Using 2 monitors for coop

[T0R [LNX]]

Hi, i just tried to run the game windowed and use a witdth of 3960x1080. Since i cudnt choose this in the optiones i tried to modify Options.json in /home/xxx/.config/unity3d/Beam Team Games/Stranded Deep/Data.
But this gets overwritten at every start. Ideas anyone ;)
PS Enjoying the linux version

You could try running the Stranded_Deep executable with the following command line args:
-screen-height
-screen-width

...which should start the game up in that res. If you apply options it might override, but worth a shot.

See more info here:

looks good so far. Using the args -screen-height 1080 -screen-width 3960 -full-screen OFF

Having a small problems now with configuring the input for player2. Gonna try later. Thx for the quick and great response

All problems solved. When using -screen-height 1080 -screen-width 3960 -full-screen OFF as a start parameter in steam even the controls were fine. Thx for this great game

If you have an NVidia card, you can use PhysX (from NVidia Control Panel, 3D Settings, Configure Surround). It works perfectly.

Launch options to change screen size

I have been playing the game in coop and it is a blast. I have 2 screens and I would like to display the game in in both of them, so that each of us can use one screen. I have a laptop with an nvidia card, good enough to run the game on max, but the screen is drawn through the integrated card (intel) so using surround is not an option.

I have tried to change the launch options of the game in steam and via a direct access to strandeddeep.exe, so that the game starts at a resolution that covers both screens when using an "expanded" desktop on windows. However, modifiying the launch options seem to have no effect either way. Specifically, I am using:

-disableresolution -force-d3d11 -screen-fullscreen 0 -popupwindow -screen-width 3840 -screen-height 1080

Has anyone tried this before? Is it even possible?

Merged you with a topic covering exactly that. :)

Thank you! It worked now, I had 2 mistakes:

- First, it is -screen-fullscreen OFF, not 0, as I had it.

- Second, in my case it does not work via steam's launch options, because it runs Stranded_Deep_64.exe, which has a lauch screen that overrides the commands. However, it worked after using the commands over a direct access to Stranded_Deep.exe (the other exe file within the game's folder).

Is there a way to prevent Stranded_Deep_64.exe from showing the launch screen?

EDIT: I stand corrected, it seems to work even from steam, no matter wether the launcher is shown or not. I am using this options:
-screen-height 1080 -screen-width 3960 -full-screen OFF -force-d3d11 -window-mode borderless

Will LAN & TCP/IP multiplayer ever happen for this game? Feels like its abit late in the day for it now.
