SH4 Multimonitor support

Devil_dog1975 · 07-27-14, 09:12 PM

Hi all just picked up SH4 on steam. Games runs fine however when trying to access secondary monitor the main game window minimizes and pauses the game. Is there a way to get SH4 to continue while I use my second monitor for internet browsing etc....????/

Run it in windowed mode, instead of fullscreen.

I am, but it still minimizes the game.

Hrm...

Are you sure you're running windowed? Even if you check the box, you still need to set the screen resolution lower than your monitor's resolution. If it's the same or higher, it will run it in fullscreen mode and act the way you describe.

That solved it, thank you. I realized that no matter what resolution change I made , It did not actually make the change until I restarted the client.

Glad to hear you got it working. I'd forgotten about needing to restart.

Thanks again. I'm really enjoying this sim even though its older. Esp with voice commands activated. I am sad to learn that multiplayer is dead or non existant in its current state
