New Setting: Monitor 1/2

Postby stianf » Sun Jul 14, 2013 11:22 am

Hello again.

I've got 2 monitors, and one of them is the laptop and the other is a external screen. Prison architect is tiny on the laptop, so I want to be able to choose what monitor beeing used. I've tried messing around with changing screen while ingame etc. etc. but it just doesn't work. This is working on small, small games (even free games) so why not on prison architect? :P

why don't you make your extended screen the main screen in your video preferences and then start the game?
it's not a permafix, but it'll let you play on the bigger monitor.

Not to hijack, but I wish additional functionality should be added when playing on multiple screens, such as independent camera (so you can look at two separate places in the prison at the same time.)

Because this game is still being developed. Bells and whistles happen later.

Just wondering: did I say that I HAD to get it? I mean that it would be a good addition in beta, maybe release. You're a pretty badass potato sometimes, son of a sardine.

The only way is if i ONLY use the external screen, but that just completely removes the meaning of 2 screens.

By saying that other games have it so why not this one you're implying that it has to have it.

That's not what he said, he said that it doesn't have that option because the game is still being developed....not sure if it can get much clearer.
