Multiple Monitor Support for Splitscreen

[Faxmashine]

Hello everyone,

I think there should be an option to start the game on multiple monitors. That would make splitscreen-races over multiple screens possible, as you (or maybe just me) can't stretch the window over my 2 monitors. So please add support of more monitors without having to play in windowed mode or remove the maximum windows size.

Thanks alot!

Thats a massive leap from no split screen to that! i don't think a single game can do that at all, apart from maybe opening a game twice then playing LAN.

Edit: oh wow i've just found the splitscreen mode, awesome ! didn't find it before

I think I have seen somebody playing TMF on multiple screens, so shouldn't this possible already? Would be great! (oops, I have only one monitor :S)

Thanks for your answers!

I have to agree that there doesn't seem to be a game that supports splitscreen with multiple monitors- or at least I don't know any. But you can do this by stretching game over 2 screens in windowed mode. I tried this which Dirt 3 and it actually worked, but you can't set how you want to split the screen, making you end up with 2 veeery long sections. But in trackmania, you can't even do that, as the game is locked to the screen size you started the game in.

Any solutions for this? Or is there a program which makes your PC treat 2 monitors as one? I can't find such an option in my nvidia driver settings.
Or does anyone know where the file for the starting options is saved?

Maybe I'll have to post this topic on another forum section, as this doesn't seem to be a suggestion anymore...

Oh, and running the game twice seems a bit too complicated

With an ATI card that supports tripplehead (anything from the >5000 models I think) you can combine two or more monitors into one. Works fine and if the game doesn't let you choose how you want the screen to split you can create either a high or a wide monitor. I think you need a SLI setup to do that with a Nvidia card. Everyone else could try SoftTH and see if that works.
