Pettyh,
This is almost prefect on my 6138x1080 setup! I will have to play with it just a bit, but thank you so much. This has been really bugging me.

Try this, i'm using 6028x1080 bezel corrected with haydens 0.91 patch

; =====================================================================================================================
[ItemInfo]
; =====================================================================================================================

itemcard.align = right
itemcard.xOffset = -90
itemcard.yOffset = 30

itemicon.xOffset = 22
itemicon.yOffset = -9
itemicon.scale = 0.6


you can also just play around with the values, dont change them by much though

[quote][quote]But, the menus are very zoomed in and not that easy to navigate. However, it does seem to be playable....

Menus zoomed in running HaYDeN's fix ? Mmm are you sure you've clicked on the "Inject Patch" button on the app before launching Skyrim ?

Yes, I had HayDen's app up and running, then went and started up Skyrim. HayDen's app then started scanning files and I waited until that finished before starting the game.

Now, even though I've reverted to a single screen the game is CTD every few moments/minutes. I haven't gotten more than 4-5 minutes of play without a CTD so far.

EDIT: OK, on my last attempt the menus were fine. BUT, within 5 min of starting the game, I had another CTD.

EDIT2: I got the CTD resolved after doing a Validate Files via Steam. I'm now back to --hopefully-- a crash free game experience.

BUT, I'm also back to a single screen rather than trying Eyefinity at this time.

This statement kinda makes me wonder, "HayDen's app then started scanning files and I waited until that finished before starting the game."

HaYDen's app doesn't 'finish' before you can start the game, at least not on my system. All I see is "scanning for skyrim process...." Once you start the game, it loads and HaYDeN's app is no longer visible ( its in the background). How are you going about this? Tabbing in and out "can" mess things up from time to time.

What video drivers are you running? the latest?

Have you correctly edited your res in the correct .ini file? There shouldn't be any issue with running that res.

Also, please use a text editor like Notepad++ to open ".ini" files as it will make them much more easy for you or others to read :)

Also, notepad++ has a nice feature. Once you find your .ini file and open it, all you have to do is start Notepad++ and it will keep that file as a tab within the application so you don't have to keep hunting it down every time
you want to make a change to it.


From your paste above, your resolution is set to:

iSize H=1200
iSize W=1920

Change your iSize W=1920 to 5760 or whatever the bezel corrected Width of your monitors is. Save the .ini file and try to launch the game again.

Soundz to me like you might not have EYEFINITY setup.

Is your desktop an Eyefinity tripple wide with "Start menu" and clock about 6 feet apart? heh..

Go to ATI/AMD control center and "Create Eyefinity..."

brilliant, thank you.

editing the ini file sorted it out.

I was wander'n around Future Shop lookin at all the spanky 50-60+ inch displays and thinking.

3 of them, on a wall, in portait mode ..like the "Total Recal" movie beginning at break fast.

..We Have The POWER!

Sure there are some spanky custom systems. (26 foot w/rear projection).

Something simple.

(Yeah off topic ..just thinkin, opps out load)
