RBR_MultiMonitor

Some kind of guide to users with more than one monitor

Update 4/2024:

This article is outdated. New OpenRBRTriples plugin will be released at rsf #soon.

FAQ:

Is it possible to play RBR with triple screen setup? - Yes.

Do I need Nvidia Surround/AMD Eyefinity? - No you don't (But you can if you want to).

Can I have different size screens? How many? I have tested with 4 monitors & mixed sizes.

 Does RBR have native triple screen support? (Support for angled monitors) - No. 

How to config multi monitor setup for RBR?

 [Tested with Windows11 & RBR with RSF mod]

Use SoftTH program. SoftTH is made by Kegetys, the same guy who made VR plugin for RBR.

I recommed "older" version made by Kegetys. For RBR you must pick DX9 v2.08 alpha. (http://www.softth.net/) NOT the 64bit version. (RBR is 32bit program...)

- Extract zip.

- Move d3d9.dll to your RBR folder.

- Launch RBR.

        Config file config.SoftTHconfig not found.
        Create default configuration?
        "

- Yes 

SoftTH detects your setup. 

        "
        Created config config.SoftTHconfig.
        render resolution A x B with C heads
        "
Resolution (A x B) should be your total resolution. heads means how many monitors are detected.
Example: FullHD triple screen setup: "render resolution 5760x1080 with 3 heads"

- OK

If you need to change setting, config file (config.SoftTHconfig) is in RBR directory

 

RBR with 27" + 27" + 49" + 27". Total resolution 12800 x 1440, visible 10240x1440.
