I find that the built in dual screen functionality causes a lot of crashes. I ended up crashing out of a lot of games while I used it. You can however get (almost) the same functionality by doing a couple things.

Install the DualScreen mod. Information here.
Use an autohotkey script to turn the game into windowed borderless across both monitors. Information here.

It's a UI mod, so no.

I'm having similar difficulties. On my Windows 10 machine, everything works fine with 1 monitor. Turning on the secondary adapter just leaves me with things defaulting to a single screen with low resolution. Definitely would love to hear if anybody has any bright ideas on whether there's some directx tweak or something I should be doing.

It happens more often with nvidia. my old computer had a gtx260 and it was also crashing very often. If you google the error message you find out that it is the connection between system and your grafic card it is broken. In registry you can increase the allowed delay time for this. It will decrease the number of crashes but not remove. The crashes happen only while zooming in or out to fast.
Now i have R9 270X and ati somehow feels like they do not crash so often. I use dual screen only for ladder not to annoy other people while crashing :D

Dual screen mod i could use but do not like i have a main screen 16:10 and exactly the same screen 16:9. This remaining border is annoying. Maybe i will try it again.

Hello all.

I am having exactly this issue. I have never tried running SupCom in Dualscreen mode before. However, I have wondered lately what it COULD possibly do to cure my tunnel vision when playing.

On Windows 10 with a GTX970, using any combination of graphic adapter settings for the secondary adapter, I just get a single screen with terrible resolution.

Has anyone successfully run a dualscreen setup under Windows10? If yes, what are your hardware specs and did you use any tweaks or tricks?
