Hi

I'm having issues with WoW and DisplayFusion. I have my screen split into three zones, but I want WoW to span the entire screen. What happens is that when I launch WoW it randomly puts itself in either the middle zone, or in both middle and third zone. I figured compatibility functions to disable DisplayFusion for WoW specifically would solve this, to no avail. See attached screenshots for my settings.

Note that it solves itself after I change display resolution inside of WoW, but it is a bit tiresome to do it every time I launch it

Anyone got a suggestion on what else I can do to fix it?

Hi, thanks for the response. I am currently on version 11.1.1 (Bought via Steam), I do not believe WoW has a true fullscreen option anymore, only Windowed(Fullscreen) is left.

I am using Windows 11 24H2, on a Samsung G9 OLED 49". The problem persisted through a reinstall of Windows that I did in November

I've been having the same issue since Warcraft v11 (War within) was released. Sometimes wow loads just on one monitor, sometimes on one monitor in a super low resolution, sometimes it loads on all three screens, but either the whole window will be offset on the screen, or the window will be centered, but text and buttons in-game will be offset and in the wrong places. It's fairly random as to how it comes up. If I close displayfusion, everything works fine. I loaded it a couple times, and here are examples of what it's done. A screenshot of my monitor configuration is also attached. I've used various versions of Displayfusion from 10.x to the current 11.x beta. I've tried various compatibility settings, but nothing seems to make any difference.

Uploaded debug, time is around 16:42

Here are my logs as well. A screenshot of the behaviour this time is also attached.

Hi, it works as expected if I disable splits. Thing is I am only using one 32:9 monitor, and use splits for most applications and would prefer a solution that does not involve disabling splits everytime I want to play WoW if at all possible

Same here, but disabling splits is sub-par solution. Primary reasons I use display fusion are monitor splits and monitor profiles.

Amazing, thanks!

Hi, was wondering if you had any progress on this? Thanks!

Any word on this? I feel like 'soon' has passed. Did I miss an update?

Definitely not working still. Pretty much the same random weirdness. Here's today's strange stretch.
EDIT: I manually changed my resolution to 5760x1080, and it worked temporarily, but as soon as logged into a character, it moved everything to a single monitor in 1920x1080.

This was just minimal logging, let me know if you need a higher level of logging.

Hi, sorry for the late response! I've tried a few times now on Beta3, and was not able to reproduce the issue. For now it looks like it is working great for me!

I just grabbed beta 5, which still has issues. What logging do you need?

I just captured a log while I opened the game. The game at first opens to all three spanned monitors, and looks good up to character selection. Then, after selecting my character and starting to login, it moves the game to a single monitor (left most of the three) and loads the rest of the way. I also note that on screen text in the game is absolutely tiny, while the graphics seem to be OK. I did this at approximately 11:06am. (should be about the only thing in the log)

Any updates on this? I am also experiencing the same issue with a single Ultrawide 34" (3440 x 1440) monitor split into two zones (1720x1440) and WoW will not launch into the full (3440 x 1440) mode. It only appears in one of the two splits...

Confirming the new 12.0 Beta 9 still does not work (but it almost does).
Upon WoW first launch, I went into Windowed Full Screen Mode (what I expected) yay.
Game worked fine, I could even move it between my Window splits and back to full screen without issue.
While the game was still in full-screen windowed mode, I closed it (like I normally would).

Upon re-launching the game, it's now only launching into my 1.1 Monitor split and will only let me move it between the 1.1 and 1.2 splits, not take up the full screen anymore. (Not what I want).

I should add. If I change the monitor selection in-game to "Primary" from "Primary Default" it will allow me to move it properly (kinda) between Window Splits. It just moves half the screen off to the far right as shown in this screenshot.

Agreed, I'm getting very similar results. It worked the first time, but went back to the original behaviour. It's not always the same results either. Sometimes it comes up on one screen and looks 'normal' for one screen. Sometimes it comes up on one screen and everything is stretched, looking like an extremely low resolution. Sometimes it's on all monitors, but again, the resolution looks wrong and it's distorted. It varies.

It's in a 'windowed fullscreen' mode, so it doessn't have a title bar or edges.

Owen / Fritolaid,

I think I found a workaround using a MACRO in-game. It's not perfect, but it does accomplish allowing me to use WoW in FullScreen (Borderless) across my entire monitor (3440 x 1440) and still splitting my monitor into two splits (1720x1440) each.

As mentioned, WoW works great the first time you launch it after adding the monitor splits, but each subsequent time it did not work. Here's the workaround:

1. Add this Macro to WoW, make sure the quotes don't covert to smart-quotes.


2. Bind the macro to a key or just add it to a shortcut bar.

3. Run the Macro when you want to toggle in/out of Windowed/Windowed (Borderless).

4. Once in Windowed mode (with borders) you can use Owen's suggestion of SHIFT + Maximize or any other menthod of manipulating windows (I have some triggers/functions in Displayfusion to move the windows to a specific split).

5. Once you want to jump back to Windowed (Borderless), just maximize Wow in Windowed mode and run the macro.
It will bring you back to Windowed (Borderless).

No need to run WoW in "Windowed Mode" anymore!

I am actually having the inverse problem.
My 49" 5120x1440 Monitor is split into two sections as well: 3440x1402 and 1680x1402. The 1402 instead of 1440 is, so I see my Taskbar at all times (except for true fullscreen games).

Normally I play WoW on the 3440x1402 part in "Fullscreen (Windowed)" mode, so I can have discord etc. on the side. It used to work that WoW automatically maximized to this part when I started it.
Since upgrading to Displayfusion 12.0.1 (not sure if it was the case on 12.0 as well), the game always opens over my whole screen. I then have to go into the game options, select "Windowed" instead of "Fullscreen (Windowed)" and then switch back to make it maximize the way I want it.
So I either have to do this every time (or use the macro SSobka posted twice) I launch the game or play in Windowed mode and maximize the window, which has the disadvantage that I can accidently click the title bar on top of the screen and defocus the game window, when I don't lock my cursor to the window (which I don't want to do)

This would be awesome, really appreciate it that you take feedback serious.

Confiming I am doing something similar where I also need to click the macro twice (sometimes, but not always).
My procedure is usually something like the below.

If I want to EXIT out of WOW FullScreen Borderless:
First, I click the macro to bring me into ("Windowed Mode with Borders").
Then I either move the window where I want it (ALT + LEFT ARROW) or just resize it as needed.

When I want to ENTER into WOW FullScreen Borderless:
I SHIFT-CLICK the MAXIMIZE button on the Wow window first, to get it close to my screen max.
I click the macro to remove the borders and bring WOW into full screen mode - no borders.

Wow, that was way faster than I was expecting and does exactly what I wanted

Thanks a lot!
