The UI for using 3 monitors is absolute rubbish. Take a look at the screenies.

Ways I would fix it include, but are not limited to, UI scaling and user movable UI elements. This seems like such an easy fix.

Any thoughts or signatures are welcome.

Greetings,

There are currently one or two individuals working on the 'TrackIR' and 'Oculus' support.

- The suggestion of scaling of the images is something that could or should be done.
- I don't think the ability to move or place the image box's can be done within this application.

There is quite a bit of wasted space all over the 3 monitor setup. Even the background is missing and torn on the left monitor.
- Yes some additional work should be done to facilitate those that do operate within this set up and resolution.

Keep in mind that the UI and in-game resolution are 2 separate settings, as the game is locked at one setting and just scales for more monitors. I find that I loose some top and bottom items, but they are not required for play.

- I run 3 monitors and find I am always moving to the 2nd step of zoom just for normal gameplay.
It fills all 3 monitors with windows on most Mech chassis, and I laugh when spectators are typing in "Zoom out, how can you play like that, we can't see" (Here's your rubber steering wheel, sit back and enjoy the ride.)

No bumps outside of the recruitment forums allowed (and even there only one per day and thread/unit). Empty bumps are nothing more then spam. I removed one such post.
Matthew Craig recently said he will look into better multi-monitor support in response to one of my posts on that topic. He can't make any promises though.

I whole heartedly agree. I experience the same problems. Although I would welcome SLI support to go along with the multiple monitor support. I've noticed that there are still some performance passovers that need to happen before playing on my 3 monitors is viable 100% of the time. For tournaments I still play single screen in order to avoid the various issues that I've found while using 3 monitors.

I love the immersion that I gain with 3 monitors, however it has been obviously neglected up to this point. Thanks Egomane. It's good to hear that this will be looked into MAYBE^TM and SOON^TM.

I can't agree more, my next project will be a 3 monitor setup.
