Multiple Monitors

Supported

Published on April 1, 2005 By Baub In Bug Reports

Are multiple monitors supported? I'd love to have GC2 full screen in my prmary monitor and email/web open in the secondary monitor. Right now, it looks like the secondary screen has its resolution 'adjusted' and everything is shifted over.

I suggest playing in Windowed mode if you're looking to multi-task. When you run a fullscreen DirectX app it will always lock the focus.

Also, you can set it to run in a window that's the size of your primary monitor. So it'll be like fullscreen except that edge scrolling may not work.

Great ideas, thanks!

Yeah, I am using extended monitor and it actually works fine. However, edge scrolling can get annoying as you have to stop in the edge and not let the mouse go over.

One problem I'm having playing in a window on the primary screen is that if I slowly move the mouse to the top of the screen, I can't get past the window's title bar (blue bar that says GalCiv2 0.0.0). It seems that the mouse is getting its position reset below the line.

If I push my mouse really fast, I can exit via the top of the window.

Hmmm...the code that translates the mouse coordinates must be unforgiving. I'll add that to my list to look at.
