Enable Eyefinity mode using the two monitors you want to use. Then open Dungeon Defenders and go into the config, and change the resolution to Custom Resolution to the resolution of the eyefinity monitor you have created (E.g. 3840x1080). And change the splitscreen mode to Vertical. Launch the game. *Note that the menu will be in between the two monitors - This can be difficult to see*
