anywhere there. If you don't find it, post again then i tell you the exactly way when i'm at home.

You can also open the file and look after the settings.

Okay. I've tried resetting the Game.prefs.

I've tried making the setting changes by adding the secondary adapter and seeing how the Game.pref's changes, but I'm still having no luck.

With primary adapter set to my native resolution, and secondary adapter disabled, it works fine.

Primary adapter AND secondary adapter set to native resolution only runs on the primary adapter and sets the resolution to the default 1024x768 and shows nothing on the secondary adapter.

Actually, what happens is if I've got the Primary Adapter set to any resolution, it works fine.

As soon as I set the Second Adapter to the same resolution (or any other), not only does the second adapter not even display, but the First adapter goes into a super low resolution.

Obviously supcom doesn't support a 3rd monitor, so running it on 2/3 monitors would be great still. But, I can only run it on one.

I'll try deleting game prefs. Wait, what's the directory?

Okay. Three things.

First, this worked before. It was working a while ago.

Second, I'm on an Nvidia card.

Thirdly, I don't have SLI.

Thats bit tricky, FA doesnt like that setup for some reason, well on ATI anyways.

The best solution is to play in windowed mode and drag the screen over 2 windows and press the end key, or home, one of those keys anyways that splits the screen in 1/2.

The drawback of doing this on ATI gear is that crossfire doesnt work in windowed mode but I will be honest, after playing with a dual monitor setup for a long time, single is much better for RTS, you will miss too much if you are zoomed in on micro because you wont look at your other screen showing macro.

Can't use Second Adapter...?

2012-09-29T05:28:09+02:00

Okay. I'm on a tri monitor system, and under windows, my monitors are numbered like this: 3 1 2

1 in the middle, 2 on the right.

So, FA with first and second adapter should show on the middle and right monitor. However, whenever I turn on the second adapter in the FA settings, and restart FA, it starts up ONLY on the middle monitor (like the second one was never activated), as well as being in a really low resolution.

What do?
