[Beta3A]Dual Momitors doesn't allow scrolling

July 12, 2010 4:21:10 PM from Elemental ForumsElemental Forums

Im not sure how to say this but I have a dual monitor setup for my 3D and photoshop work. While playing the beta (3A) i will try to scroll to the right and my cursor jumps to the other screen. Usually games lock it into full screen but Elemtnal doesnt seem to do this. I wouldn't be an issue if i was playing in windowed mode, but full screen shouldn't allow this without an Alt-Tab.

Also i see lines in the background image that scrolls while on the main menu. Im not sure if its my resultion or grapics cards.

There's an option in the settings to trap the cursor to the game window, so you can edge scroll with multiple monitors.

That's nice to know. I've always just disabled the second monitor before playing. Should that setting be on as a default?

Can't you scroll with the left mouse button too? Thats what i've been doing with my dual monitor setup when I need to scroll to the right.

Good to know! This has long plaged me in many games. 

I agree it should probably be on by default... 

 

Is there any reason someone wouldn't want this on?

I'm sorry what setting is it? Is it that "clip cursor in windowed" or something? 

That is the only one I saw that looked like it, and it didn't work... 

 

I accidentally clicked outside of the window on my other monitor, and when I tried to go back to the now minimized game, it crashed.

OK sorry let me update again, yes now it does work when go to the edge of the screen. It didn't give a message to restart the game for that to be enabled, but looks like that is all it took. 

So I guess add a message that you have to restart before it takes effect. 

 

 

EDIT 

 

And yes, I do have to say it crashed again when I alt-tabbed to type this message. 

 

I think it said, DX error: Invalid call
