Multiple monitor setup

Saturnax · 09-15-17, 05:20 AM

Hi everyone, greetings from Slovakia. I'm new to this forum, but not new to sub sims. I've been playing DW since 2006 and there's one thing I was always wondering if it would be possible to do: if playing, for an example, 688 and having 2 monitor setup, can you somehow assign different stations to the monitors e.g. sonar station on one monitor & tactical map on the other? Any ideas how to do this?
Thank you.

It could probably only be done with two separate network clients connecting to a multi-player server.

You can run game with -wences parameter.
It allows you run 2 (or more) DW on one computer just like in MP (for example multistation mode where "player one" have sonar and "player two" all rest)

Unfortunately sound in "wences" mode is broken (loop)

Thanks for replies. I thought there may be some easy way to split the screens or a graphic mod/tweak allowing that. I'll try that 'wences' parameter though & see what it does. Cheers everyone.
