S. Low Posted June 19, 2021 Posted June 19, 2021 This isn't a huge deal, just a bit of an irritation. I have two monitors. One for gaming and the other is for info or youtube or whatever. Before 2.7 if I paused DCS to go to my second monitor to do something then DCS would stay up. But now every time I click on my second monitor, DCS automatically minimizes. I don't know why this happens. Any ideas?

Lange_666 Posted June 20, 2021 Posted June 20, 2021 (edited) That's not a solution but circumventing the introduced problem because you can't run full screen anymore and you could in pre 2.7.

grafspee Posted June 20, 2021 Posted June 20, 2021 (edited) Fullscreen act like that, when you click off grid it will drop to task bar, borderless window mode allow to run game in background while being full screen. How you can't run full screen, set full screen an you have full screen mode. Check like bilion other games, if you set full screen and click mouse on other monitor it will drop game to task bar. I have multi monitor setup, i uncheck full screen mode DCS runs in window borderless mode for me, 2.7 brought fix for me that if i clicked on the second monitor while game was loading, i get black screen with DCS logo and game stopped to respond.

Lange_666 Posted June 20, 2021 Posted June 20, 2021 I never got a black screen in DCS when clicking on the second monitor. My experience is a bit different, just tested a few... X-Plane 11: stays in full screen when clicking on 2nd monitor, no minimizing. IL-2: not possible to move cursor to 2nd monitor when in full screen mode, so does not minimize. Elite Dangerous: not possible to move cursor to 2nd monitor when in full screen mode, so does not minimize. Civ VI: screen goes black for a second when clicking on 2nd monitor, then resumes, same happens when you click in the game screen again. GTA V: not possible to move cursor to 2nd monitor when in full screen mode, so does not minimize. Live For Speed: not possible to move cursor to 2nd monitor when in full screen mode, so does not minimize. MSFS 2020: stays in full screen when clicking on 2nd monitor, no minimizing.
