mouse capture problem with dual screen
Each time I alt-tab my game, my mouse goes over the other screen and it is no more captured in the game. I run it in fullscreen. Any solution ?

Seems like it's working as intended. Maybe run in windowed?

No prob here with triple mon.
You cant go back in game or your cursor become invisible ?

No solution, there's no dual screen support on beta.
Play on windowed mode to caputre the mouse.

I dont loose focus neither but I see the cursor moving over the second screen. Plus I loose FPS as if the game was running in windowed mode. Thanks for replies.

I get this mouse drift on my second screen as well and it hasn't been a major problem until recently. Now depending on the situation in game and the buttons I'm clicking on the mouse the game will minimize and/or something else may open up, like another window or application that wasn't previously running, or a menu as if right clicking on the deksop, etc. It's like the mouse is still interacting with items on the desktop as well as the game. It's bareable in SP, but it sucks in MP. :(

I am going to necro this post because I am constantly having this problem and dieing in game from it. I don't know how many times I go to zoom in and i am minimized to see The Great A'tuin staring back at me from my desktop background. This problem is in all Arma engines, Arma 2, Arma 3 amd Dayz SA. I am going to try and see what happens when I set my second monitor so that I move my mouse up to go to it, not left or right to see if it helps the issue. Do these guys even know what dual monitors are? Do they even know how to code a seemingly simple thing into their games? This makes me so mad. :maaad:

10 years later I have the same problem. Anyone else still having this issue, look up a program called WindowedBorderlessGaming. It's a small executable that adds the "full screen windowed" mode to other games. It has an option to lock the mouse to the game window. Set your game to windowed or borderless.

Also, download exe's from the internet at your own peril.
