Switch monitors?

[rob]

I've noticed that whilst playing gta, I can't pause it or anything to switch to my second monitor. If I play something like CSGO I can pause or open chat and i'm able to switch to my second monitor without any problem. Does anyone know a way to fix this?

When you say switch monitor, do you mean simply gliding the mouse over to the secondary monitor?

Yeah. It doesn't allow me to do that..

Will bringing up the Steam Overlay free your mouse to move to the other screen?

Gotta use alt tab. it locks the mouse to the monitor so you while turning it don't go outside and click on other one. That and as always with multimonitor setups, use borderless windowed mode so it don't minimize the game every time.

What I did is map alt tab to a button on my mouse, so I can easily go out of the game, and since I play with controller i can still control the game even when alt tabbed out.

Yep I recommend using borderless windowed mode in that case then, if you dont want to do that then you just alt-tab, it wont minimize your game, just give you freedom to go to other monitor.
