HUD display needs improvements on multiple-monitor setups (Eyefinity, triple screen)

[compulsionnra]

I'm using 3 ~1920 x 1200 monitors in a triple screen eyefinity setup horizontally. The game sees the resolution as 6048x1200, but places the hud on the left and right monitors. I would really like to have the hud centered on the main monitor since it isn't very practical to span all 3 monitors.

Please add the ability to center the hud on one screen or constrain a certain pixel or resolution area. I would like to limit it to 1920x1200 for one monitor. Borderlands 2 had a system the limited the HUD to a certain size you could adjust with arrows.

You can run KSP in fake full-screen or full-window mode using either the Launcher settings or the -popupwindow launch option in Steam, and then configure it to run at 1920x1200. Other than that... not many options, I'm afraid... :/

I was running in a window, but for some reason the click locations were slightly off. I was also scrolling off screen since the edges weren't locked. I ended up running it in 1920 x 1200 (which rendered it 3 times) and turned off 2 monitors since seeing the same thing in 3 places is really weird.

Scalable HUD seems like a relatively simple thing to add. With the game in late beta status maybe the devs will be able to.

That's a bug in the most recent KSP version running in windowed mode at full screen. If you do the -popupwindown thing that Vexx mentioned, those particular problems go away.

I don't know for sure, but I've heard the game doesn't like multi monitors in full screen. However, ig you say it works well-ish in window mode, then give that -popupwindow a try. I run KSP this way and it works pretty great for me, except that it doesn't like being minimized. That won't fix the HUD issue though.

I think in order to get the HUD pieces to show up on just one display would take a mod, but I haven't heard of one that can do that. Although what it sounds like you're asking for could also be a reasonable suggestion for stock. It might be something good to add to the suggestions forum.

Can the enhance nav ball mod do that, if the mod have a location button or some configs you can simply set it any where , right ?!?!?!?..

Possibly. Although it's a bit uncertain to me, I think the OPs real problem is that parts of the HUD are showing up on the left monitor (like staging controls) and right monitor (like resources). I think the OP is askinf if there is a way to get all of this information on just the center display while still using the left/right monitors.

So if enhanced navball can move around more than just the navball itself, then it might do what the OP is looking for. I honestly don't know if enhanced navball does all that, or just moves the navball itself.

I only poked around here a little bit and didn't see the suggestion forum.

Claw you're right about above. 1/3 -1/2 of my HUD shows up on right monitor and 1/3-1/2 shows up on left. I try not to raise a big stink about this, but considering the game is in a late-ish beta mode I figured I could ask.

Mod, is there any way you could move the topic so I don't have to recreate / delete?

Moved.

You might want to consider changing/updating the title too.

I'm looking for a solution on this too. Did we ever come up with something? 3 monitors, UI only showing in the middle as if I just had 1.
