished before starting the game.

Now, even though I've reverted to a single screen the game is CTD every few moments/minutes. I haven't gotten more than 4-5 minutes of play without a CTD so far.

EDIT: OK, on my last attempt the menus were fine. BUT, within 5 min of starting the game, I had another CTD.

EDIT2: I got the CTD resolved after doing a Validate Files via Steam. I'm now back to --hopefully-- a crash free game experience.

BUT, I'm also back to a single screen rather than trying Eyefinity at this time.
