ruprecht Posted January 24, 2009 Posted January 24, 2009 Hi, I have set up multimonitors according to the guides on the forum and everything works fine, including the single player menu, which appears on my main display. However the multiplayer menu is stretched across the entire virtual display (including the "phantom monitor"), resulting in my inability to host, refresh, join or browse multiplayer sessions due to inability to view or mouse to the bottom left or bottom right of the menus where the buttons are. I believe this is a bug as the single player menu works fine. Unless there is a config setting to force the multiplayer menu to the main display only, can this please be patched? Essentially if I want to play multiplayer, I can only use one screen which sucks ass as I've built an ABRIS button panel specially for my cockpit. My config is in the vista section here: http://vaaf.net/wiki2/index.php5?title=Black_Shark_MultiMonitors More pics here: http://pitblog.radsy.com Cheers DCS Wishlist: | Navy F-14 | Navy F/A-18 | AH-6 | Navy A-6 | Official Navy A-4 | Carrier Ops | Dynamic Campaign | Marine AH-1 | Streaming DCS sometimes:
geogob Posted January 24, 2009 Posted January 24, 2009 Yes, this is "normal" behavior for the multiplayer GUI and is well know, The multiplayer and single player GUI are two distinct applications. This is known and I hope it's going to be addressed in an upcoming patch soon™. Search the forum before posting bugs (especially ones as obvious as this), you'll see that all this has been reported before ;)
ruprecht Posted January 24, 2009 Author Posted January 24, 2009 Thanks for the reply. I posted here to specifically report it as a bug. I'm aware that it's been raised many times at the bottom of twenty-page threads in the general discussion forum, but that is not the same thing. If it has been reported specifically before as a bug in the bug reporting forum, then I apologise for the repost and will work further on my search-fu.

ruprecht Posted January 24, 2009 Author Posted January 24, 2009 I partially mitigated it by dropping my main screen resolution to 1280x768, the same vertical res as my secondary screen. At least now I can join MP missions, even if I don't know what the server's called because all that is off the left hand side of the screen! I would say this is definitely a bug, I can't see why it couldn't work the same as the single player menu. Any indication from DCS if this is a fix commit for the next patch?
