Dual Monitor Scrolling

April 30, 2012 3:36:40 PM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums

Has anyone else noticed that with the new update, and a dual monitor setup, one cannot scroll by moving the mouse to the edge of the screen? Instead, the mouse simply moves over to the second monitor. I tried finding a "contain cursor" option, but it seemed to be non-existent.

yep, same here with dual monitors, the cursor is not contained at the edge of the game screen.

I noticed it too. I find it very annoying as I always am using dual monitors. Only fix for me is to set it just to my main playing screen.

It is good to play with dual monitors? you dont see the middle of the screen "teared apart" or something?

I think that they are playing with full screen on just one monitor while having a second monitor connected to their system. The only reason to have two monitors is to make some tasks easier, such as writing code on one screen and having a guide on the other (which does indeed help a lot!). It does get repetitive and tiresome having to disable your second monitor each time when you want to play Sins. I think that Trinity also suffers from the same problem, from my experiences.

I have three monitors (matching Samsung 26", 1920 x 1200 each) and stretch the playing window to include all of the middle monitor and half of each monitor on the left and right. I can see skype, IM, Magic jack, IE, Chrome lots of little gadgets, outlook, etc. 

Works Great. Lot's of reasons to have more than one monitor.

I've been having to use CursorLock myself to bind the cursor to the fullscreen Rebellion, its not a perfect fix but it works for now at least.

Get that and you needn't worry.  2 monitors and you get the edges right in the middle -sucks.

For me it works, when I "Alt+Tab" the game to minimize it and use "Alt+Tab" again to bring the game back to the foreground. Then my cursor is binded to Rebellion.
