multi-monitor support

[firefly212]

I'm not so much asking for support of multiple monitors as I am for better detection... when I extend my desktop (windows 7) to both monitors, WZ comes up with really odd numbers for resolution and the mouse clicking ends up desync'd with the game... it's easily correctable (use only monitor 1)... but it would be nice to be able to still have music and whatnot going on in the other screen.

Lacking some information there. What version did you test, and what graphics card do you have (and drivers)? That makes a lot of difference...

Version 20110320 (branch 151f88) of the alpha, on a GeForce 9600 GT running nvidia driver version 8.17.11.9621 ... that said, the effects were the same on each of my friends computers too different configs, but in all cases with both monitors enabled, the mouse location and the grid location selected did not line up... I just figured it was a feature nobody had thought of, not so much a bug.

I use multi monitor all the time with no problems if that helps any. Of course I use xp

in win 7, it seems to be trying to take the width of the two monitors combined by the height of monitor 1 (w1+w2 x h1)... not too sure why it's trying that, and the workaround is simple enough.

on a whim I tried running it in xp compatibility mode with both monitors, and it works great... what an odd bird.
