How did the devs miss this?

August 23, 2010 6:26:40 PM from Elemental ForumsElemental Forums

I run dual monitors 1920x1080 and 1680x1050.  The large monitor is my main screen.  When I load up this game and try to scroll the edge of the map.  The game cursor just goes right off my 1920x1080 display onto my 1680x1050 monitor and doesn't scroll map edge.  Many people run dual monitors these days.  How did the devs miss this and will there be a patch to fix it?

Many nerds run dual monitors, not many people.

There's an option "Clip Cursor in Fullscreen" that will fix this.  We all run duel monitor in the office, so it was one of the first options we hooked up

There's a thread about this which apparently you missed, there's an option to enable it...

I was just happy that they seem to be supporting my triple monitor setup

To the poster about nerds using dual monitors

Lol, take a look at any modern office, and home setups. And you will see many computer users run dual monitors.  Also every modern video card has dual monitor jacks, jack-ass.  I suppose you are one of those folks who still uses a CRT monitor, while the rest of us have moved on to LCD screens.

Also, you completely missed the point of the post.  The point is that they failed to catch the glitch.

Totally agree I've never run two monitors and have no desire to actually. lol

As reply two says there is an option in Elemental for this.

I do believe that if you read Reply #2, you'll find yourself mistaken.

ah I see the option entitled "Clip Cursor in Full Screen".  Kind of cryptic.  Also my question is, why would this need to be an option.  I expect that when I run an application in full screen, my mouse would not just wander onto the other monitor.  So with the option turned off, it allows for the fun benefit of being able to scroll the map in every direction except the direction where the cursor decides to go onto the second monitor.  Why would someone want this as an option?

Well, as someone who prefers that option, I like to be able to go and do stuff on my other monitor, and I don't like edge scrolling in particular anyway.

Because its a stupid option.  Why not make some more options like "run game in color" or "run game with mouse" "run game with keyboard"  I mean really, it should be given that you are gonna use the mouse and likely a keyboard.  The same should be with not having the cursor scroll off the screen in one direction.

Not everyone likes edge scroll or having to alt-tab to switch to the other monitor.
