Triple Monitor Support - 5760x1080 Resolution: UI Issue


Edit: It's a long image, right click to display it to see it better.


I set up a triple monitor display last night and fired up POE. The shot above was taken from three 27" 1920x1080 monitors set up in 5760x1080 resolution across them. The game works fantastically and it's really immersive. However there is one problem: The UI.

The buffs/debuffs/minion count is in the top left side of the screen which makes it difficult to see at a glance, and the health/mana are out of the way as well.

I would propose that the whole UI be anchored to the center screen so that you get the same experience as you would with a single monitor.

Quality reply right here.
The UI doesn't need to be centred. The problem is with allowing that aspect ratio in the first place.

PoE should be forced into 16:9, 16:10, and/or 4:3 (with letterboxing if required). So long as it isn't, all you have to do is walk up or down to explore a map because you can see so far sideways.

This is an exploit, in my opinion. I know GGG has a lot to juggle right now, but I'm surprised this wasn't dealt with a long time ago. It has been brought up many times and undoubtedly (ab)used in races.
Please center the HUD for us multi monitor users. My poor neck. Other than this one issue I would like to thank you for the triple monitor support as most free to play games have all kinds of issues when running in 5760x1080.
bump for ability to center hud on one screen or perhaps an option to resize/move it?
Bump. I love this game but it sucks when I have to play single screen when I have the other 2 available. It works perfectly other than the fact that the non-centered hud makes it unplayable at the moment. The triple screen is so much more immersive and will continue to become a more common setup. Support will have to be added at some point!
Confirming that single monitor setups are dying.
Bump !

Any news from GGG about this ?
yeah i would like this also, i'm buying 3 monitors in about a month or so and just wanting to play everything with a 3 monitor setup
