I have the physical disc version of Mass Effect two and am having trouble playing with a dual monitor setup.  When I move my cursor far enough to the left of the screen, it leaves the game and continues on to my second monitor.  Leaving the cursor on the second monitor or clicking anywhere while it's there minimizes the game.  This makes is incredibly hard to learn left and is pretty much ruining the game for me.  I have tried changing resolutions and messing with the multi-display settings in the nvidia control panel but so far nothing has helped.  This happens all the time as well, not just at a specific point during gameplay.

[/list]Here are my system specs just in case:

CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 c0
GFX Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX260
OS: Windows 7 64-bit
Direct X 10

Please post if any of you are experiencing this problem or know of a fix.  Thanks in advance.

I just played through the intro (just about to meet with the Illusive Man) and haven't noticed this problem with my dual monitor setup. Are you playing in windowed mode? I'm playing full screen mode.

How did you get a Windows 7 with DirectX 10, when Windows 7 comes with DirectX 11?

Depending on where you ask in the system, 7 will report 10 AND 11.  DxDiag will correctly report 11- most other diagnostic tools (including the NVIDIA Control Panel) will say 10 for some reason.

To OP's issue, as posted before, ensure you have Full Screen turned on. I'm using two screens on win-7 32-bit under nvidia, and I haven't had this issue (though I know what you're talking about- Spore STILL does this).

I do have it in full screen mode and I've tried switching between windowed and it still doesn't work. Also, the Mass Effect config utility reports Direct X 10 :3

bump, though I've got different system specs
Vista 64 bit(current updates), DX10
ATI Radeon XFX 4850
Intel Core2 Quad 2.66ghz
running ME2 in fullscreen mode.

I run two Acer monitors I picked up a couple days ago, both using DVI inputs(no converters), and only disabling my second screen(by unchecking the "extend my desktop onto this monitor) keeps Mass Effect 2 from auto-minimizing. Even when I don't move the mouse at all. IE: I was watching the intro-video and wasn't even touching my mouse(centered it on screen first) and it minimized a few seconds into the video.

It's not a huge problem, it's just annoying as I'll be playing the game a lot and don't want my new monitor to go to waste.

bump



Updating drivers doesn't seem to help. There is no cursor lag at all and it transitions over to my second monitor rather smoothly. I am already using a .BAT file to start the game with processor affinity to 1 core to fix stuttering issues, does anyone know of a command to maybe tell it which monitor to run on that I could include in the .BAT file? I tried to google something like this but no luck.

I play in windowed mode (no borders) and have no issues with it minimizing when I go to my second monitor. If you're playing in full screen then it should minimize when you click outside the game.

True, but the cursor shouldn't leave the game in the first place though? ...right?

[bprrccllo]

Web Rider, what programs do you have running in the background? Anything like outlook or something? I turned on my computer today and I was able to paly with the cursor leaving the first monitor. I didn't change anything so I don't exactly know how it fixed itself. I am hoping it doesn't go back now that it's working properly

[Vorketh]

The cursor shouldn't leave my good design, but this isn't the first game to do that on a full screen setting, making us multi-monitor users frustrated. The existence of a borderless windowed mode completely mitigates the issue unless your system is not up to the task of multitasking the game and your other apps. Blame the devs though... they could have coded a boundary for the mouse if they wanted... but there is no need for that in console games.. bear in mind that this is a port.

yeah, i've had this problem. Shame that happens, but i'm going to disable second monitor.

I have dual monitors (24 inch main at 1920x1200 and 22 inch secondary at 1680x1050). I play on full screen setting and my cursor doesn't leave the main monitor when I'm playing. It's got to be another issue.

[low8all]

I have three monitors and don't have this issue. A few ideas off the top of my head...



Is anyone using any tcp/ip km like Synergy or InputDirector? Disable it.



If you're using dual monitor profile by Nvidia or ATI, disable it and use the Windows display screen to set up your dual monitors.



When you launch the game, click within the game to put it in focus before moving the mouse around.

[BroxigarDK]

I have a 1280x1024 and a 1440x900 monitor, both at 19" and I have only experienced your problem once! That was when Skype decided to make a little notification in the bottom right corner, that someone had logged on. I accidently clicked that notification, due to my mouse being somewhere in that corner, during a firefight.



Try to disable any background programs and see if the problem persist.

If the problem goes away, start one background program at a time, and see which one makes your mouse escape the fullscreen.

Good for you, but that is happening to me. After a while my mouse pointer shows up on the second monitor.

When I'm lucky it happens while I'm out exploring and I see the pointer show up before I click. When that happens I can just hit escape and that pulls the mouse back into the game. It happens once or twice an hour on average.


It's definitely a problem with the mouse suddenly showing up on the secondary monitor because the pointer will show up there with no warning.

I'll try running in borderless windowed mode. That's a good idea.

I'm not saying this issue isn't happening. The point of my post is that it's not caused just because you have dual monitors. It was an attempt to get people to look for a deeper issue rather than chasing a chimera.

[Laeelin]

Ahh,

My apologies.

I'm wondering if it's something you only see at lower resolutions. I'm running an older video card right now so I'm stuck at 1280x800. I also keep my mouse speed set high. A combination of the two might be required (or it might have nothing to do with either)

What makes it really hard to track down is that it doesn't always happen. I cant replicate it consistently.

already = always. For some reason edit isn't working.

[Malygris]

I'm having the same issue with a dual monitor setup, the primary on which I run the game at 1440x900 and the second, which I'm usually chatting on, at 1280x1024. The game will randomly but with some frequency just minimize when I click the mouse; sometimes when I'm just wandering around or initiating a conversation, but other times in combat. That's when it gets really frustrating.



Is there still no fix for this aside from disabling the secondary monitor?

[bprrccllo]

For a while I thought it could have been something running in the background like outlook or anything because for a while it started working fine again and my cursor wouldn't leave the game. Now it randomly works and doesn't work and I can't seem to pin point any particular programs in the background cause it. Also, I am running mine at 1920x1200

lols cause he has a GTX  260 which is a DX 10 card. You cant run DX 11 with out running a DX 11 capable card like a RadonHD  5000 series or the new GTX 400's series.

[DaewaNya]

I don't have this issue with my dual monitor but you might try this.
Change the position of your second monitor. Right click on your desktop then click screen resolution. Now click on your second monitor and pull it down so you can't access this screen with keeping it activated.

I found how I fixed it. Of course this is 12 months later....

I changed the resolution of the game (fullscreen) to match the exact resolution of my monitor it was on. This stopped my cursor from going off screen.

Hope this helps any future players.

Cheers
