I have three screens, that all have different native resolutions each, but I set them up to display 1280x720 on the three, but battlefield doesn't want to let me use the three displays for the game, could anyone help?

Hey ilw8,
I'm sure you'll be asked for specifics, especially the video card(s), driver version, OS version, etc.
I have a Nvidia GTX680 and have a similar problem. I can only play in Window-Mode, yet stretch the window across all three monitors to get it to work. Currently, if I try to use Nvidia's "Surround", which creates a single 5860x1080 monitor, Windows 8.1 has a fit somehow, some way. Many threads across sites repeat the same complaint, that Nvidia hasn't gotten the grasp on Windows 8.1 and triple-monitor support.
So best config so far is to disable Surround, letting Windows 8.1 control the three monitors, in Window-Mode. You'd think that I'd be able to do "Full Screen" at least on one monitor, but no, again I'm left with a mouse cursor, a black screen (yet still a window), and all of the sound. Clicking on one of my other two monitors suddenly drops the window to a slightly smaller resolution, but at the menu (Resume, Options, etc.) as if I hit ESC. Clicking anywhere in the window pops up the full-screen-window, filled with black, so I'm unable to change Options.
I've read a few threads and even did a suggested:
- DXSetup from within the Battlefield subdirectories (dont remember the exact location)
- A PunkBuster repair process
- A Battlefield 4 repair from the Origin menu.
...unfortunately, I get the same exact problem.
Wish I had more for you, but this is one headache I'm having with Windows 8.1 and my Nvidia configuration.

Has anybody come up with a fix for this?
This thread is now heading for 4 years old and I have just tried to run Mad Max over 3 screens and it only wants me to use 1 monitor, you would have thought by now there was a fix for this.
I had set up the surround graphics in Nvidia which worked fine up till starting the game, then it shut down 2 monitors and ran on 1, running in window mode isn't something I wish to do since I am left with the taskbar across the bottom and even if you auto hide it, it comes up in the middle of a game if your cursor moves there (not good when streaming).
You would think with the way modern gaming is, this would be a normal part of the game programming options by now.
Any help would be much appreciated
