Dual Monitor Support

I would love to see dual support added to CoX similar to the RTS game World In Conflict. With the main screen shown on the primary monitor and the city/zone map on the secondary monitor.

Can't you do this anyways? I know I've seen someone playing with 3 monitors, so you could move your map to one monitor and resize it as you wish.

I've looked all through the options and "Googled" it too. If there is a way to do this it eludes me. Bear in mind, I am not referring to splitting a single desktop across multiple monitors, that is a function of the video driver. I am referring to the game being able to send specific information, like the city/zone map, to the secondary monitor. As far as I understand it, this would need to be supported in the game client.

I think you are right and yes it would be cool if we could move in-game windows to an second monitor.

What Fleeting is referring to is someone using this Matrox gadget to expend his desktop and in-game view in 3 monitors.

There are usually two sides to every argument but no end.

Everything placed above this line is always IMHO, YMMV and quite certainly not to be taken too seriously....
