So i'm going nvidia surround pretty soon and i noticed from google, that sc 2 doesn't support it...
So im wondering does anyone have a work around? a hack if you will that wont get me band.

I think its BS that blizz would do this, but w.e

Also does anyone else know of any other games that don't work with NS?

Nope Starcraft II does not support any version of multi monitor be it Nvidia Surround or AMD Eyefinity. Blizzard deemed being able to view a massive chunk of the map a huge advantage over your opponent. And in all honesty I gotta agree with them on that one. If you're able to see your opponent's base at a glance and any troops he is sending your way way before he could see any of yours, that will take the games balance and toss it out the window. If you know what your enemy is sending your way and what he's building at all times that will give you too much of an advantage in that game.
 
There is no known work around that won't get you banned from online play. I too was disappointed in Blizzard's decision at first when I started playing the game. But now I understand why they did it. You would be able to dominate your opponent and counter any of his defenses and troops he is preparing.
 
This is a lot different than a 1st person shooter like Battlefield or Call of Duty. Sure multi monitor users have a slight advantage over single screen users in FPS games, but the difference is that you opponent can react just as fast as you and while multi monitor does grant you more peripheral vision, it doesn't let you see the vast majority of the map at any given time and clearly see where and what your enemies are doing.
 
Maybe they should have allowed multi monitor for the single player campaign, but if they did it would only be a matter of weeks before someone found a way to exploit it and use it in multiplayer as well.

As far as I know SC 2 is the only one. But there is some games out that will not work at all or the aspect retio is all mess-up. Masseffect 1 for example the game works on 5760x1080 but the aspec retio is all off Black ops, bioshok,MW2 but there is a fix for big name games like that. And after that you get the problem with UI. like L4d 1 or 2 Your weapons are on the right screen and your friends health is on the left. The latest game I tested is DC univers online and it's the same way. There are some UI fixes that you can get but it's not 100%. the one for l4d2 only works on non official servers.

Isn't this post in a wrong place?

Excellent explanation Crap!

u have to go portrait in order for SC2 to work and it's just a blown up view
(old pic but it will show you what I'm talking about)

been thinking about surround as cheating...
What erks me is that if we were allowed to use surround without having to resort to a cracked beta version and the hayden "fix"...
The players who would call that an unfair advantage would completely forget about that perception the next day! And at worst maybe QQ about it twice in a year if even remembering to  be petty and envious. On the other badly dealt hand...
The Surround = ban penalty affects me every single time I want to fire up STARCRAFT and now probably DIABLO. It's like having a color TV set and being forced by a network to view their offerings in Black and White so as not to offend those not wishing to spend the money on that aspect of their system.
And it comes down to that. If a greasy fry cook can build surround out of three 27inch 3d Acer monitors than "ANYONE" can do the same. That same choice I had to make ( eviction,a life, 3 square meals vs surround system ) and the fact that poor people can find 3 monitors under 100 on sale @ new egg at least once a month is what makes ANY hardware advantage fair.
