Eyefinity on 2 monitors

Using DisplayFusion myself. You can set a the wallpaper, screensaver, etc on each monitor individually and games launch on 1 display, as is default on Windows. I'm satisfied with it, and paid the $25 for a lifetime pro version (allows more customization and finer control over each feature). Also adds the taskbar to both monitors, if you so desire.

Hi guys, need some help again.

 

I just got the 2nd monitor and I have been trying to configure the setup. 

 What I want is:

- 2 different wallpapers / one wide  (I have already achieved that with eyefinity )

 -game opens on one screen (right now when I open a game eyefinity setup crashes or something and both monitors have the same image on it. It's not event the normal eyefinity where the picture is merged)

 

Is this even possible and how do I do it ? I know i could just use the extend desktop feature that comes with windows for opening the game on the main monitor. But I don't know how to set up that larger wallpaper

If I'm correct, you put the images into one large image side by side then set it to your wallpaper and select tile
