[Bug] Multiple Monitors » Forum Post by Jernau11

I'll admit that I kinda like it that way (I mostly use click-drag to scroll). I can see why it'd be annoying, but it feels wrong not to be able to mouse over to my other desktop.

Yeah, ok. It can be useful but 'lock mouse to screen' option is standard for today games and should be included.

I like it that way.

I'd prefer to have the option to not scroll over to my other screen. Or let me use WASD to move.

I love being able to scroll my mouse in my second screen.

To all the people who like being able to scroll across monitors, do you have some way to keep the operating system from automatically minimizing the game when you scroll across and click on another monitor? Because without something like that all it does is save you an Alt Tab key press.

Well, actually on windows 7 it doesn't minimize when I click on another monitor screen. It just brings up taskbar underneath game on my main screen.

That being said, I see no point in people posting here that they like it the way it is here. It's an OPTION that is being asked for. If you don't like it, don't use it in game. Understand that others may like, for example, to scroll map by moving to the edge of the window and they can't do that ATM when they have multiple monitors. Why would they be forced to play the way YOU like?

Windows 7, FTW! I keep my taskbar on my second screen, btw.

Positive feedback is just as important as negative feedback. Without those of us saying it's useful, the devs might decide to reverse the behavior, rather than make an option. So that would please the OP, but would annoy those of us who like it the way it is.

More to the point, however, the OP doesn't say squat about making an option. The OP explicitly says that allowing the mouse to move to the 2nd monitor is a bug.

For the record locking the mouse in as an optional setting would completely have my blessing. I'm used to panning around with my mouse and having it go off kilter in half the directions is disturbing. I don't like grabbing the screen but I'm getting used to the arrow keys.

I think the reason its minimizing on me might actually be a problem with WinShell and not Windows itself then. I'm running Windows 8 but hate the damn start screen.
