Dual Monitors SH3 on #1

danurve · 12-29-08, 08:37 PM

Trying to run the game on monitor #1 (crt) and surf or whatever on monitor #2 (lcd page view). The problem is when I click into the 2nd monitor the game minimizes to the task bar. Does anyone know of a way to keep the game running maximized with duals?
Thanx.

I don't think it will work, unless the game supports two monitors. At least not in full screen mode. Maybe it would work in windowed mode, if SH3 can be run that way.

But I never actually tried this and may be wrong. If I have to do something on PC while the game is running, I use the laptop.

Here is one website dealing with multiple monitors, perhaps you'll find something usefull there...

Ok it works if you uncheck fullscreen in video options. Except you loose sound. It would be nice to stay in full screen and just 'steal' the mouse.

I went off on adding switches and arguments at the end of the target line, because it has worked in the past for another game.
So I figgured, well nevermind.

Vodka may have been involved.
