Multi monitor and 1920x1080 problem

Reizla

I'm using 3 monitors to get a resolution of 5760x1080 (I need it when working on my PC).

I just downloaded and installed ESO and as expected, the game starts in that 5760x0180 resolution (borderless windowed). I change this setting to full screen 1920x1080 but nothing happens (except for the screen to go black for 3 seconds). When I check the settings, it tells me the game is in full screen mode on 1920x1080, but it still displays over 3 monitors. Playing the game a bit (as far as that's possible with fixed UI elements all to the left & right), the game stays on 3 monitors, but I did notice that the quality is a lot less than when I play in 5760x1080 (dropped texture resolutions to 33%?).

I figured to restart the game and check the UserSettings.txt file in the ESO dir on My Documents. There the resolution is set to 5760x1080 and I change this myself to 1920x1080 and start the game again. Guess what? Indeed the game still comes up on 3 monitors

Checking the UserSettings.txt file again, I see that the resolution is set back to 5760x1080. I change it again to 1920x1080 and make the file READ ONLY. Restart the game and... Yups, again on 3 screens >:( Checking the UserSettings.txt after I have closed down the game it still shows the 1920x1080 settings.

I have also tried to just change the settings to 1920x1080 full screen, close the game and restart, but to no effort.

Any way to get the resolution to 1920x1080 on 1 monitor? I get the feeling that Zenimax did an awefully bad job on this and that it's not possible to change resolution into an other screen ratio...

Change your windows settings to multi-monitor setup with a single  1920x1080 primary display, use the other 2 monitors as you wish - the game will run in 1920x1080 on primary.

Yes not the ideal solution- but you will at least have use over the other 2 monitors and game at the same time.

 

Yeah, I could have come up with that one, but as I started, I need 5760x1080 for when I'm working on the PC. It's not a real option for me to change in 3x 1920x1080 only to play 1 game...
