Dual Monitor

September 8th, 2017, 2:19 pm

Howdy,

So I'm using two monitors and I'm having a problem with it when I play SA:MP.

I can play SA:MP normally but everytime I click something on the second screen, my SA:MP alt-tabs automatically, basically goes AFK. I can play other games, such as PUBG, ARMA 3, CS:GO, etc etc and use the second monitor at the same time, but once I do it on SA:MP it alt-tabs everytime.
It does work when I play it screened, but doesn't fill the whole screen, which is irritating. I know others who play SA:MP on double screen and are able to use a second monitor at the same time (ex. search forums, youtube, etc..) but they haven't had this problem.

Can't find a solution on internet, so I thought I'd give it a try here.

Thanks!

Use Alt+enter to make it minimized to browse the web while the game's still running,

or use an enb modification to enable borderless windowed mode.

Code: Select all

[WINDOW]
ForceBorderless=true
ForceBorderlessFullscreen=true



Both are clunky to use though, OP is better off just getting used to it.

It's same as chocolate, there's a chocolate that you really like but if they change the taste of it will you buy it? I guess not. There are so many chocolate (servers) out ther

I use ENB and I enable window borderless mode with my dual screen setup. The game like freezes the screen and makes u AFK but u can still go back asap without having to open it from taskbar again. Instead you just click back on the frozen samp screen and ur back in.
