@Luisb01

Okay, back to the reading board again then!

EDIT: Well, the error messages disappeared, so the advice to get rid of at least one of those
mods still holds. Can you do me another favor by restoring the status you had before starting
the configuration of this scheme? I assume you have made a backup of your old config.cfg
and know how to restore the Nvidia default settings. You should also remove the multimon
configuration file. Then do the same procedure and check if the crash disappear!

@Luisb01

BTW, did you place the multimon_config.sii file in the correct location?
AND another thing, are you using ReShade?

Yes, it is in the same directory as the config file (C:\Documents...\American Truck Simulator

No, I´m not using Reshade!

one quick question guys, the texture filtering - LOD Bias, if for 8xAA its -1.5000 and for 4xAA its -1.0000 am I to presume that for 2xAA its -500? Thanks. Toni

@toni1958

Quick answer, I recommend you keep it at -1.0 at least! It isn't that coordinated to the AA level.

Hi!

Didn´t have my original config file, but just deleted it and let the game build another. Also, I´ve restored NPI to NVIDIA´s default settings... And no error/crash!

Here´s the log:

Thanks again!!

@Luisb01

This is damn odd my friend, but I'll have another look at things.
There were some things in NPI that was not what I expected.
I'll be back, but watching a TV program here now for 1 1/2 hour!

@toni1958 - When i said single file i meant 1 monitor as apposed to 3. But that's because my much lower resolution works ok like that stretched across my 3 screens... your 3x1920x1080 would be far too stretched as a single and now you've said your resolution i can say that 5760x1080 for a 1050ti at 4xAA is way too high.
You should try at 2xAA and in config.cfg set vsync=2 - that gives 30fps at 60hz - I assume your tv is 60hz.

Lots of questions:
The size of the screens doesn't matter, it's the individual resolutions that count and they are all the same, so nvidia surround will work ok. But i assume the 2 21" are much smaller than the 40".
Are they rotated 90 degrees either side of the 40" tv? or all 3 are landscape and therefore look strange as the side ones are smaller?
I have no idea how to make it work with side ones rotated, btw.
Before trying this AA were you using the same setup and were happy with it? Did you have a special multimon file?
Assuming they're all landscape and the 2 side ones are about half the height of the centre, i could supply a special multimon file to line up along the top of all monitors with the 2 side ones only displaying about half the image down over so it looks right across all 3 from top to about halfway and then the tv only has the bottom of the image and there's just space under the side monitors - a T shape, if you can understand that?

But that won't solve your problem at those resolutions.

@Luisb01

No, I can't pin down anything that could cause these crashes. Now that
you have restored everything, sort of, could you then please do JUST
the first 3 steps in the first post once more. Then STOP there and check
if you get AA properly and if the game still crashes?
