Rift - dual monitor

Post by Multicharacter » Mon May 23, 2011 4:31 pm

If I set Rift to start on Display2 under game configuration it starts on Display 1 still. If I try to manually drag the window title bar over to the other monitor the window starts randomly moving all over the screen and then vanishes when the majority of it is over the other monitor. I've tried 'force windowed' so far, as well as multiple in game modes of how to do the window. (eg full screen, full screen windowed, windowed)

Is there a command I could try to move a window to another monitor once a session is already running?

Why was it again that you don't want to use ISBoxer? That is its only job, to help configure IS for this sort of thing. ;)

The WindowCharacteristics command covers everything you need for that

Code: Select all

WindowCharacteristics -pos -viewable 0,0

I did try it, and configured it to display Rift on display 2. The game window would completely vanish though. That's when I tried just opening Rift itself and dragging it over to display 2 only to find out the window can't be dragged. (it goes crazy when you try to start moving the window)

EQ2 works fine, and can be dragged to any monitor/resized/etc, but the Rift window just vanishes if I try to have it on any monitor other than #1.
