Multi screen

Post by rox271 »

Hi, when playing OpenTTD, I often have a number of popup windows opened to monitor activity.
This is covering a fair amount of the playing area and having 2 screens, it would make sense for me to push those pop-ups on to the other screen.
I did some search and was a bit surprised this had never been resquested; or is it a feature I missed?
Cheers

Just set the game to windowed mode. Then you can stretch the window to use two or more screens.

Interesting mitigation but the two screens not being the same size... it looks a bit weird.
Definitely a "native" solution would be a must.

there used to be a bit of talk about multiple window support, but nothing was ever implemented.

another workaround would be to play "multiplayer", so you join your game multiple times and can put each client on a different screen. however, a side effect of that is that everything is calculated multiple times as well, so CPU usage will go up.
