[RESOLVED] Game Extender shows only small part

[marlon79]

Greetings!

I am having an issue with my game extender and hope anyone can help me. Trying to fix it for 2 days now but without susseS and i have tried finding sollutions online but without succes aswell.

All of a sudden game extender does not want to show the complete images but only shows like 10% of the top part and fills the rest with black. This happens when I load game extender on my second screen while before it was working and i did not change any of the settings.

I have to note that at one point I added a third monitor (for pinballx) and i think it started after that but im not surE if that caused the problem.

I have gona back to using two monitors and reinstalled Gameex, freshly but the problem persists.

What can I do?

here is a picture of how it loads... it does this in fullscreen aswell

hope anyone has any ideas,

thanks!

This may be a stretch, but zabrin discovered a few weeks ago that the Gaming Evolved app by Raptr was causing GameEx to crash, which in turn led to the same discovery with PBX. If you're running the full Catalyst suite with this app insatlled, try disabling it, and see what happens.

Tnx for the tip!

indeed,.. I had this problem several days ago and his fix did the job for PBX screwing up backglasses.

So i havnt got the these raptr files running.

Strange thing is,.. when i activate the gameinfo plugin and the game extender at the same time, the image marquee

that i want it (game extender) to show does appear correct when playing a game.. but above the gameinfo plugin.

While in Gameex it keeps showing just a tiny part where before it showed the complete images as i flipped through the games .

Its truly amazing

Interesting. I'm not sure I'm following the exact details of your setup, but what happens if you disable the GameInfo plugin?

[marlon79]

If i turn off game info, game extender tries to show the custom images that i asigned.

But fails and only shows 10%.. When i set extender to show the default images like stats on the 2nd monitor, it screws up the same.

Everything else like other programs show up without a problem whithin windows on this second screen.

Im trying to work reverse of what i did last fee days... Like: is it possible that this started after i run the registration file

that i have gotton two days ago? (Just guessing) Im not sure if this problem was already their because i did not use gameex for a few days before using the key.... Im going to install gameex without key again and see if problem persists

By the way im on

-win7 pro 64/16gb

-Amd hd5700 card (Raptr off) to which both screens are connected

-Nvidia geforce 210 (not used or connected when using gameex but i connect third monitor to this to show dmd's in pbx)

-Hdmi tv at 1280x720 60hz

-Dvi lcd monitor at 1280x720 60hz (Acer's) (i have 3 spare with same specs and all show GameExtender wrong)

In the few days before using the regkey there was a third monitor connected in my setup for PBX's DMD's.

But since i noticed the problem in gameex i took one monitor out because when I was using gamerx before i had two monitors so i figured a third could be causing the problem.

Gonna be another trial n error day i guess :v

Good lord! Got it sorted out!

I reconnected my third monitor to the nvidia card, switched off GameExtender (enable off, start and exit off) in the setup wizard,,.then I enabled GameInfo plug and used GameInfo plug configure app to set Display screen 2 and screen settings: Game 2, attract 3 (which are my marquees) , jukebox 2 and Extender viewer settings under the 'More' tab to enabled.

So actualy i got more then i wanted. Cos now playfield is TV, game info is above that on LCD1 and marquees appear respectivly above that on third monitor. (Ingame)

The only thing that is different now is that when i browse through the games in GamEx, the marquees dont show on any of the screens as it did before when i was only using GameExtender ,

but I sure as hell can live with that.

Im a happy man cos my pbx also uses 3 screen setup so its win win now

U can close this.

Thanks guys

Thanks for letting us know!

I should probably add GX menu support to Game Info, then you could have everything you wanted.
