A sudden dual monitor issue, please help!

[StinkFist]

Today I started having a really frustrating problem;

I have been having a few crashes per day lately, so I figured i would press that repair game button. The repair ran to 100% and said everything is fine, no downloads, nothing. after this I started the game and started playing. BUT;

While playing the game (in full-screen) on my dual-monitor set-up, the cursor will move outside the game into my second screen. If i look to the right with the mouse and fire, the game gets minimized because i`m not clicking in my game-screen anymore, my cursor is on my other screen witch I have to the right of my gaming screen. It`s like the cursor will not lock on to the application, like I`m playing in windowed mode.
I have played the game since alpha, and this has never happened before. it does not happen in other games.

I have tried: Rebooting, uninstalled all mods, I have tried going to both windowed modes and back to full screen. I have checked my windows display settings, but i cant see anything wrong.

This is super frustrating. Can someone please help me out with this?

Sounds like it could be a driver issue if you've tried full screen and rebooting and it didn't fix it. I'd do a clean re-install of your gpu driver.

It's normal behavior for windowed or full screen window, but shouldn't happen on full screen. Means mouse lock/capture isn't working properly. There appears to be other various work arounds as well if you google it. "Capture mouse to a single screen" search.

Workaround shouldn't really be needed. I've seen it happen with other games, just not this one.

Maybe make sure Nvidia Surround or AMD (whatever they call it) isn't enabled. That creates one large desktop across multiple monitors. It's necessary if you want the game spread across 3 screens for example, but doesn't work well with two since the bezels are in your direct center of view.

Uninstalling and reinstalling GPU driver did not work :/ Nvidia surround spanning is off, checked it before I started this thread. never had this problem before, incredible annoying

Well you have two solutions more I can think of. One, turn off the other monitor via Nvidia control panel while you play, and you can also try contacting support. They'll maybe have advice and be able to look at the game's log.

I would recommend seeing if a new GPU driver like a BETA is available, had some issues with clients and Sound Devices today since the last Windows Updates!!

Probably not related at all but just something I thought about reading this!

ive seen audio drivers cause crashes and alot buggy things. yeah sounds odd but true. windows update may have messed with drivers.

Sometimes the nvidia game ready drivers get buggy , I've switched to the studio drivers for the last 2 updates and they seem to do ok for me.
