New patch unplayable on multiple monitor setup

[nyc67]

I have a 3 monitor setup, laptop screen and then 2 QHD monitors configured above on left and right. I always have played AOE 2 DE in the upper left monitor in Full Screen (Monitor 2).

After applying the patch, the cursor no longer stays in Monitor 2. It clicks back into Monitor 1 (the laptop screen). It's basically unusable as it won't maintain the cursor there.

So frustrating, it's worked fine for years. Please fix ASAP.

Some more details, it happens when trying to play in Full Screen mode or even windowed when maximized on Monitor 2 or Monitor 3. The curson locks onto Monitor 1 instead of Monitor 2 where the game is displayed.

Same for me, unplayable.

I was able to make it usable on Monitor 2 by having it be in Windowed mode (but not full screen). But to do that, i had to:
- remove my 2nd/3rd monitors
- start the game with just my laptop screen
- put it into Windowed mode
- re-attach my 2nd/3rd monitors
- move and resize the Window on Monitor 2 (but not maximize it or reize it to the edge)

Obviously that's a PITA if I have to do it everytime it starts.

Clamp Mouse To Window Bugged

I have dual screen setup - Clamp Mouse To Window is bugged so that the mouse will always click OUT of the game screen whenever you click on either full screen / windowed / full desktop.

Current solution to keep clamped mouse working is to make a custom sized windowed screen, otherwise I am unable use dual monitor setup at all

It looks like me and the OP have the same issue - the bug comes from "Clamp mouse to window". The devs must have accidentally done something to the code, because when you tap out and back in, the mouse will ALWAYS click out of the window (doing the exact opposite of clamping to window). Wouldn't be an issue, but with multi-monitor setup, even swapping to full screen or full desktop you now run into the issue of the mouse running off screen.

There is any update on this? Should be set on high priority in run work due affecting many users
