FAF got problems with dual monitors?

[Sereiya]

Hello there,

I just tried to use both of my screens and got stuck in the lobby screen. When joining or hosting a game my second screen is turning grey and I've a small lobby-sized grey window on the first. Clicking in it, it goes fullscreen in an extremely buggy way (see attachment). The yellow space is fullscreen on screen 1. Originally I always used the lobby windowed and didn't change that setting.

System:
Win7 x64
Nvidia GTX 780, Forceware 382.33
Current official client
Screen 1: 1920x1200
Screen 2: 1920x1080 (cloned on 2 screens, one of them is actually 1366x768. Forced FHD via nvidia settings)

Is there a known bug causing things like this using 2 screens?

Thanks in advance.

Greetings,
Serry

When I was using dual monitors on Windows 10 after the anniversary update it worked fine in Steam FA but had the same issue as you in FAF.

I assume some people here play FAF on Windows 7 with dual monitors so hopefully they can help you out.

There are mods that help with dual screen.
Search in the mod vault for either "dual screen" or "UI party" both mods help with setting up dual screen.

Those mods don't change anything. For UI Party (v13) it just says "missing dependency" (seems to be the most recent version), and DualScreen v6 just... well.... I guess this is meant to be used with 21:9 screens or Eyefinity/Vision Surround (attachment), but not with two separate monitors.

Doesn't those mods also load after the game already started? It isn't an ingame problem, it works perfectly running the game via C:\ProgramData\FAForever\bin\ForgedAlliance.exe. It's a problem with the custom lobby integrated by FAF, which seems to mess with Supcoms integrated dualscreen solution.

edit:
Oh dear, the solution was so obvious... it seems like this problem only occurs if you previously had "windowed mode" active for the lobby. After unchecking this the lobby and game loads like a charm. I even mentioned that option in the first post. It's like searching your car keys when you already put them in your pocket... *facepalm*

I highly recommend this option to be automatically deactivated or ignored by the game if the secondary adapter option is anything else than "disabled".
