windows 10, amd vga, dual monitor = crash, please help

Postby csoller » 03 Jun 2015, 10:24

Hi, had to reinstall win, so i thought i try win 10.
All good so far, 1 issue: fa crashes with 2 monitors. With 1 it works fine.

Please help to track the issue down.

I copied the crash report, tell me what files i have to provide to find the problem.

Thanks in advance,

I don't have a fix for you but I do have a workaround.

You can use [https://github.com/Codeusa/Borderless-Gaming/releases
And make a rule so that it stretches over both your screens. I also needed to have the hide taskbar option selected.

With that you may also want to use the UI Party mod viewtopic.php?f=41&t=9776&start=10
To make the dual screen experience better

The reason I use this is that I have never gotten FA to work with dual screens it always crashes at some point...

Hi Androish, i made dualscreen work, your borderless stuff is epic, however i cant set it up. I need some advice.

I have 2x 1920x1200. If i manually set up pixel dimensions (0,0,3840,1200) then the cursor gets a +30 px y offset which renders the game unusable.

If i let the thing do its job then it maximizes the screen so it jumps back to the first screen. Purpose defeated.

If i disable all then it hides the border but the window is offset by about 50 px, and i cant move it back since i have no border...

Have any idea?

I have no clue I am afraid. I did not run into that problem... Only thing I might do differently is that I have selected the "No Taskbar" But that was to fix another problem.
