Freelancer Dual Monitor - ivr56 - 10-08-2008
Hello Guys
Is it possible to run Freelancer in dual monitor. Example, have one showing Freelancer and one showing Desktop or other instead of both just FL.
Thanks in Advance

I know that Nvidia will not display 2d and 3d together. I am not sure what card you use.

you can get the second monitor to display the desktop easily,
i do it all the time.

Well.. his question was probably 'How' do you actually make it work.

My guess would be to window it, then pull it onto one screen...

The issue is that the mouse gets either locked in or out of the game. You could display content I think but if you tired to click out the game would minimize. Some systems with mess up the resolution of the second monitor too but I am pretty sure this is just a problem with spanning

I'm running it dual screen. The only major problem is that the mouse doesn't get locked into the window. Eg: if you're dogfighting and aren't careful, you'll click on something that's not the game and you'll be on desktop and dead in space. I've gotten good at avoiding that though. All you have to do is set it to run in a window at a resolution of your choice. Mine is 800x600 on my left screen.

Whenever I tried it would change the res of both screens, making it impossible to use the other screen.
Yes, "How" do we do this?

I think mine changes the res separately... or did at one point. I haven't used dual monitors much though. There is freeware out there that can set what's on top or not, so you could set freelancer to always be on top on one screen.
