i think it’s due to your FOV being to low ---

Because you haven’t enabled Eyefinity/Surround. What FoV do you have? ---

Tried both low and high FOV. I did enable Surround. ---

Did you do it in Nvidia’s software aswell? ---

Mine does the same thing on 2560x1080 but only for the part that isn’t withing the 16:9 ratio ---

And you are sure that it’s enabled ingame? ---

I have the resolution set to 5760x1080 in game, I assume that’s what you mean? Unless there’s actually a “surround” option in game that would fix this? ---

That’s the problem. ---

I’m fairly certain there isn’t a setting for surround though, just that you set the resolution. ---

Check the user.ini file. There should be multimonitor setting there. ---

You need a higher fov. ---

It’s obviously a feature to emulate peripheral vision! ---

You’ll need to turn up your FOV settings.
