Cannot change Input controls with new beta update (3 monitors)

Hello

I use 3 monitors at 5040x1050 resolution 19:9. I created some time ago in the MonitorSetup my configuration like this one:

_ = function(p) return p; end;

name = _('Japo_3Pantallas');

Description = 'Japo configuration'

Viewports =

{

Center =

{

x = 0;

y = 0;

width = screen.width;

height = screen.height;

viewDx = 0;

viewDy = 0;

aspect = screen.aspect*3;

}

}

Gui =

{

x = 1680;

y = 0;

width = 1680;

height = 1050;

}

UIMainView = Gui

the last lines are because that way the menus and splash screens are in the central screen instead of rendering in all 3 screens.

All was perfect until last update (or previous one. I was 1 week vacations).

So now if I choose that config I see this:

All controls are disappeared and I cannot put any new one. Even the top bar labels of each control are blanck.

If I remove that personal config for this one:

_ = function(p) return p; end;

name = _('Japo_3Pantallas_MenuEstirado');

Description = 'Japo configuration'

Viewports =

{

Center =

{

x = 0;

y = 0;

width = screen.width;

height = screen.height;

viewDx = 0;

viewDy = 0;

aspect = screen.aspect*3;

}

}

it works.. and I can put controls... BUT I loose the central menu. I think there is a bug in your latest betas.

Yes, I have the same problem. It has been true for the last 2 or 3 Open Beta updates, maybe the last 4 updates. But it does not exist in the current non-Beta version of DCS.

I have 3 monitors, 1920x1200 each. Windows 10, Nvidia GTX 1080. Windows 10.

I confirmed that if I select the "1 Screen" Monitors setting (using only 1 monitor of course), I can see the controller configs just fine. But if I select "3 Screen", then I get the same result as shown by Japo32's screen shot above. The "1 screen" and "3 screen" settings I am talking about are the default screen settings LUA files provided by EA.

Further testing....

I deleted my Config folder in C:\users\<username>\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Config

and ran DCS. Of course, DCS went to a windowed mode in low resolution. In this state, the Controls menu is fine.

I then selected 1 screen at 1920x1200 (resolution of one of my monitors). The Controls screen is still normal.

Without exiting DCS or changing anything else, I then selected 3 screens and set resolution to 5760x1200. This sets up 3 separate "views", one on each 1920x1200 monitor. Now the Controls menu is messed up.

If I then select 1 screen, but leave 5760x1200, I get 1 "view" which spans my 3 monitors. The Controls screen is normal again.

So it is completely dependent on the selection of multiple views in the "Monitors" setting, but not resolution or aspect ratio.

Note, if I double click on the area where the controller name should be (the heading of a column), it will highlight the text there and I can see it. So the text seems to be there. It just isn't visible.

Hi all,

same probelm here!! grrrr.........

Stable version is ok!

Having the same issue,

running 3 x monitors at 11520 x 6480

Also when I attempt to select 1 monitor in options my graphics driver gets corrupted and I need to reinstall it.

Just playing around with this further, I tried to change back to 1 monitor, however the game kept crashing at the loading screen on startup. the log file got wiped unfortunately, however it did say DX11 backend, and something about compiling shaders?

anyway once I manually changed the Options Lua back to 3 screens it managed to get it to load again. The options menu still has the same issue above.

Applied latest Beta, and still same problem.

Is it a multi monitor error or steam user error?

BTW I've got it as well (three monitors)
