I've been having a few issues with a dual monitor setup.

 

I first tried playing in full screen mode. This was pretty bad. I couldn't control which monitor the game was shown on and the other monitor was disabled completely. When I closed the game, all of my other open windows were all on the same monitor and I had to put each one back the way I'd had it before.

 

Then I played in windowed mode and made it fullscreen in the windowed menu. This is better: I can choose which monitor to play on and my other windows stay where I put them.

However, the video settings are changed for the other monitor. Is there some way to make the video settings only affect the game window? I have some stuff open on the other screen and the colors are all messed up until I close the game.

Also, there is no way to release the mouse from the game while a mission is loading. When I am in the menu, I can press the ~ key. This opens the console (which I don't care about) and releases the mouse. When a mission is loading, this does not work. Is there some way to release the pointer while a mission is loading?

 

I am using the GeForce 1060 graphics card with nvidia driver version 390.42

      Does anyone actually use the Normalise button in the Surface inspector? Even after looking at the code I'm not quite sure what it's for.

      Turns out my 15th anniversary mission idea has already been done once or twice before! I've been beaten to the punch once again, but I suppose that's to be expected when there's over 170 FMs out there, eh? I'm not complaining though, I love learning new tricks and taking inspiration from past FMs. Best of luck on your own fan missions!

      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported. Damn!
      Makes me think that TDM engine for Doom 3 itself would actually be perfect.

      Maybe a bit of advice ? In the FM series I'm preparing, the two main characters have the given names Toby and Agnes (it's the protagonist and deuteragonist, respectively), I've been toying with the idea of giving them family names as well, since many of the FM series have named protagonists who have surnames. Toby's from a family who were usually farriers, though he eventually wound up working as a cobbler (this serves as a daylight "front" for his night time thieving). Would it make sense if the man's popularly accepted family name was Farrier ? It's an existing, though less common English surname, and it directly refers to the profession practiced by his relatives. Your suggestions ?

      Looks like the "Reverse April Fools" releases were too well hidden. Darkfate still hasn't acknowledge all the new releases. Did you play any of the new April Fools missions?
