View Full Version : Dual Monitors (SH3 and SH3C)

I run twin 22" WS monitors. I actually have 2 questions here.

1) When I load SH3C, it always spawns right along the split of the 2 screens, really annoying. Any way of making it pick a side?

2) And is there any way to get SH3 to load into a windowed (not fullscreen) mode? That way i can do long patrols and browse the net without having to pause the game.

2) According to this thread on the Ubisoft site (but also my own eyes :up:) you can choose for Fullscreen in Options/Graphics.

1) I sometimes have luck when I place the shortcut there. But not allways. Also, I don't like my shortcuts all over the place so I don't. I don't really see the need either. SH3 Commander only works before or after playing the game. Not while.

I have a pair of 24" monitors. I'd like to run the map on one and, the rest on the other.

Hope you get alot of answers Gargamel. :salute:

Muahhaaaa.... surprised i dint see that when i played with the graphix options the first time i played it. Thanks! And it works.... but is there now any way to change the size? It's stuck on a relatively small 1024x768?

SH3Cmdr will always start "across" both monitors. It's literally a 1 second fix for me, however, it's not worth another release just for this one thing.

I did consider a "Complete Super Duper Double Deluxe Cesium Commander's Special Ultimate Angus Edition with Cheese" release, but a distinct lack of interest after I raised it in the SH3Cmdr thread cooled me of the idea very quickly.

Yeah, I cant argue with that lol.

It's not a big problem really, especially when I turn off the tips screen, it'll just be a single drag and drop.
