Dual Monitor Support

[Darth Cerritus]

Any ability to have your cockpit/flight view on one monitor and your map/radar on a second monitor?

No, you can't drag drop ingame radars inventory etc sections to different monitors.
I was playing on 3x monitor but gui has many problems (for example: some main story missions has full screen mission info, it doesn't appear in your game if it too stretched)
I bought ultrawide monitor and game works fine on 2560x1080 resolution.

I wasn't using 5760x1080 so i don't have old screenshots to show examples other than 3456x768 but just for showing the difference here they are:

3456x768 map: http://prntscr.com/lq3fr9
3456x768 shipyard/modify: http://prntscr.com/lq3gd1
2560x1080 map: http://prntscr.com/lr8bun
2560x1080 shipyard/modify: http://prntscr.com/lr8ewo

You will be fine with 2x monitor but 3x has a lot of issues.

Thanks - not a showstopper, just want to get my desktop ready for when i purchase/download in a few weeks.

I had to go back to 1920x1080 because of UI and other issues playing at 5760x1080.
Although this game can be played on multiple monitors, it just does not scale well, outside of native - 1 screen resolutions.

I have also read many other threads, where many people could not play in SLI/X-fire modes.

oh man that would bring this game to another level I got dual monitors but never even thought they could be both used in a game!

[Mr.Person]

would be really nice if you could use two monitors supreme commander style and have the main cockpit viewing area on one monitor and the pause/maps/info screen on the other. I keep opening the M menu so often it would save a lot of flip flopping screens

[deltaagent26]

Or 4 screen support... 1x3 + 1...
I play in Surround portrait mode (3240x1920) ... would love to have a separate screen for map.. and other menu / non-cockpit views.

Yes please allow us to create separate windows and move them around the screen to our liking. I don't think this is doable from a coding standpoint in the game though, right?

Watch out people, before you can tell, the steam crew spits up a VR-X4 in your library

Yes, that's exactly what I would like to do as well. Wouldn't that be great?

Having the map up all the time would slow down the game tremendously. With a fully explored game universe and a bunch of satellites placed down, you can expect your frame rate to drop to less that 50% of your average whenever you open the map. Now imagine having the map open all the time.

Give it a Second Programm? We need only a second map with infos. anyone knows? its 2025. C4 should be handle Dual Monitor :-) my wishes for most games since 20 years...

There is a mod that ties into an external program. It doesn't provide a live map but it does have a bunch of useful things.

Thanks for the info. What is the name of this Program? I would try it on the MOD PC.
