I have 5 monitors. 3 of them sit on my desk in front of me. I like the width for playing games like HalfLife, MineCraft and others.

I have tried all sorts of methods for various games to make them extend over the entire 5760x1080 "play area". Games like HalfLife, Left4Dead2, No Man Sky do not do well without special considerations. If I use Nvidia surround I can make them all work, Left4Dead2 being the hardest to get configured correctly, but then I have issues when I want to go fly my spaceship in Elite Dangerous, which I want to run at a normal 1920x1080. Because VR and streaming.

I have tried some other programs, Display Magician is good at flipping through the 2 "modes", but there is flickering, swapping, flashing and all sorts of annoying waiting and pausing for the configuration to flip. AND if I am in Wide Game Mode, 5760x1080, change to 5 separate monitors and then try to start Elite in VR every thing crashes, hangs and otherwise gets grumpy. Making me grumpy and annoyed.

I don't mind spending money if it makes things work the way I expect, but I have tried DisplayFusion and it doesnt seem to have the kind of control over programs that I am looking for.

For instance, MineCraft just does the 3 monitor thing regardless of what my actual monitor settings are because i tell it to be 5760x1080, I guess that it just "Overlays" itself on all 3 monitors.

But No Man's Sky requires me to use the Simple Runtime Window Editor. It works, but it is another tool and only solves No Man's Sky.

Left 4 Dead 2 requires that I use Display Magician to flip to a saved "profile" with all the Nvidia surround settings remembered.

It would be great if there was one tool that would manage all these games and their resolution settings in one place. It would be even cooler if I didn't have to flip between Nvidia Surround and 3 separate main monitors.

Is there a function in DisplayFusion that would capture a game and tell it "you can run at 5760x1080 because the monitor is that big."?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Yeah that's not something DisplayFusion supports unfortunately, sorry!
