Dual Monitor Issue

Feb 20, 2008 Rylin link
I'm currently running (x2) 22in widescreen LCD's in twinview for Ubuntu and when I run VO, it automatically wants to run the span of both monitors. My issue is I can't make it so it only maximizes in one monitor. Or is there a way for me to launch the game in window mode?

Much appreciated

You can run it in windowed mode -- look in the video or graphics options, cannot remember which

You could hit alt-enter after startup to switch to winow mode or do it under options. Next time it should start that way automatically. Or edit .vendetta/config.ini in your home directory.

The game treats dual screens a bit weird. To get it to only show on one screen you'll probably have to define a meta mode that only spans one.

When i select window mode in the game, the resolution options are very limited to sizes that span both monitors. 3360x1024 or something of that sort. I did go in and edit the config.ini file. I set the "windowmode = 1" and set the resolution to 1024x768. Nothing seems to be working. Any ideas?

Also that link you pasted doesnt work Mr_Spuck ;)
