[BUG/MISC ISSUE] Clicking offscreen in dual-screen mode

from Demigod Forums

Hi, Glad to be testing and just wanted to report a little something I don't think anyone else has posted.

I keep my computer on Dual-Screen mode at all times, this enables me to use my desktop as normal then just turn on my TV when i wanna watch videos and drag them to my second screen which i use solely for high-def vid watching off my PC.

Anyways, in game, its as if the second screen is still there, and if I'm playing the game and my mouse happens to scroll off the side of the game screen onto the other one by accident and i click, it minimizes the game and brings me into windows. This is not a huge issue but during PvP can be a real game-killer because the game does not pause when minimized. I make this error often because I am so used to side scrolling in RTS type games and DotA. I really hope you include the mouse side scroll in the final build.

Anyways, if it's possible to block the mouse from going to the second screen to avoid this, that would be great. Don't know how many people actually use dual screen on their comps but it's annoying to have to disable the second screen whenever I wanna play a game, which is something i have to do when playing sins of a solar empire too. (maybe you can fix that too :blush: ??)

You can use arrow keys to scroll.

ObjectDock - Access shortcuts and frequently used applications from an animated dock.

Edit: You should not be able to move your mouse off the first screen if Demigod is not windowed and it's running in fullscreen mode.

yup,, i know when i play dota in W3 my mouse will not even scroll onto the second screen. Blizzard got it right 5 yrs ago! or how old is W3?!

and deadMG, arrow keys to scroll are kind of useless when u have one hand on the left side of the board and one hand on the mouse.
