DR with multi-monitor bugged

[momokobo]

When you run DR using a multi monitor setup (2 in my case, with different resolution, expanding the desktop) the client starts to lag/freeze after a couple few minutes.
The ping itself is not affected so I think the framerate drops a lot - also because when you just move the screen or mouse you notice small freezes.
Maybe the client render engine is allocating too much of the screen. Happens with both window mode and fullscreen (on one monitor).

Using ATI 7950 card.
Resolution on main screen is 1920x1080, second one was a little bit smaller (16xx x ... something) but I turned it off at the moment.

It's the way DR is programmed and we can't fix this unless we were to switch to other rendering techniques, which basically means recoding the entire game.

The only thing that 'works' for dual monitors without it falling into 'memory leak' status is running it fullscreen for me =/

[momokobo]

Aww okay, and it's not like the ATI fullscreen bug where you said the same but eventually got it fixed?
In fullscreen it only worked for a little while for me. Maybe I can find another workaround.

Most GM's have been using more than one screen for years and it annoys the heck out of most of us, so if it were a doable fix, it'd be there

I have been able to fix this for specific versions of gdi32.dll for another game with smilar issue.
So will attempt the same for DR in near future.

Nice to hear,but I feel like fixing mulitple screen issues should be a low priority considering there might not be anyoneto use this fix...

Admin here works on multiple projects, hence he finds solutions like this in other games every now and then

That's a somewhat infuriating respsonse, Spherix.

Ipwn has drawn your attention the ailing player-base and I agree that any GM effort really should be concentrated in that direction. Have you any comment on that matter? I don't expect an answer but I would add my name to those requesting new life is breathed into the game, especially for high levels players. I don't include myself in that category of player (yet), but it would be nice to see them in-game.

I've responded in the 'most relevant' topic on that subject, I am open to discussion or suggestion there or in a new topic; not in this one
