Tech Question to Players: Multi-monitor?

[Vic]

Hey there,

Just a quick question. Anybody running the game on a multi-monitor setup?

Best wishes,
Vic

[kosmoface]

Here. What do you want to know?

[Vic]

Thanks for responding.

Basically whats your setup?
-Operating System (win7/win10/etc)
-The monitor resolutions
-If you run the game spread out over multiple monitors or in 1

best wishes,
Vic

Windows 10
Primary 1920x1080, secondary 1360x768
I only play on the primary screen

Windows 7. Two monitors, only playing on primary.
1920x1200 (primary)
1680x1050 (secondary)

-Operating System (win7/win10/etc)
Windows 8.1

-The monitor resolutions
2560x1440
1900x1080

-If you run the game spread out over multiple monitors or in 1
1 monitor (the 2560 one)

I think the only game I play on both is command ops 2. On the secondary are nearly all panels I don't directly need.

Windows 10

13.3" 1920x1080 (laptop screen)
22.0" 1920x1080 (external monitor)

I play only on the big one, easier on the eyes.

Windows 10

1920-1080
1680-1050

Recently switch to a single ultrawidescreen 29" Dell at 2560X1080.

I play on the single, larger window, no issues.

Windows 8.1

Primary: 1920x1200 (Asus VW266H, 25.5")
Secondary: 1920 x 1080 (LG 27MP55, 27")

Which monitor I use to play depends on what else I am doing at the time, but mostly I use the Primary one.

Windows 10

Primary: 2560x1080
Secondary: 1920x1080

I play on the primary. (except to watch the intro movie the first time because it doesn't display right at the resolution higher than 1920x1080. The right half of the video gets cut off).

I'm running multiple monitors.

The game runs on my primary monitor.

If I move my mouse to the second monitor, the map starts scrolling and doesn't stop.

[Vic]

Hi all,

Thanks for all the tech specs. It helps a lot to see if I can adress some rare glitches with these multiple monitor setups.

@axyl,
Whats your operating system (win7/8/10) ?

Best wishes,

Windows 7, 64 bit

2 x 1920x1200

I just play on a single (the slightly larger) monitor.

Sometimes I have the manual open in the other, but any shift to there collapses the game screen.

I'd like to try the interface on a second monitor, but don't know how.

When moving to the second monitor, I also have the game scroll automatically to the edge.

Thanks for the reports.
Expect a new (matrix only) public beta quite soon.
I hope to improve the secondary monitor performance and avoid the scrolling to edge on it as well.
Also adding an optional windowed mode that might help.

Will this fix also incorporate with the older DC versions?

First things first. But yes if anything is broken with older DC games i'd like to fix those as well. Just let me know the issue and the game (and version).

Best wishes,

My main pc have a primary 24" 1920x1200 and secondary 17" 1280x1024
My laptop 17" 1920x1080
1 keyboard on my main pc also for my laptop with Multiplicity.

My preferred way is the game (windowed) on the 24" screen and the help pdf on the secondary. (and the laptop is off)

But the current scrolled behaviour prevent this way of working. Now I must attach a reserve mouse to my laptop for the manual.

It is not a real bug but putting the mouse on the other screen is a very common action (not only for reading a manual).

Currently I have DC1 v152g

[MajorJoey_slith]

I am playing

eyefinity 5670x1080 works fine
3x 1920x1080 fullscreen SAMSUNG P2770FH
window Ultimate 7
I can try it at 10k if you like 9600x1800
Great idea about making toggle for fullscreen / windowed look forward to that
great game too having good time with it

[Vic]

@Joey
Impressive.

@Harry & others
Keep in mind multi-monitor support was never official but that I am now starting on improving things with the next patch.
I'll need your feedback here to get it right. (many possible configurations are possible).

Its appreciated

Best wishes,
Vic
