A Solution possible to the multiple monitor problem?

[Smoke fish]

the problem for me was DUPLICATING displays. I just had to EXTEND the displays to make it work.

[Xenos]

That would explain why I never had the multiple monitor problem myself.

Extend is the master race anyways. Why would you want the same thing on two monitors?

Because my PC Desk is next to my TV and with that I can play my games on the big screen whilst sitting on my couch or I can play them on the desk using my normal monitors. And I will not change that setup just because a Game Developer screwed up some settings in the engine. The other RE Engine games run just fine, so this should not be that hard. If they want 60 Bucks for it, it should be fixed.

Changing a quick windows setting from duplicate to extend is too much effort for you?

Thats besides the point. Why SHOULD I change Win Settings for ONE single game, just to be able to play it, if the Developer could just fix the issue?
They expect 60 bucks, I expect a functioning game. A band aid Fix is fine for the demo right now, but nothing more.

That really sounds like a "you" problem tbh. Why would you switch randomly between a smaller screen and a larger one if both are right there?

Probably because most sane people run extend, not duplicate because the entire point of having multiple monitors is increased screen real estate.

Awesome Gatekeeping guys. Telling someone, that its their fault for not being an elite fanboy like you. Really helps the game moving forward and getting better, so more people can enjoy it.

[Seamus]

Saying to fix your wonky windows settings isn't gatekeeping.

It kind of is. What difference does it make to you how he likes his windows? And besides that, he has a point: this isn't an issue with most games, so why is it an issue here?

Likely a development oversight, honestly.

Never expect intelligence online.

I'm a wildlife worker and I've had people smugly try to tell me "lol I bet you didn't know TEETH can be used to GRAB THINGS "

How else do you think animals with no hands interact with stuff? Seriously. Its like a first grader trying to act tough in front of an adult.

I'm not worried about it. Internet randos will come out of the woodwork like cockroaches to try and downplay other internet randos lol

As for the topic, I personally use extended screens. I do art and a bit of programming, and both use cases are made easier with two screens showing different things. But that's just my reason for having my setup the way I do; I have one friend who uses his screen the exact same way Schnubbi does, and another friend who plays fighting games and tries to emulate Japanese arcades with his setup (opposite facing screens both showing the same local match), and duplicate is really the only way for their use.

I understand (and generally agree with) the idea that extended screen is better for most. But that isn't an excuse for how the game doesn't function the way it should in duplicate mode. It's actually easier for the system to output in duplicate mode, since it isn't actually rendering extra space but is instead rendering only once and simply outputting twice.

I'm glad we came to a conclusion here instead of acting like 10 year olds arguing on a discussion fourm about arbitrary things. Guess I will continue looking.
