Dual Screens + Gaming..

[lolage]

When playing a fps in 1 of the screens will it go into the other screen?

Thanks, Ben.

You can choose!

Obviously if you stretch it across both the crosshair will be on the divide and that will look strange and not really be playable.

The best thing to do (and what it sounds like you're asking if you can do) is set it to run on one screen maximised, while continuing tasks on your other screen.

But say as your using your gun playing. If you put the mouse too far on the right wont it go into your other programs. I want to stay in the one screen.

Ah right. The game takes the focus of the mouse completely.

And what happens if i die and i want to use other screen for internet or something while im waiting?

Can this work?

I think you just ALT+TAB like normal and it takes the mouse focus to the other screen.

I've never used dual screens myself, just going off what I've heard

Oh cool, can anyone verify this?

You have to alt-tab out the game back to the desktop to change things on the other screen. Just like having 1 monitor.

If software engineers had sense they would've written an fancy key combo whereby if you press a key you could keep your game on one screen maximised and use the other screen fully.

Alas, you need to ctrl+esc/alt+tab/win+d. Stupid if you ask me.

It's annoying that the game minimises in the main monitor when you are trying to use the internet in the other monitor!

damn diddnt realise it worked like that, oh well.

I could watch a movie in one without having to minimise game so all good..
