Hi

The title says it. I run 3xl @ 5760 x1200 wich works well. However, for some of my sims I would prefer 4800x1200 to get rid of extrem distortion. Running at this non-nativ resolution is no problem. But I cant get some black bars on the sides. All I managed is either stretching the entire screen wich squashes everything or get black bars only on one monitor alone. Im using 15.4 Beta. Is this even possible? I remember years ago I could do that. Thans in advance..

Marcel

Haven't heard of this working. So i'd say thats a noGo.
But i can't say i've heard everything.

I would suggest using windowed mode along with the Borderless Gaming application.
This can remove the taskbar etc while you play.

Set your desktop background to black and you have a centered game at your desired resolution with black bars on each side.

I do this myself for games that will not accommodate larger resolutions.
It's not perfect but it is easy.
