Galciv + Dual Monitor Glitch

March 18, 2006 1:58:56 PM from GalCiv II ForumsGalCiv II Forums
When running galciv on my dual monitor setup (ati radeon 9600, 1xcrt monitor(primary), 1 xlcd monitor(secondary)),galciv doesnt seem to take sole control of the mouse, so if you move the mouse to the edge of the screen it allows the mouse to jump to the second monitor, and i manually have to drag the mouse cursor back to galciv. This is rather annoying because every time i need to scroll to the edge of the screen galciv loses focus of the mouse.

Does anyone know of a way of fixing this ?

Thanks in advance

Hmmm.... I run a multimon system and I have not had an issues or glitch for that matter regarding the mouse. I use extended desktop and I have a Quadro 3000 for a Vcard.

My only peeve with using a multimon system is the centered windows in game. I want to be able to move them to the left or right. Are you drivers updated?

I noticed the same issue. My workaround was to disable the second monitor in the windows desktop/screen properties before playing. I tend to do this anyway since ugly colored representations of my wallpaper tend to show up on my second monitor no mater what game I play.
