Dual Monitors Bug?

[phong]

Not sure if this is a bug, but when I'm playing in a non-maximized window, if I have altitude on my secondary monitor, the game will freeze after about 5 sec of flying once I've connected to a server, then disconnect me. During the freeze my mouse doesn't function either, but I can alt/tab to make altitude disconnect faster. If I drag the window back over to my primary it runs fine, but as soon as I drag it back to the secondary it crashes once I start flying again.

Attached system info. Meant to put this in support but no way to delete thread.

Video of the error, seems it wouldn't unfreeze till it alt/tabbed off altitude.

I have the same problem. But is this case of 2 monitors? Or any problems with net?

Bump again..

Same issue using my laptop (IBM T410) with an external monitor and windows dual display for extended desktop.

Soon as I drag altitude (in windowed mode), to the extended desktop, altitude freezes after a few seconds. Any ideas on this lamster?

Seen this in a few places:

Another app that had similar issues:

Looks like adding -Dsun.java2d.d3d=false might fix it though not sure where to add it with altitude.

Parameter in shortcut?

Yeah, I have this same problem with my dual monitors.

Makes it hard for me code and test at the same time since my boss can see my main screen :(

Have you tried the test build? http://nimblygames.com/test/altitude.exe

Otherwise, depending on what you're testing, you can edit ~Altitude/config/options.xml and set overrideResolution="200,150" (small enough that it's easy to hide / hard to tell what it is from a distance).

You could also try changing which monitor is identified as primary/secondary on your video setup.

Whats the difference between this test build and the current build?

No issue when using the test build, thanks :)

it uses the latest LWJGL build which causes timing issues on my computer hence why we never pushed it out.
