DF installed via Steam
Nvidia 2080 SUPER
1080p Smart TV
1080p Dell monitor
4k smart TV.
Attempting to apply a 3-way mirror of 1080p@60, when there are 2 already in this configuration, and the 3rd is just extended in 1080p@60 causes DF to completely stop responding. My only option is to end it from task manager and restart it.
The only way to apply is from Windows settings, or the nvidia control panel.
Need more info? Just let me know.

Thanks. I made a mistake in what I told you. I can apply the settings from nvidia control panel, but not from the Windows settings app.
Does this mean that I have to use the nvidia control panel, if I want to mirror all 3 displays? If you still want the logs, after learning this, I'll be glad to provide them.
Ah thanks for clarifying. DisplayFusion uses the Windows API to set the monitor configuration, so if it doesn't work there it won't work in DisplayFusion either.
I don't think there's much we can do here, but a log definitely wouldn't hurt.
Thanks!

5:41p (almost 5:42) - load from single 1080p@60Htz display to full 3 display mirror was a complete success (Profile loaded called "Full Mirror" 3x1080p@60Hz)
5:42p - Load from "Streaming" (one primary, and another extended, both at 1080p@60Htz) to full 3 display mirror was a total fail, instead applying some weird display setting not included in my display configurations. (Primary upscaled 1080p to 4k, but otherwise didn't change the profile)
Requested logs are attached. With there being a success from single display mode, I'm thinking there might be a solution. (That's something the Windows Settings app doesn't do)
Edit: All times are Eastern US

I'm wondering if the log was lost, when DF crashed. I can try again, if you want. Might even be easier, if you tell me where the logs are physically stored (so I can grab them before they're overwritten on app restart). This is the Steam version. The errors you saw were possibly because of the funky display configuration it left behind on failure.
In answer to your question, Yes. Here's how they are configured...
4K Theater Display (always set as primary, usually at 1080p@60Htz, and always identifies as 2)
1080p PC monitor (Usually set as extended to the left, rarely mirrors with 2, always at native resolution, and always identifies as 1)
1080p HDTV (Handicapped display, always mirrors either 1, or 2, and always identifies as 3)
I'll give the beta a try, and see if it changes anything. Anything special I have to do to update to it, or just run the installer?
Yep you can just run the installer overtop of your current install. You could also open the DisplayFusion Settings > Options > enable "Check for new beta versions", and then click "Check for updates now".
Thanks!

DisplayFusion sees my display IDs the same as Windows does. How would it be different with the beta? I'm trying to decide if it will be worth it to grab the beta.
DisplayFusion grabs the monitor ID's from the Windows API, so they should be the same. The beta adjusts the way the monitor ID's are saved with the profiles.
