I am trying to play the game on two monitors in full screen 1920 1080 .One screen for my main and one for my alt.But every time i move my cursor over to the other screen and click on a icon it minimises my main screen ,

It works fine in window mode are fixed mode but i want to play in 1920 1080 full screen on both screens. I have searched the forum and online and cant find any fix for this , is there any way to stop it auto minimising the other screen ?
You have your way. I have my way. As for the right way, the correct way, and the only way, it does not exist

If you have the resolution set right the fixed windowed is full 1080 if your screen handles it. That's the reason for fixed windowed, to allow multiple clients or other programs to run at the same time without the annoying minimize that full screen does when you leave it

Thanks for the information i never realised that .Its the first time i have run two monitors with a game , i think i have it working fine now .I have two GPU running and also forgot about the option to assign a GPU to each char via the in game option that seems to have resolved it .

I am having one of my blond days today, if i fell in a barrel of boobs i would come out sucking my thumb

Also it is quite handy to have two clients (just copy your current client into a separate folder in the ccp games folder, then make a separate shortcut on the desktop or wherever). Makes it handy for running multiple characters.

This is because by using two clients you can have each of them save their respective location and settings. This way you don't have to keep resetting which client you want in each window.

I did the same then copied my cache into the other clients cache so literally no settings were lost, and all of my windows and other stuff were where they were supposed to be (granted you will have to do a one time sorting out of which screen the client is supposed to be on as it will default to your main clients monitor the first time).

I once podded myself by blowing a huge fart.

Having multiple copies of the client is, indeed, useful.

But you don't need it to be an actual copy.

Having one of the be a junction of the other means you only need to patch once. Sure, you need to delay the start up of the second client, until the launcher is closed, but that's not a big deal really.

It saves disc space, and bandwidth for patches.

Woo! CSM XI!
