We're investigating some prevent window deactivation issues for a future release, I'll add your topic to the list, it's a tricky thing to get 100% compatible with all games. Thanks! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/window-focus-problems-sound-stopping-mouse-snapping-back/?ID=a9a1bc5c-3c66-4ced-a903-fbfe8d0b5c5e Mon, 09 Jul 2018 19:01:17 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/window-focus-problems-sound-stopping-mouse-snapping-back/?ID=a9a1bc5c-3c66-4ced-a903-fbfe8d0b5c5e DisplayFusion Hey there,

so.. I've recently purchased DisplayFusion and I've been trying to play games on my 3rd monitor while working on my 1st and 2nd. I've run into 3 problems. All of these were a non-issue with a competitor program..

First is the audio not playing anymore when a window loses focus. I've used the keyboard shortcut to make windows ignore that they lose focus, which didn't stop the audio, but then, when I actually clicked somewhere outside of the window, it stopped playing the audio. I know that this is a windows function, and not directly related to DF, but is there a way to stop this from happening with DF?

Second is the mouse snapping back to the center of the game window on my 3rd monitor each time a button is pressed on my XBOX controller. I've read that you can lock your mouse to a particular monitor before starting the game, but that would lock me out from my 2nd monitor as well.. is there a more elegant way to solve this? (said competitor program did not do this, when I used that program's "ignore focus" command, it allowed free mouse movement between all monitors, while ignoring mouse/keyboard input when a window on monitor 1 or 2)

A third problem that happens with, for example, Doom (2016) is that the window would simply not accept the "ignore focus loss" command. Didn't hear the confirmation sound, the window's top bar didn't change to "focus lost" color.. just.. nothing.

Can you help, please?

##Edit: Also, I haven't put in those parts about the competitor program to shit on DF, but just to explain that this was working before, and I believe that DF can pull it off too. I actually think it's very nice how the developers take the time to reply to the help threads on here. Really shines a good light on the whole organization. ]]>
