Thanks to Paddy , Racer_S, Mobster007, and geniv2 for confirming the game is running perfectly fine at triple wide resolutions, gonna add heaps of screenshots later.
Steam version here, the 5040x1050 solution posted by Mobster 007 in page 8, still works great.
Doom 3 on triple wide + ultra high settings + AA 8X looks awesome. :o





Edit: I added some 5040x1050 screenshots here.

Quake 4 is also running fine at 5040x1050, retail version here with the latest patch applied (1.4.2), i posted some super wide screenshots here.

Just for future reference and other people, could you specifically state in a separate post which versions of the games you are running with which hacks? And if you had to modify the hacks in any way?

It is 11:15 pm right now. I have been trying to get doom 3, roe, and quake 4 running since 2pm today. 9 hrs blown of my 2nd vac day. What a waste but I am one of those people that can't put something down if I can't get it to work.

This is a very confusing thread as there is ALOT of different info for diff scenarios. Also a 4 year old thread.

Here is my situation: I have 3x1680x1050 monitors and a 5970 gpu on win 7 64bit. Trying to go eyefinity with these games.

Has anyone got it working in eyefinity? Could I ask exactly what file you used? What page of this thread and by who. Also what patches of the games you used. I am on cd versions of all the games.

I installed d3: patched it right away to 1.31 and installed roe. I have seen where it is better to get the triple working on d3 b4 installing roe. Has everyone else did it this way. Then I installed various sets of the dll files here.

I also could not get it to work in quake 4. I had it patched to 1.42. Got it to go triple wide but it looks like it is all squashed.

Could someone explain the read only stuff. I am just copying the gamex86.dll, game3/4 pk4 file and win 7 is asking me if I want to replace the original ones and I am saying yes. Is this wrong? The file is read only from the start.

Very frustrating as I have gotten almost every game that I wanted to play working in eyefinity/

Also with 3x1680x1050 should I used 3.33 or the 3 version of the files???

Ok I got d3, roe and quake 4 working as far as I can tell. If it is right does the middle screen on triple wide look just like the screen with single player? For example when playing q4 when I use the scope on the machine gun the view is oval and it stretches over into the left and right screen like this () but horizontal. The view on the rest of the game looks right though. It is not squashed at all but it is not perfect. It does look like the first page photos of the thread with the aspect ratio fixed. Are the menus supposed to be all stretched out?

I am using the correct dll's for each game. I am using 3x1680x1050 with the aspect ratio of 1 ingame. 2 would not work as it squished everything. Also using the 3 versions not 3.33.
The question is this!! Does the middle screen in triple wide look exactly like playing the game on a single screen?? Or should I assume some stretching??
Using 1.3 d3 and 1.42 for q4
Thanks for the reply!!

Hey MobsterOO7, im sorry, ive just read your post, im running Doom 3 + RE - steam versions, and Quake 4 - retail version, all updated to the latest patch.
I havent modified the hacks, just installed as available here at wsgf. :wink:

Well as i posted Doom 3 (steam version) is running just fine on Nvidia Surround at 5040x1050, running this fix posted by MobsterOO7 - http://www.widescreengamingforum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=141900#p141900 8) :

What do I need to edit in the gamex86.dll file to make it work for triplehead? I want to make it for the new version of Last Man Standing but I cant find the guide or anything on the web.
