At long last the radio silence around triple screen improvements has been broken.. RaceRoom Racing Experience is getting multi monitor support next patch!
Having been in development behind the scenes for a little while now, Sector3 Studios have finally confirmed that RaceRoom Racing Experience will be receiving a first pass of triple screen support in the upcoming patch due within the next few weeks. Initially the first release will bring with it plenty of the essential requirements for modern multi monitor support, however further development and improvements such as in game UI FOV adjustment and drivers eye positioning are expected to follow in future builds.
When challenged as to the performance impact of triple screen support, Sector3's own @Georg Ortner explained that performance loss is considered to be in "acceptable range" for the new feature.
"A performance loss is to be expected when rendering 3 different images at the same time, but from what I have seen so far it's within an acceptable range" said Ortner.
You can find out more about the new feature details below:
Multiview
An option that allows for independent rendering of each individual screen, rather than stretching one image across multiple monitors.
This will eliminate any kind of image distortion.
Bezel correction
This will create a seamless transition across all screens by compensating the area hidden by your monitor bezels.
Angle correction
An option that corrects the view depending on the physical angle of your triple screen setup.
The feature is currently being tested and we are planning to release a first iteration of it in the next patch.
You will be able to setup your triple screens by entering the following values as a steam launch argument:
[middleScreenWidth]
[middleScreenHeight]
[middleScreenBezelWidth]
[middleScreenDistanceToPlayerEyes]
[leftScreenWidth]
[leftScreenHeight]
[leftScreenBezelWidth]
[leftScreenAngle]
[rightScreenWidth]
[rightScreenHeight]
[rightScreenBezelWidth]
[rightScreenAngle]
for example: -triScr 62 34 2 60 52 29 2 45 51 29 2 45
