    I've just started playing KAG after noticing it didn't have any major problems with dual screens anymore. :)
    But I still have some problems.
    I have a dual screen setup. 1 1680×1050 monitor and a 1900×1080 TV at the other side of my room.
    My problems:
    1) I play KAG full screen, and when I click at the right side of my screen, where my second monitor virtually is, the game alt-tabs and becomes a 1024×768 window at the upper left side of my first screen. When I click in there it goes full-screen again. (see screenshot below)

    2) When I alt-tab, all my other windows go to my 2nd screen, that's quite annoying since my 2nd screen is usually turned off. (check screenshot below)

    Am I the only one with these problems? Am I able to fix them myself?

    PS. Don't mind my wallpaper and Dutch language.

    KAG wasn't made for dual monitors.

    Ye, that's why I try to play it on one. I could actually play it on 2 screens with a HUGE stretch... But I would really like to play on one monitor without alt-tab'ing.

    Nothing is 'made for dual monitors'
    However, most things should fullscreen on your primary monitor.

    I dual monitor too but I always play in windowed mode because of this problem.
    Not a big deal though - I prefer windowed mode anyway as I usually do other things at the same time.

    All my windows still go to my other screen when I play windowed (when they're minimised). And I will still go to the other windows when I click next to the KAG window (when they're not minimised)
    Can't you just enable some 'always on top when not minimised' function?

    edit:
    When I take a print screen when it's totally full screen, it's not actually 'print-screen'ing' what I see, I see a full screen KAG (with the other window at the other screen) but the print screen is this: [​IMG]
    not full screen but actually just the size when I alt-tab. 1024*768

    That's weird. I always thought, print screen just made a screenshot of what you saw. Seems KAG bugs that...

    ps. what's up with that snapshot sound when you alt-F4

    tl;dr just play window mode. I got duel screens and never had a problem (though my mouse sometimes spas out this is rare and not sure if related to 2 screens)

    Are you saying your mouse usually doesn't go out of the windowed mode? Since it does that all the time for me..

    Oh yeah so it does. I don't notice it though because I just keep the cursor close to my characters body. I suppose if I was an archer it might become an issue
