WoW defaulting to aspect ratio of my second monitor

by Screampuff » Mon Nov 02, 2015 6:27 pm

Hello, I have 2 monitors one is 1920x1080 the other 1280x1024. WoW will always choose the aspect ratio 4:3 from my second monitor and stretch the image even though the resolution is still 1920x1080.

I swapped ports the monitors are plugged into on my video card and no dice. If I start my computer with the second monitor unplugged, open WoW, it will be correct then I can plug in the second monitor, but if I reboot I have the same problem once again.

The game is in borderless windowed mode and I manually set resolution in Config.wtf. Is there a way to force "wide" or 16:9 aspect ratio somehow? Anything else I can do?

Thanks but I'm not trying to run WoW on two monitors. Just on one monitor without the aspect ratio being wrong.

In any case I found a utility that lets me create a virtual resolution of 1920x1080 for my second monitor and I was then able to select this resolution in game which fixed the problem. Not really ideal but I couldn't find another solution.
