Requested enhancement: Playing sins on secondary monitor

September 10, 2008 10:47:10 PM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums

I run sins on my laptop with a external montior hooked up. Unfortunatly windows will not let me set the external montior as the primary in dual monitor mode. It would be extremely helpful if sins had the option to relocate to a different monitor.

Have you tried running Sins windowed and dragging it over to the second monitor? If Windows doesn't let you switch primary monitors (which is strange by itself, but admittedly I've never tried with a laptop), I'm not sure what Sins can do.

I would like to see a feature like how Supreme Commander does it: have an overall map on the secondary screen that you can zoom in and direct forces around and attacks just as you do on the primary... but all the main controls are on the primary screen.

This is great if you are playing a bigger game like 2v2v2 or 3v3 where you may have 2-3 battles going on in different star systems.
