[FIX] Broken Triple Screens && FOV slider stuck (88-120)

This was crazy difficult to solve and eventually some info led me to a Pcars2 thread that solved it, as this bug has plagued this engine since then, storing here to make it easier for the next folks that might get struck by it.


PROBLEM:
1. All your FOV Sliders are suddenly set between min 88 and max 120,
2. FOV in inverted, higher == narrower
3. Triple screen broken, works in track videos and replays of track but not ingame,
4. You are no longer able to input into triple screen setup, (you type in but all you see is zeros).
5 .Making changes in triplescreensettings.xml no longer has any effect.

(I have an unlisted video but it shows a beta UX so will share after 1.6 releases)


SOLUTION:
1. Set your game to borderless fullscreen and exit.
2. Disable Nvidia Surround or Eyefinity as suits
3. Start game up and now configure Triples and FOV (controls will now work)
4. Exit Game, re-enable Nvidia surround or Eyefinity as suits
5. Restart game and set to fullscreen again, triples and FOV will work normally again.
6. DO NOT TOUCH FOV OR TRIPLES SETTINGS IN GAME AGAIN.. EVER
7. If you didnt read point 6.. start again at point 1

 

I never had a problem changing the fov slider ingame. I don't use nvidia surround or amd eyefinity enabled with ams2 and I always configure my triple settings from triplescreensettings.xml

Thanks btw.

 

the slider only breaks AFTER the triples break, you will know its affecting you if your fov slider wont go under 88. And you are welcome (actually thask to the bloke on the PCars2 forum who figured out the fix, i just reposted it)
