Great Guide mate, thank you. I did it using the guide and found the vid today,and is even easier to follow, especially the little adjustments so you can make sure the view is bang on!
nice tut. For anyone doing this. It would be best if you have monitors with same specs, or the same monitors. Or maybe set both monitors up with the same display settings. I reduced my 4k monitor to match my 1080P monitor. Don't be afraid to change all the values manually while in game. The app is nice
There is another, much easier way to do this (although it does have a down side running two screens). 1. Create a custom resolution on your MAIN screen. This is your overall resolution of your multiple monitors, so if you have two 1920*1080 monitors your resolution would be 3840*1080. 2. In video options of any game, make sure you're not playing fullscreen (IE you're in windowed mode), and select the custom resolution. Then drag the window so it is centred across your screens. Cons: You get the frame right in the middle of the screen (if you're using two screens) Pros: Don't need all your screens to be the same size (I have one main screen and two smaller screens either side, turned on their side) Don't need to run 3rd party software Don't need to switch screens
Hi iFLIP, as per my steam guide: There are TWO video.ini files. One in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\assettocorsa\cfg and one in C:\Users\Ryan\Documents\Assetto Corsa\cfg . Make sure you edit the latter, i.e. the one in your Users, Documents etc. folder, NOT the other one. The one has the HEIGHT and WIDTH, the other does not.
Dual monitor is great so you can have the whole dash spread across your fov as if you were really driving , its great idea but I wany to centre the steering wheel screen and have the other to the right so I can see next to me without using looking back view
05-April-2022 work fine but I have two different size 1080p, which is 23.8" (left) and 27" (right) is there any way to make the game "fit" ? It's hard to explain this, but it's like the 27" monitor have bigger display
Would there be a way to do this with monitors of the same size but different resolutions and refresh rates? I have one 2560x1440 @ 74hz monitor and another 1920x1080@144hz monitor. If the resolution is locked to 74 that's not as big of a problem, but i would like to have the game run at native resolutions for both monitors. I have to have the 1080p 144hz monitor set as my primary display in windows because that's what I play all steam games from. Thanks in advance. (My 1440p monitor is on the left with my wheel infront and my 1080p monitor is on the right) Edit: So I tried it by just using 5760x1080 and I didn't work, as it used the full screen of the 1080p monitor but only a bit of the 1440p monitor on the left. If I set the 1440p display to 1080 in windows display settings it works fine, but I'd like to have them both at native res if possible.
Hi yz249, that's an interesting scenario. I think you may get some perspective distortion due to the differing resolutions. I think the best way to get around this may actually be to try something else, like "Nvidia Surround" if you have an Nvidia card or Eyefinity if you have AMD gfx card, using those programs should be able to better 'merge' the differing resolution/aspect ratios. There's a particular article here where someone has tried something similar: www.assettocorsa.net/forum/index.php?threads/adjusting-3-screen-setup-with-different-side-screens.20037/.
@@Tebb_ZA So playing with the second monitor set to 1080 in the windows display works fine for me now, I was wondering if you could make this work with BeamNG Drive? There's no option for custom resolution, and editing the resolution in the .ini doesn't save ti the game for some reason. I can make it work by manually dragging the window across both monitors, then choosing 5760x1080 in SRWE, but the game is then windowed and not Borderless.
@@yz249 hey dude, unfortunately I don't own beamNG.drive so can't play around with settings. You can try make the ini file read-only after editing it,that may prevent changes after saving
This is what i need but it killed my fps with all these filters etc. im just curious if we could disable one monitor that we dont use after aligning the view
hello, nice tutorial! I had a question, now having a triple 27 "1080p, I wanted to replace the middle one with a 32" 2k, do you think this tutorial is also valid for a triple screen setup?
@@Tebb_ZA I would like to use all 3 in 2k therefore 7680x1440p and use the application to resize the 2 external 1080p to make them right with the 32", I guess I have to try :P
Hey man, I've been playing around with SRWE 3:51 a bit over the last few days. I just seen this guide where your editing the video settings in the back end. I havnt had to this to mine, so was just wondering why we are doing this change? It may be in your written guide but thought I'd just throw our the question here. I'm running 3 3440x1440 monitors but the way the screens are set up it's better to either play on just two screens or play running on my main screen with a set up of a dual-screen at 6880x1440 centred on my main screen. This gives space on half of my two outter screens to run OBS and anything else. I'm not sure if this changes anything though. Thank you for the guide all in all hoping to learn a little more by the question
Hi! Perhaps its an optional / unnecessary change now, this guide is over 6 years old 😅 I think with you having 3 screens but only wanting to run on 2, won't really make much difference - technically this guide I've got is actually simulating a triple screen anyway, and just hiding the one screen.
@@Tebb_ZA thanks mate, seen the video was put put years ago now and just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing out on something. Thanks for the reply on a 6 year old vid man, that's dedication
Is there a way to use this program properly on 2 screens and 3840x1080 resolution? Giving value on the x axis works, but the desktop appears on the right side of the screen. When using 2 screens, what should we do to show the steering wheel on the left screen and the remaining right side of the vehicle on the right screen?
Yep, it should work flawless especially if both screens are the same size and resolution. To make the steering wheel appear on the monitor you want, after setting up everything in the SRWE app, find the buttons called "left" and "right" in SRWE to adjust. See video at 8:42 for the buttons?
@@Tebb_ZA I press the left and right buttons, but as I said, it does not switch to the right or left even though there are 2 screens with 3840x1080 resolution. Buttons work only on 3 screen resolutions, i.e. 5760x1080 resolution
Doesnt work for me... it doesnt line up at all also I have a 1440p and 1080p monitor. The 1080p is my problem... its like moved left too far and also moved down. Also the 1080p monitor is stretched af and I cant see the icons without having my wheel in the middle...
Interesting. I haven't checked this again in quite some time, theres a chance that it really needs same size monitors now to work properly. Sorry my guide didn't help 😭
ah cool. glad it worked for you that way. This vid is so old now, there's a chance some things were tweaked by the game engine along the way. Initially the thinking was to make it x3 so that there was no distortion, or that things weren't off-centered incorrectly.
@@Tebb_ZA ah ok, now with content manager you do everything there and then just run the program, no distortion aside from my different monitor resolutions, which is a monitor thing and not a software thing...
Can you see them but nothing happens when you click on them? If so not sure. If you're can't see them, the pull out bar is on the right screen and you need to flick screens using the button toggles.
Good questions Devin. Re. loading up SRWE each time - Yes as far as I've experienced, I would need to load up SRWE everytime to set/position the screens. This is why I recommend saving a 'profile' / preset so that it makes the process somewhat quicker. You could probably also macro the process to automate it. Re. moving single monitors, while I think this isn't possible using SRWE as that moves the entire game screen as if it were one monitor, you can possible move one monitor via the Windows Desktop Settings e.g. to shift a monitor up or down in relation to your other monitors.
@@devinwang1603 Swapping my HDMI cables between both monitors after setting all this up made it default to the preffered window position every time I load the game for me at least
I managed to set up monitors via nvidia surround, but I can’t pretend, because if I take the steering wheel to the main monitor, the fov itself remains and I seem to be sitting in the center of the car
re. the ini file missing the height and width, that sounds like you may be editing the wrong file. NB: There are TWO video.ini files. One in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\assettocorsa\cfg and one in C:\Users\\Documents\Assetto Corsa\cfg . Make sure you edit the latter, i.e. the one in your Users, Documents etc. folder, NOT the other one. Try / check that? Otherwise, I'm not sure, sorry.
For some reason SRWE has stopped detecting acs.exe in the application area, i scroll through and can't find it and I don't know what to do. It started happening when I upgraded to CSP 1.80 that I paid for and don't really want to have wasted my money lol
Just did a quick test, if you put fullscreen mode to off, and then use SRWE to change the resolutions as per the guide, it works fine. You may need to fiddle with the FOV settings depending on what camera you like to drive with.
Right, probably depending by the thickness of the frame and by the type of car it can be more or less convenient to have the left rear view mirror or a clean central frontview
Good question. It absolutely does! (It should work on any game that supports 'windowed' mode, as well as those designed to support triple monitor). I hadn't specifically tried it before, but just loaded up DiRT Rally and did the config, and it worked just fine! Select drt.exe in the SWRE program. Make sure to turn 'fullscreen' mode off in the video options.
@@Tebb_ZA That's a fantastic friend! I have ordered 2 usb 3.0 to VGA adapters this week to connect my laptop to two vga monitors that I have to use in dirt rally and assato corsa. The main idea is to use only two monitors at the moment and later expand a third one. Must I modify some file? 3:54 minute? Thank you very much for answering Like + Sub my friend!
@@kueto27 i didnt need to modify a file for DiRT Rally, i just kept the initial video mode in the in-game settings to 1920x1080 'windowed', and then once started in the car, then apply the SRWE window resizing.
hmm. i hadn't personally encountered a need for that so hadn't tried it. I just loaded up the app however to test, and it appears unfortunately that functionality does *not* currently exist. However, the application is open-source on GIThub, so it should be relatively easy to modify. I may go and try modify it myself if I get time, or else can just open a request :) . In the meantime, there might be an alternate software to use that supports hotkeys too, I see some people have used 'ShiftWindow' app
the apps panel only appears on the extreme right hand side, of the right-most monitor. try flip to that monitor and move your mouse to that right edge, does it show then?
@@Tebb_ZA oh i understand now, thanks a lot. A last question, is it normal that on my second screen there is a fade ta black ? the opposite part of the second screen is black
either you're editing the wrong video.ini file (there are two different ones, in two different locations -- mentioned in the guide and youtube vid), or, you havent first saved the in-game settings menu to create the initial video height/width (e.g. the 1920x1080). Worst case scenario - try just add those values in yourself via text editor :)
Because instead of rendering about 2 million pixels (1920x1080), now your PC must render about 6 million pixels (1920x1080x3). Sounds like your PC isn't strong enough to render triples). Try turn quality or detail down.
Hi @Ay Guy, it sounds like you're possibly looking in the wrong file path location, or alternatively you are not displaying file extensions so don't see the *.ini files. Make sure you're looking in the right place - i.e. C:\Users\\Documents\Assetto Corsa\cfg\ and NOT C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\assettocorsa\cfg\
Check you're using the right video.ini file (as per the text guide -- there are two), else if you are, try punch it in manually, else failing that, I'm sorry ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯
You should, so no idea why you don't, sorry. check you don't have hidden files/folders as well as system files hidden in your windows settings (perhaps the ini files are counting as system files).
@@grqfes cool -- yea remember you're now suddenly rendering THREE screens worth of pixels instead of ONE, so it will be quite a taxing hit on resources. You'll need to balance the quality vs performance to get to a happy medium you're personally happy with :)
Hi Chakotay2222, thanks for the suggestion. I have tried that in the past, but the 'triple-screen' mode provided a distorted view of my screens despite tweaking. Unfortunately some of the benefits I do lose are the ability to set the side angle, and the bezel width - but I have really narrow bezels, so I don't really notice. You also mentioned that you "need no program" - I found that if you're using the built-in "triple monitor" option, you still then need the separate SRWE program to switch between the left middle and right screens as you can only display two screens at once - and otherwise can't access either the floating plugin modules on the right-hand monitor, or the menu systems on the left monitor. Let me know if you've found a different way however?
My understanding is, that if your other monitor looks 'stretched', then this means that its running at a different resolution to your main monitor. You might be able to make it look a bit better, by seeing if you can adjust the native resolution of the other monitor (i.e. in windows display settings) either up or down, so that the height in pixels matches your main monitor (or as close as possible). That may not be possible however if they're very different in size, and then I think you're a bit stuck.
Perhaps you missed this in the guide: NB: There are TWO video.ini files. One in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\assettocorsa\cfg and one in C:\Users\\Documents\Assetto Corsa\cfg . Make sure you edit the latter, i.e. the one in your Users, Documents etc. folder, NOT the other one. The one has the width/height, the other does not.
@@FurdeutschlandRAHHHH ok - sorry not sure otherwise, its definitely there for me. Perhaps try save/re-save the configs to generate the file, or try manually add those lines in as per my steam guide.

@@kueto27 i didnt need to modify a file for DiRT Rally, i just kept the initial video mode in the in-game settings to 1920x1080 'windowed', and then once started in the car, then apply the SRWE window resizing.
@@Tebb_ZA very very thanks! greetings from Spain and Merry Christmas
@@kueto27 cheers! and to you too 🎄
hey man, what needs to be my FOV
Try googling for "FoV calculator", it will differ depending on the Sim, the size of the screen, distance front the screen etc.
Fancy mate
Is there a way to set hotkeys to switch between the different monitors in the Simple Runtime Windows Editor?
hmm. i hadn't personally encountered a need for that so hadn't tried it. I just loaded up the app however to test, and it appears unfortunately that functionality does *not* currently exist. However, the application is open-source on GIThub, so it should be relatively easy to modify. I may go and try modify it myself if I get time, or else can just open a request :) . In the meantime, there might be an alternate software to use that supports hotkeys too, I see some people have used 'ShiftWindow' app
+Ryan Hill (Tebb) Ok. Thanks for the lightning fast reply, especially since it's past midnight!
William Austin hehe, just happened to be up. Bit of insomnia
Any updates on this? Would like to know this too haha
just cant get this to work!!!
Thanks!!!!
Great but i cant open the apps> can you help me
the apps panel only appears on the extreme right hand side, of the right-most monitor. try flip to that monitor and move your mouse to that right edge, does it show then?
@@Tebb_ZA i can’t because the third screen on the right is not accessible because i didn’t have it
@@layze3953 watch what I do at 8:47 --- in the SRWE app, click 'right' to flick to the virtual right monitor.
@@Tebb_ZA oh i understand now, thanks a lot. A last question, is it normal that on my second screen there is a fade ta black ? the opposite part of the second screen is black
@@layze3953 not 100% sure, sorry, sounds like perhaps the initial resolution wasn't set to stretch across all three perhaps.
when i went to edit video width wasnt there any idea why?
either you're editing the wrong video.ini file (there are two different ones, in two different locations -- mentioned in the guide and youtube vid), or, you havent first saved the in-game settings menu to create the initial video height/width (e.g. the 1920x1080). Worst case scenario - try just add those values in yourself via text editor :)
Why did my game go from 80 fps to 20 after doin this?
Because instead of rendering about 2 million pixels (1920x1080), now your PC must render about 6 million pixels (1920x1080x3). Sounds like your PC isn't strong enough to render triples). Try turn quality or detail down.
@@Tebb_ZA nvm i changed from.single monitor setting to triple monitor and now i'm gettin 70 fps
@@Tebb_ZA tq for the response
my file types say configuration filers not ini files
Hi @Ay Guy, it sounds like you're possibly looking in the wrong file path location, or alternatively you are not displaying file extensions so don't see the *.ini files. Make sure you're looking in the right place - i.e. C:\Users\\Documents\Assetto Corsa\cfg\ and NOT C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\assettocorsa\cfg\
hi @@Tebb_ZA, l have the same problem, l dodn't see any file in Documents folder.. any help?
C:\Users\\Documents
@@4am475 C:\Users\\Documents\Assetto Corsa\cfg -> "video.ini". Its there (it can't not be). If you don't see it, you're looking in the wrong place.
@@Tebb_ZA you didn't understund me.. l said when l go the the this file C:\Users\\Documents\, the documents folder for me its
empty..
@@4am475 no idea why. Sounds like you have a non standard install path then, or AC is pointing to a different user folder.
resolution is not showing in my video.ini
Check you're using the right video.ini file (as per the text guide -- there are two), else if you are, try punch it in manually, else failing that, I'm sorry ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯
@Ryan Hill i do not have anything in the documents file only in the steam apps one
You should, so no idea why you don't, sorry. check you don't have hidden files/folders as well as system files hidden in your windows settings (perhaps the ini files are counting as system files).
@@Tebb_ZA damn i just found it lol thanks
Im try but dont show de programs.
man im getting 30 fps
actually nah im getting 240 on lowest
@@grqfes cool -- yea remember you're now suddenly rendering THREE screens worth of pixels instead of ONE, so it will be quite a taxing hit on resources.
You'll need to balance the quality vs performance to get to a happy medium you're personally happy with :)
All you had to do is use tripple monitor option, you need no program for that and you dont get fish eye streched left monitor😁
Hi Chakotay2222, thanks for the suggestion.
I have tried that in the past, but the 'triple-screen' mode provided a distorted view of my screens despite tweaking. Unfortunately some of the benefits I do lose are the ability to set the side angle, and the bezel width - but I have really narrow bezels, so I don't really notice.
You also mentioned that you "need no program" - I found that if you're using the built-in "triple monitor" option, you still then need the separate SRWE program to switch between the left middle and right screens as you can only display two screens at once - and otherwise can't access either the floating plugin modules on the right-hand monitor, or the menu systems on the left monitor. Let me know if you've found a different way however?
you're probably not active anymore but i have a slight problem, why si everything so stretched on my other monitor? is there anyway i can fix it?
My understanding is, that if your other monitor looks 'stretched', then this means that its running at a different resolution to your main monitor. You might be able to make it look a bit better, by seeing if you can adjust the native resolution of the other monitor (i.e. in windows display settings) either up or down, so that the height in pixels matches your main monitor (or as close as possible).
That may not be possible however if they're very different in size, and then I think you're a bit stuck.
@@Tebb_ZA its really weird because the top half of my monitor is aligned but not the bottom half.
hey i cant find height and width
i looked under my user but it just isnt there
can you please help me?
Perhaps you missed this in the guide:
NB: There are TWO video.ini files. One in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\assettocorsa\cfg and one in C:\Users\\Documents\Assetto Corsa\cfg . Make sure you edit the latter, i.e. the one in your Users, Documents etc. folder, NOT the other one.
The one has the width/height, the other does not.
@@Tebb_ZA i looked in both and under my User it isnt anywhere
@@FurdeutschlandRAHHHH ok - sorry not sure otherwise, its definitely there for me. Perhaps try save/re-save the configs to generate the file, or try manually add those lines in as per my steam guide.
@@Tebb_ZA you can ad them manually? Will do that! Thank you very much
