I was able to run EQ2 with my 3 1920x1080 monitors for 8 hours this last saturday without incident. It was so beautiful that it nearly brought warmth to my cold jadded heart.Since then, I crash every 1-2 minutes with this 3 monitor setup. After doing some forum searching it appears that there is a problem with such aspect ratios which causes the game to throw Unhandled exception EXCEPTION_INT_OVERFLOW.Are there any plans for a fix to this error? It's such an amazing experience playing EQ on the triple monitors that it is a shame that it does not work.Enquiring minds want to know.

I'm running Eyefinity with no issues. I did have problems with it before which related back to adapter I was using for my third monitor. What adapter are you using? You may want see if that's the issue.Also I'm running the same aspect ratio you are.

Dvi-DviDvi-DviDisplay port to Vga Non active adapter it's like $15When I was having numerious problems I was running a DP to DVI Active adapter I bought for like 100 bucks, and I did tons of search on forums and stuff before finally someone said to try DP to VGA, that's what I did even though it's not an active adapter, it works like a champ.

I just hooked updvi-dvidvi-dviminiDP-dvi (using <a href="http://accellcables.com/products/DisplayPort/DP/mdp_dvi_sl_active.htm">http://accellcables.com/products/Di...i_sl_active.htm</a>) $30With no luck. Crashed in 6 seconds after I zoned in.Im using a resolution of 5760x1080 on my desktop and playing EQ in windowed mode. What are you running?

see if you can find a cheap mini dp to vga<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/Mini-DisplayPort-Apple-Female-Adapter/dp/B002JCJ4VI/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1294287067&sr=8-3" target="_blank">http://www.amazon.com/Mini-DisplayP...7067&sr=8-3</a>That's what fixed it for me, strangely enough. It's 10 bucks so it won't hurt to much to try.I moved everything around tried all kinds of different connections and drivers, used old drivers new drivers so forth ect.When I went to the VGA adapter for the 3 rd monitor everything cleared up, 10 bucks is worth a shot imo if it fixes the problem for you.Good Luck, if you do get it, let me know if it does straighten it out for ya.My rez is 6048 x 1080 window'd mode.

No luck with the miniDP to vga.Im going with a post I saw on flames for a workaround. It's a year old but still relevant.Do you have an ultra wide display? It looks like it's crashing doing an overflow in a divide calculation in the culling library. What resolution are you running at? If you're running any wider than 16:9, I'd suggest trying to run at 16:9. I've seen this with the widescreen version of<a href="http://www.matrox.com/graphics/en/products/gxm/th2go/" target="_blank">TripleHead2Go</a>...Joshua "autenil" KriegshauserTechnical Director Emeritus, EverQuest IISony Online Entertainment, LLC.And he later recommendedHowever, I believe that a ratio of 12:3 should be fine. This is like three 4:3 screens side-by-side. This would give you a resolution of 4320x1080. Try using that resolution and see if it stops the crashing. Unfortunately, DPVS (the third-party occlusion library that EQII uses) isn't accustomed to ultra-wide displays.You can edit eq2_recent.ini and change the following values (or add them to the end of the file):cl_screenwidth_windowed 4320cl_screenheight_windowed 1080cl_maximized falsecl_fullscreen falseI will see how this works. Its a poor substitute but at least now I might be able to play.

From what I understand you need to use resolution under 4000 pixels width. There are issues with the occlusion library that EQII uses that doesn't like ultra wide displays very much. I don't have any new informaton regarding changes on our end to how this is accomplished.
