Murphyd Posted December 27, 2008 Posted December 27, 2008 When I configure BS to display SHKVAL and Abris on my second monitor, I can no longer bring up the Controls Display Window (RCTRL-ENTER). My guess is that it's being displayed somewhere on the "invisible" first display. Does anyone know how to fix this? -- Murphy
Murphyd Posted December 29, 2008 Author Posted December 29, 2008 Is nobody else suffering from this or similar problems? Other issues multi-screen seem to cause include the FPS readout not appearing and mission text messages being spread across both screens making them rather difficult to read. Knowing how configurable the rest of BS is, I'm optimistic that some lua file jiggery-pokery will solve these display issues, I just need some pointers to get me started :) -- Murphy
Mxyzpylk Posted December 30, 2008 Posted December 30, 2008 Why not post in the original thread. It is still active. Those problems are inherent to this set up. I have them and I'm sure others running it in Vista have them also. Hopefully someday a workaround will appear. One workaround for the framerate counter is to use FRAPS. http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=32630
Murphyd Posted December 30, 2008 Author Posted December 30, 2008 I did consider that Mx but thought it better to not clutter a solution thread with problems. In addition, I was hoping that a separate thread might stand a better chance of eliciting a response from the devs or testers. -- Murphy

Murphyd Posted December 31, 2008 Author Posted December 31, 2008 Hehe. Indeed you may be right :) I'd like to know if ED regarded the trade-offs as bugs or a feature that we'll be forced to live with. Doesn't feel like it would be too hard to change. -- Murphy
Gael Posted December 31, 2008 Posted December 31, 2008 Your Controls Display Window is probably hidden out of the limits of your screens. If you try arcade mode you can see the arcade radar and "hud" stretched to the virtual resolution, the one you set at options.lua: you probably cannot see what happens on the lower left corner of that big window.
Murphyd Posted December 31, 2008 Author Posted December 31, 2008 You're right Gael. I used a third party app to move the BS window last night and as predicted, the controls window was tucked away at the bottom left hand corner of the "virtual" window. -- Murphy
