    More of a question out of curiosity as I understand this is a work in progress but here goes.

    I have a 3 monitor setup running 2 Nvidia 760's in Nvidia Surround. I noticed the only multiple monitor resolutions supported in the options are 3840 X 2160 and 4096 X 2160. Those appear to be resolutions to support 4 monitor setups 2 wide and 2 high, composed of 4- 1920 X 1080 and 4 - 2048 X 1080 native monitors? I use 5040 X 1050 across 3 monitors at 1680 X 1050 resolution each. Are there plans to support a 5040X1050 resolution?

    Is it possible to change a config file somewhere to force it into 5040 X 1050?

    If I use either the 3840 X 2160 or 4096 X 2160 resolutions provided, the game starts in a window and not fullscreen. I can not get it into fullscreen by changing settings in options. It will span that window across the center monitor and partially across both side monitors however the desktop is still visible and although playable its annoying as hell.

    Thanks

    You can try to enforce your settings using the settings.cfg located in your StarMade directory.

    A few settings that could help you to achieve what you need.
    Code:
    G_RESOLUTION = int:X x int:Y
    G_FOV = float:A
    G_FULLSCREEN = bolean
    G_WINDOWED_BORDERLESS = bolean
    In case fullscreen doesn't work try borderless window mode which should do the same for the most part (and even fix other multi monitor issues).

    Thank Seoson but no go. The resolution reverts back to default. By default I mean whatever resolution is chosen in the drop down list in the launcher. The window issue comes up whenever I choose one of those stock widescreen resolutions, 3840X2160 or 4096X2160. Neither using the menus or changing the settings config will change that. It may be the Nvidia drivers forcing the window since the res is so far off the native of the monitors.
