Dual screen issues since Win10

Postby Gaderath » 04 Aug 2015, 19:57

I hope someone can help with this one:

Prior to win10 update running 660GTX dual head mode with 2x 22" displays side by side, in FA options primary & secondary adaptors set to "1680x1050 @ 60Htz" game ran dual screen no issues at all (do not mock my lack of 1080 monitors please ) - running on Win8.1

ran the update to 10, no other changes to config made - now what we start FA or through FAF dual display does not work. I get either:

[*]Main monitor @ 1024x768 and 2nd screen does nothing
[*]Main Monitor @ 1680x1050 and 2nd screen goes to stand by.

Have tried compatability modes from XP -> 7 then 8
Have tried to run both FAF and FA as admin, but no joy

Does anyone have any advise as to how I can restore Dualscreen functionality without just rolling back to 8.1?

Just run in windowed mode and drag over two screens then go split screen. You can use my mod to reposition the windows a bit better and tatsu has a script that gets rid of the window title (I don't use that).

Windowed mode is more stable and just works. Dual screen crashes sometimes

Windowed mode is nice because you can easily tab around ... eg: watch funny cat videos while waiting in the lobby.

Or revert.
Or seek other video card drivers.
