I played a few months ago and there were options for higher resolutions but now (9-25-2013) the highest resolution is 1920x1080 and no multi-monitor option. Did they drop support for Multi-Monitor or is there another way to set it up now? This game looks like it was meant to be played on triple monitors so I hope there is either another way to set it up or that they bring back support for it soon. Any help would be appreciated, Thanks. :)

The game does not let you specify multiple monitors by itself. You will need to use your video cards software to span the displays or use something like SoftTH to make your three displays appear as one.

Once you do that then you will see in game the resolution option of that "one big screen".

On AMD systems you have to setup your monitors in an Eyefinity mode wihtin the catalyst control center.

On NVIDIA systems, I believe it is called nView and you have to set it to span mode (would be nice if a NVIDIA user might correct me if I'm wrong).

After that MWO will offer you the multi-monitor resolutions to play.

Thanks! It's been a few years, since I last had a Nvidia card. :)

MWO natively supports nvidia surround / amd eyefinity resolutions, you just have to enable those features on your supported hardware via the nvidia/amd control panels.

then you can select that resolution within MWO.

i've been running this game with nvidia surround with no issues.

I've been running 5760x1080 (3x 1920x1080) using ATi Eyefinity with no issues.
