Full Screen Split-Screen With Dual Monitors
Set up dual monitors[citation needed]
|
- Enable Eyefinity or Nvidia Surround mode using the two monitors you want to use.
- Run Dungeon Defenders and set the resolution (via the launcher options menu) to the resolution of the display group (e.g. 3840x1080).
- In-game, set the split-screen mode to Vertical.
Notes
- The menu will be in between the two monitors - This can be difficult to see.
|
Radeon Enhanced Sync Incompatibility (Stuck at 40FPS with framedrops)
Disable Radeon Enhanced Sync[citation needed]
|
- Open AMD Radeon Settings
- Go to the Gaming tab and select "Dungeon Defenders Eternity" (It will show as eternity instead of the original game). This will be pre-selected if you have the game already open.
- Toggle "Radeon Enhanced Sync" to off.
Notes
- It is unclear why the incompatibility exists. Radeon Chill will still function to cap FPS if you have unlocked it past the regular cap.
