Gimpi	Posted - 2006.12.08 19:35:00 - [91] Simple nVidia solutions to a long thread... Dual Monitor: Horizontal Span mode in drivers. Triple Monitor: Matrox TripleHead2Go splitter box.
Dellepse	Posted - 2006.12.09 17:22:00 - [92] Originally by: Gimpi Simple nVidia solutions to a long thread... Dual Monitor: Horizontal Span mode in drivers. Triple Monitor: Matrox TripleHead2Go splitter box. the TH2G is a good solution for 3 monitors. For two, the span mode doesn't solve the issue of having the ship and the status circle right in the center of the screen. An offset of the viewpoint would do it.
RedMage	Posted - 2006.12.12 16:54:00 - [93] I run 2 monitors and have a different problem. Each monitor is hooked up to a seperate card, (128m ATI and a 256 ATI). the 256 is the primary moitor. I am unable to select the 128m to have the eve client dispaly on in either full-screen or windowed mode. If i select windowed mode, it always opens on the 256m card. if i move it to the other screen (running off of the 128m card) it chokes the whole PC. After doing some diagnostics, i realized that even having the window on the 128m screen, it was being rendered by the 256m card, thus causing the whole system to slow down. IDEA: How about an ad-on client that you can use to do non-flying things in eve, like all the stuff on the left (Char, Market,Map,Corp,Wallet,Etc). that should be fairly easy to do.. oh but it will probobly be disasmbled and turned into bots in no-time.
Rigger Tape	Posted - 2006.12.20 02:16:00 - [94] I like the triple monitor idea. I have tried a Radeon chip on the AGP and Rage 128 in PCI combo, it did not work. Looks like it is time to get PCI card with Radeon. Oh joy! More shopping!
Neo Marak	Posted - 2006.12.21 11:42:00 - [95] +2 to the multi-monitor(i have 3 monitors - so each spare one is voting haha). One of the biggest things i noticed when i logged in first(today) is that i wish i could use all 3 monitors like on flight sim x.... i seriously need more room! short of forcing it to spread over all 3 and making some really strange visual effects... im going to try to bang it into windowed mode later, but that will still not help much except let me load up pages with data in them....
Kw4h Dragon's Rage Ascendant Frontier	Posted - 2006.12.24 12:20:00 - [96] I'm able to run it spanned no problem. Though, there's just one issue I have, and that's to be seen in the next image: Linkage Too bad the ship, and the cap/shield/armor/struct block are in the center :( I'd love to hack into the HUD and move it to the left, but CCP will spank me if I do so... ___________ Calling CCP: Give us a face!
Rhivianna Minmatar	Posted - 2007.01.18 20:54:00 - [97] Yeah, here is a vote for true multi-monitor support. I don't know if it's a DirectX issue that is stopping them or what, but it would be awesome to be able to have the ship screen and the ship HUD on one screen and then everything else on another. It would make it so much friendlier and in addition, make it seem more like a real spaceship :) You don't even need the option of seeing "space" on the 2nd or 3rd screen, just the ability to natively open windows or other tools and just have a "nav station" background or something.
Zoe Sedai	Posted - 2007.01.19 15:30:00 - [98] Has anyone found a way to make eve span using an ATI card? I have a pair of 20.1" monitors and I'm dying to try it :(
Pardot Kynes Gallente Neuronal Loneliness	Posted - 2007.01.19 18:57:00 - [99] Maybe no need to have a dual or multi span support ... Just need to unlock and move everything of the UI, even the default point of view of the camera. So we can place everything as we want, in order to use our multi monitors setup.
Leroot	Posted - 2007.01.20 22:06:00 - [100] you're getting into the realm of a World of Warcraft-esque User Interface, with all lua programmed screen components. WoW has probably the best User Interface system that exists, it's a pity it's wasted ;) But that way of doing things is so drastically different to the way EVE does it. Client-programmable controls that have access to a specific, heavily-policed set of system commands that send instructions to the server. EVE just has controls that are rigidly set to send a certain command to the server. The difference means that the interface will never be very customizable, because CCP haven't set it up that way from the beginning, and changing it now is almost inconceivable. If i thought it was possible I'd be in another thread whinging ^^

Gareth Mayne Amarr	Posted - 2007.01.29 11:06:00 - [101] Originally by: Gimpi Simple nVidia solutions to a long thread... Dual Monitor: Horizontal Span mode in drivers. Triple Monitor: Matrox TripleHead2Go splitter box. Although I am a bit late on the reply, but this isn't an nVidia only solution. You can span across monitor's with ATI's CCC as well, problem is just that with 2 Monitors the ship's right in the middle between the both, wich is quite uncomfortable in the long run.
Equipment Warehouse	Posted - 2007.02.15 05:20:00 - [102] I gotto ask .... I'm having problems getting Eve to span monitors. I'm running Vista x64 ultimate on an AMD dual core, with a NVIDIA 6800 GT Gpu with dual monitor support. Desktop os checked to 'extend' onto both monitors. Now, Eve recognises the presence of two monitors on two seperate display adapters, and offers the option of selecting which adapter to run Eve on. However, I cannot get Eve to offer a spanned resolution at all. I've checked the NVIDIA driver and the Vista display setting,s and cannot find any reference to spanning, beyond the 'extend my desktop onto this monitor' setting in display settings. Any advice? EW
Eve Bay	Posted - 2007.02.15 06:18:00 - [103] Well I'm running a 22" WS LSD with my old 19" as a secondardy, so the resolutions are: 1680x1050 with another 1024x768 off to the right. I would rock to just be able to drag some of the windows, even if it was only chat windows off on to the second screeen. I'd even run windowed mode if I had to be be able to do this! It's just when ur in a battle & Start to take fire, you only have this small hole in the middle of the screen to try & find a warp out object in front of you. Here is my current setup: Screen shot this is what I'm currently using but I did have both the ally & gang chats extened out to just short of the ship controls prevously, and that is much better you can see more than one comment at a time. In gangs Intel is so paramount, you not only need to be able see all pilots in local but more than the last comment in any of ur intel channels. idealy I'd like to have a setup simmialar to this but where local runs from the bottome of screen to just under next system for the auto pilot, and then Gang, squad & the 2~3 other intel channels spread over the 1024x738, even if they are 4 separe boxed windows. any way, if you have not got the msg, I would likke to be able to drag chat windows off screen & have them come up as separate windows on my desktop. thanks enjoy.

Doctor Azura	Posted - 2007.05.08 09:38:00 - [105] Except that I'm running Vista Business I've got the same probs as Equipment Warehouse Anybody have an idea? DA
Kidari Tenlos	Posted - 2007.05.11 06:14:00 - [106] /me is running dual 19" screens utilizing horizontal span @ 2560x1024 resolution. running a GeForce 6800GT, I wasn't aware that this was an issue for other setups. never had a problem with it, and I've gotten used to the split down the middle.
aquontium Gallente Fourth Circle	Posted - 2007.05.16 07:50:00 - [107] I use Dell 2007WFP (20", portrait), HP LP3065 (30", landscape), Dell 2007WFP (20", portrait). This gives 1680x1050 (so 1024 wide), 2560x1600 (2560 wide) and 1680 x 1050. So I run 2 instances of eve windowed at 1024x768 in my right hand monitor during work hours, and in the after-hours........ Eve would be ideal as an 'undockable pallettes' game, but they'd need to change the whole UI completely....hopfully this is slated for Eve Vista
CyberJam Gallente The CyberDome	Posted - 2007.06.15 11:11:00 - [108] Dual monitor support 4 me 2 pls... Playing Eve 5 days now, the first thing i looked 4 was dual mon support. Maybe i have 2 hook it up 2 my 42" plasma... mm gonna try that tonight. CJ
Candiman Caldari Fukd up Beyond all Reckognition	Posted - 2007.06.16 04:50:00 - [109] Originally by: Zoe Sedai Has anyone found a way to make eve span using an ATI card? I have a pair of 20.1" monitors and I'm dying to try it :( If you use the Catalyst Control Center, go to Start - All programs - Catalyst Control Center - CCC Wizard , Select which moniters is primary/secondary, then you will get the options for exrended, clone or horizontal stretch, choose the stretch and continue the wizard, next time you start EVE, check the esc menu options, under graphics you should see new screen res options so you can stretch EVE over the 2 screens. ( Dont do it from the CCC itself, i find its very buggy, do it from the all programs list)
Pandya	Posted - 2007.06.18 16:07:00 - [110] Sadly, Horizontal Span doesn't work on ATi cards under Vista (Using ultimate, but I think it's across all flavours). I also don't think it works under Nvidia cards using Nvidia's equivalent system, but I'm not sure about this. I would love proper EVE client support for multimonitor, so that's a vote from me too :)

Oliver Closeoff	Posted - 2007.06.19 07:18:00 - [111] (1)you can run EVE in windowed mode and from the menu wich comes up when you press ESC you can set the resolution to a higher setting wich will incerase the "windowed" size (2)set your main monitor resolution to the same resolution as the windowed version of EVE you will be able to move between monitors with ease and open/run programs on your secondary monitor. personally i am happy with EVE in its native full screen mode, my system is currently in a small area and my monitors consist of 3 ceiling mounted HDTV projectors each pointed at a diferent wall i have cool star wall papers on the sides and keep informational web pages open on them for reference while i am playing. and always have EVE front and center if you can get any closer to actually flying in space let me know because it dosnt seem to cluttered to me especially when each monitor is about 90 inches diagnal.
Adel Sorra	Posted - 2007.06.19 22:21:00 - [112] Originally by: Pandya I would love proper EVE client support for multimonitor I dont think an application could influence that (exept for the worse) if os/driver dont provide the functionality, so i wouldn't blame eve for it . but i don't know inoff about directx to by shure.
e30089	Posted - 2007.06.30 05:06:00 - [113] For ATI dual screen check this post.
sxndy	Posted - 2007.07.05 09:58:00 - [114] Edited by: sxndy on 05/07/2007 10:05:51 I bought a second monitor the other day and had the same problems with low frame rates. I read all the posts and managed to fix it. I wanted one character to display on one monitor and one in the other. Note, the only way for this to work is to have both instances of Eve in window mode (press Esc when the game is running and set it to window mode in the graphics tab) Eve cannot work properly in full screen mode with 2 instances running. HereÆs my spec: Windows XP 1 Eve client running two instances of Eve (two characters) AMD 64 4000 (single core) ATI x1800xt graphics card (just one) 2 x 22ö TFT monitors with a natural resolution of 1680 x 1050 After reading all the posts hereÆs what I did: Right click anywhere on your desktop and left click on properties, click on the settings tab in ôDisplay Propertiesö Set your resolution to whatever you prefer, click on the number 2 monitor icon in the window box and set that to whatever you want too. Tick the box that says ôExtend Windows desktop onto this monitorö Start Eve and open the one that you want to display in your second monitor, press Esc and go to the Eve settings graphics tab, after putting it in window mode, set the resolution to the same as the monitor it will display in. This is the most important part At the top left of the tab there is a drop down menu, set that to secondary (display card). Do the same for the char that you want to display on your main monitor (you shouldnÆt need to alter the drop down menu) Now you are good to go, although a friend did tell me he didnÆt have the option of setting his alt to secondary in Eve settings. We are working on that (probably because he doesnÆt have his graphics cards software installed, just drivers) After doing this my frame rates trebled, I now get around 70 frames/sec on whatever instance of the game I click on and 27 on the other (when in space). As was said in previous posts, when dragging your Eve windows to where you want them to sit, do not allow them to overlap screens as it will wreck your frame rates/sec. To check what frame rates you are getting use Ctrl,F when in game, it will display to the top left of your screen. Good luck and Fly Safe! Edit: I run both instances @ 1680 x 1050, I can get frame rates over 200 if I lower this and overclock my graphics card. Before I fixed I set the secondary in the Eve graphics tab I could barely get 40fps in low resolution on the active instance.
sxndy	Posted - 2007.07.05 10:08:00 - [115] Edited by: sxndy on 05/07/2007 10:08:30 crappy double post :p
guyd	Posted - 2007.07.05 15:15:00 - [116] +1 LOL i've 2 22" 16/9 at this point the best solution is:3 monitor in spam and u'have the ship in the center ;)))) but the problem for me is another at this point... i must buy another table to fit the 3¦ monitor ;((((( CCCP where u are ??? help us ;))))
T'Amber anomandaris demaleon	Posted - 2007.07.05 15:22:00 - [117] Um, yeah there are a few posts everywhere regarding this, this is for dual screen mode only mind you. Doesn't contain information on more than 2 screens. I will post that in separate thread dual screen previous post explanation STRETCHED MODE for 1 EVE over MULTIPLE SCREENS (All screens treated as one desktop, one entity, one resolution) 90% ATI VIDEOCARDS CANNOT SUPPORT ULTRA WIDESCREEN! (ie: 2x22" LCDs @1680x1050 each = total desktop 3360x1050) EXTENDED MODE for Multiple EVES over MULTIPLE SCREENS SIMULTANEOUSLY (Desktop spans all screens, but each is a separate entity and have separate resolutions) EACH Eve Client MUST have Graphics Device defined in Graphics Settings. (ie, 1 on primary and 1 on secondary) Clients must NOT overlap or be on ANY screen they're not assigned to. THIS WILL CAUSE SERIOUS LAG You will have to move the clients when you load to the screen you have assigned them too, or you get 1 FPS :) I still love ATI tho. I can run 6 clients simultaneously with 25fps or more in extended mode with 2x22" LCD There is a better program than MAXIVISTA, "Synergy" can be found @ www.sourceforge.net I use this program and some other programs to run 8 screens :\| and i have fat cheeks
guyd	Posted - 2007.07.05 16:09:00 - [118] at the moment this is the best solution for me ;) http://eve.grismar.net/evelauncher/?page=about
Crow	Posted - 2007.07.15 11:50:00 - [119] By the way, when EVE first came out, on the original releace; it supported multiple monitors. In video there was a drop down where you told it how many monitors you wanted your fullscreen EVE on and what res they were. The Devs were all said to be using dual monitor alienware PCs when they wrote EVE, so the story goes. They took it out because peoples wallets and things kept accedently getting dropped into their 2nd monitor even though they wernt able to see it. The fix for this for ages was to delete your pref.ini and restart. Then eventualy they took it out. However if somebody realy clever out there found out how the original pref looked, well maybe the multiple monitor support is still buried in the client somewhere. Just an idea, beyond my humble ablilites I'm afraid.
Miao Hoteph	Posted - 2007.07.17 15:03:00 - [120] Well, I have two 22" monitors (3:4 , not widescreen), each at a resolution of 1600x1200 and what I do is to run EVE in windowed mode with a resolution that is 1920x1200 - that way EVE fills the entire height of both monitors (they run in parallel view) but seeing as the image only extends about one third into the second one I still have space for a spreadsheet and msn and the ship's menu is not stuck between the monitors. works for me :)
