Triple Screen Discussion

@Gevatter

It's a matter of messing with some graphics settings. Just try on your personnal hardware by reducing some graphics or reducing resolution scale to 80/90.
You can gain some fps if you accept lower graphics quality.

 

I already tried some things and I'm afraid its a CPU bottleneck. I'd just be interested how other peoples systems cope with that specific scenario and what their settings are.

 

I'll have a try tonight.
I need to know if more cores are needed really or it's just a limitation on UE4 because 7700k at 5GHz is the same ish as 9900k at 5GHz and from what I gather ACC needs 3 to 4 cores!

 

I'm not sure about needs specifically but ACC uses SIX of my cores on my 3700X. I would imagine that could make a difference between a 9900k and a 7700k for you.

 

Yes indeed that is a real test ! I had 60 before starting the car , after the field started moving it dropped to 55 and by the first corner it was 51 , but by the 5th corner (left) it was back to 60 but after the first lap it dropped to 51 again on first corner but back to 60 again by 5th corner .
I have better performance at the new Bathurst than this Nurburgring.
Here are my settings

 

I just tried these settings at the same time and got a close to 60 lock , it dropped on first corner also but got back to 60 by 3rd corner ! I didnt use his Engine.ini but still had my own one in .

But also i had mirrors OFF

 

But for when im not racing at night and heavy rain im now using this Engine.ini and these settings and its a great 60 fps , all really thanks to that ini adjustment that i found today
Also i only just realized we can save different graphics settings and just load them as needed

 

New here. Bought 2 days ago. Started game tonight BUT NO TRIPLES WITHOUT NVIDIA SURROUND!!!!???? Please tell me within these 71 pages there is a workaround?

 

I use surround without issue , im not sure why people dont want to use it ?? Why is that ?

 

because a lot of software doesnt like it, among other things.

Using Helios Display Management utility as a workaround for now

 

I posted about it a few pages ago, but nobody responded. Still waiting. I found a workaround on AC1, by running windowed, and changing the resolution width in one of the json files, it worked. But when i do it in ACC, it overwrites the value on startup. It almost starts with all three monitors, but then when the main splash screen comes up it switches back to the main monitor.

Fingers crossed someone responds here.

 

Unfortunately that is the case. So what else do you need to know?

 

Strange cause that means your game switch back to Full Screen mode....

Try to launch ACC, switch to windowed mode in video options, select a regular resolution like 1920x1080, confirm, quit ACC, launch ACC again without modifying the json file and see if it's running in windowed mode correctly.

If yes then it's a wrong parameter you modified in your json file and what i would do is:

- Launch ACC in windowed mode in your native screen resolution (1920*1080 i guess)
- Center your window in the middle screen (for X Y position in the json file)
- Quit ACC
- Modify your json file for the right resolution (5760*1080) (I saw some users putting 5759*1079 to avoid bugs some time. Keep that in mind if it still does not work after first tests)
- Do not touch X Y window position
- Save your file, cross your fingers and launch ACC

 

Thanks for the input, Rawmaster!

It keeps re-setting itself to 1920 x 1080.Windowed mode has always worked fine. The "useFullscreen" key always remains false, so i don't think it fullscreens itself. See pic:

This is what i do:
1. Open menuSettings.json
2. Change the resolution object inside the graphicOptions object (tried both 5760x1080 and 5759x1079 with the same result, but thanks for the suggestion anyway)
3. Save and exit the file.
4. Start game, and see that it goes back to single monitor.
5. Reopen file and find the settings back to normal, as shown in the image above.
6. Cry.

Please let me know if any of what i'm doing is wrong, i'd love nothing more than to find out i've been ****ing this up somehow.

SWRE worked great for me, even without Nvidia Surround, which use a no-go for me.

 

@domidomi

Is your 1920*1080 window in the center screen of your triple when it switch back to this resolution ?

Also worth a try with Triple screen parameter set to False, just for testing purpose.

 

Yeah, it would default to the center screen of my 3. All of this is moot thanks to @raymondw's suggestion, though!

Problem solved, and it's such a slick and simple solution!

 

What was the solution for future reference?

 

@Stains

I think he used SWRE software and play windowed mode.

 

I've gone back to triple setup after 3 years of Rift VR... just for ACC...

I run on high setting, seems fine to me
