We utilize a triple UHD monitor setup. Using full resolution accross all monitors requires a resolution of 11520x2160. You can set basically any value you like.
If you record or stream, you may want to have space left or/and right of your game the controls and chat windows, use a smaller resolution for example 10000x2160.
In order to achieve that, you need to start Star Citizen and login completly at least once. After that quit the game and the launcher.
| Name | Default Value | Modified Value | Modified Attribute |

After changed these values, you’ll need to change “Field Of View” once more in the Graphics settings, set it to max possible.
