I still bought DF 'cause it does a lot of what I wanted, but that'd be a great addition. It'd be over the top great for many gamers I know.

Again, ty Keith. Have a great day!! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/play-game-on-one-monitor-surf-netemail-etc-on-other/?ID=d273d9de-3d06-411d-ab8d-8f85a0e3081d#16 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 19:15:46 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/play-game-on-one-monitor-surf-netemail-etc-on-other/?ID=d273d9de-3d06-411d-ab8d-8f85a0e3081d#16 DisplayFusion It hasn't been fully resolved yet, but we'll definitely post an update here when it is sorted out

Thanks! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/play-game-on-one-monitor-surf-netemail-etc-on-other/?ID=d273d9de-3d06-411d-ab8d-8f85a0e3081d#15 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 12:31:54 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/play-game-on-one-monitor-surf-netemail-etc-on-other/?ID=d273d9de-3d06-411d-ab8d-8f85a0e3081d#15 DisplayFusion Was this problem ever resolved entirely? Sorry to necro a thread but saw it and it's relevant to my reason for trying display fusion.

A LOT of cool features with this program (DF), but I need this one to work seamlessly and at the moment not so much for me. Prolly user error, noob to DF and all.

I'm seriously interested in buying the program, but this needs to work... for me to work (lol).

System:
Windows 7 Home
EVGA 780ti Classified
16Gb Vengeance (1866Mhz) Ram
I7 2600K (4.4GHz)
Two HP 25' monitors
Games: Tomb Raider, Crysis3, AC4 Black Flag, (AAA games).

Thanks guys. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/play-game-on-one-monitor-surf-netemail-etc-on-other/?ID=d273d9de-3d06-411d-ab8d-8f85a0e3081d#14 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 20:31:45 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/play-game-on-one-monitor-surf-netemail-etc-on-other/?ID=d273d9de-3d06-411d-ab8d-8f85a0e3081d#14 DisplayFusion Ok great! Thanks for testing those out. I'll keep you posted on what we find out. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/play-game-on-one-monitor-surf-netemail-etc-on-other/?ID=d273d9de-3d06-411d-ab8d-8f85a0e3081d#13 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 20:13:06 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/play-game-on-one-monitor-surf-netemail-etc-on-other/?ID=d273d9de-3d06-411d-ab8d-8f85a0e3081d#13 DisplayFusion Team Fortress 2 worked from the pause screen, all the others I had no luck in. It does seem to be doing something as if I press while focused on a normal window like a web browser, it locks to always on top.

TF2 allows you to mouse off the game in the pause screen at any time, but if you click off, it would normally minimize. After pressing the key combination, it does not minimize if I click on another window.

It seems to work for keeping focus, but it is not releasing the mouse from the active game window. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/play-game-on-one-monitor-surf-netemail-etc-on-other/?ID=d273d9de-3d06-411d-ab8d-8f85a0e3081d#12 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 20:04:24 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/play-game-on-one-monitor-surf-netemail-etc-on-other/?ID=d273d9de-3d06-411d-ab8d-8f85a0e3081d#12 DisplayFusion I know this doesn't help in the functionality of DF, but wanted to let the OP know what I do for this situation.

Most recent games have a setting for Fullscreen Windowed Mode. This will allow you to go back and forth between monitors. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/play-game-on-one-monitor-surf-netemail-etc-on-other/?ID=d273d9de-3d06-411d-ab8d-8f85a0e3081d#11 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 19:52:52 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/play-game-on-one-monitor-surf-netemail-etc-on-other/?ID=d273d9de-3d06-411d-ab8d-8f85a0e3081d#11 DisplayFusion Yeah it should just work when you enter the game and press the key combo. However, I've just tested Saints Row 3 and it's definitely not working there. We're going to do some more investigating to see what we can find out.

Thanks! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/play-game-on-one-monitor-surf-netemail-etc-on-other/?ID=d273d9de-3d06-411d-ab8d-8f85a0e3081d#10 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 19:44:07 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/play-game-on-one-monitor-surf-netemail-etc-on-other/?ID=d273d9de-3d06-411d-ab8d-8f85a0e3081d#10 DisplayFusion Testing a few for you right now,

Splinter Cell: Conviction

some Source Engine games:
Team Fortress 2
Portal 2

Saints Row: The Third

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Assassin's Creed: Revelations

So I'm going to go into game play, press the key combination and try to move the mouse to my other monitor. If that doesn't work I will hold the key combination and try again. If still no luck, I will pause the game and try both again. I will let you know in a few moments ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/play-game-on-one-monitor-surf-netemail-etc-on-other/?ID=d273d9de-3d06-411d-ab8d-8f85a0e3081d#9 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 19:37:20 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/play-game-on-one-monitor-surf-netemail-etc-on-other/?ID=d273d9de-3d06-411d-ab8d-8f85a0e3081d#9 DisplayFusion Ok, just wanted to make sure. Could you list a few of the games that you tried? I'd like to test them out here. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/play-game-on-one-monitor-surf-netemail-etc-on-other/?ID=d273d9de-3d06-411d-ab8d-8f85a0e3081d#8 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 19:35:47 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/play-game-on-one-monitor-surf-netemail-etc-on-other/?ID=d273d9de-3d06-411d-ab8d-8f85a0e3081d#8 DisplayFusion I moved "Move Window to Next Monitor and Size Proportionally" to Ctrl + Alt + Right so Ctrl + Win + Z is not double bound. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/play-game-on-one-monitor-surf-netemail-etc-on-other/?ID=d273d9de-3d06-411d-ab8d-8f85a0e3081d#7 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 19:00:57 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/play-game-on-one-monitor-surf-netemail-etc-on-other/?ID=d273d9de-3d06-411d-ab8d-8f85a0e3081d#7 DisplayFusion Ctrl + Win + Z is actually one of the built-in key combinations (for the "Move Window to Next Monitor and Size Proportionally" Function). It shouldn't let you assign the same combo to two different Functions, but could you double-check the DisplayFusion Functions tab to make sure that Ctrl + Win + Z is only assigned to one Function? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/play-game-on-one-monitor-surf-netemail-etc-on-other/?ID=d273d9de-3d06-411d-ab8d-8f85a0e3081d#6 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 07:30:02 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/play-game-on-one-monitor-surf-netemail-etc-on-other/?ID=d273d9de-3d06-411d-ab8d-8f85a0e3081d#6 DisplayFusion Tried to do as described, did not seem to work for me, set command to Ctrl + Win + Z
Played several games, tried to click on 2nd monitor, it minimized every game still. Cool feature though! Can't wait to see it in action. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/play-game-on-one-monitor-surf-netemail-etc-on-other/?ID=d273d9de-3d06-411d-ab8d-8f85a0e3081d#5 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 20:41:28 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/play-game-on-one-monitor-surf-netemail-etc-on-other/?ID=d273d9de-3d06-411d-ab8d-8f85a0e3081d#5 DisplayFusion Just wanted to follow-up and let you know that this feature is now available in the latest DisplayFusion Beta version (http://www.displayfusion.com/Download/Beta/).

There's now a built-in Function called "Prevent Window Deactivation." Just assign a key combination to it, and then run that key combo once you're in the game, and the game should stay active, even when working with windows on another monitor.

I'll be sure to post an update when we have one.

However, if the game has a "Windowed Mode" option in the video settings, you should be able to maximize the game window and still be able to move the mouse outside of the game window.

Hope that helps! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/play-game-on-one-monitor-surf-netemail-etc-on-other/?ID=d273d9de-3d06-411d-ab8d-8f85a0e3081d Mon, 19 Dec 2011 12:51:19 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/play-game-on-one-monitor-surf-netemail-etc-on-other/?ID=d273d9de-3d06-411d-ab8d-8f85a0e3081d DisplayFusion is this possible with display fusion, thx ]]>
