Playing Silkroad On A Duel Monitor Set-Up...

[VivaLaJay]

Hey, Im quite new here and id GREATLY appreciate it if someone could help me out ..

Basically what i would like to do is play Silkroad on my one monitor but still be able to switch to the other monitor and do things such as browse the internet or play a video without Sro stopping and so that i can still control the game and it is still moving.

Ive tried everything i can think of and googled it so many times but still cant find an answer,Does anyone here in the forums use a DuelScreen setup and could you give me some advice please ?? Thankkss

You just plug into monitors and it's pretty much plug and play. You can go into your graphic's card panel and choose different options: extended mode, clone mode, etc. But it will pretty much work as soon as you plug in two monitors.

The only thing, make sure you set SRO to windowed mode, even if it's set to the same resolution as the monitor it's on so you can't tell - if it's on fullscreen you won't be able to drag your mouse to the other screen without alt tabbing.

Put the game in windowed mode [esc -> options -> set game -> scroll down in the second box -> windowed mode] and that way you can have the game up and have windows open on the other moniter.

No, he's capable of using two monitors and has probably figured out "Windowed Mode"... his problem is that when SRO isn't the active window, the graphics pause. The game is still running, but you can't tell what's happening. He wants to be able to still know what's going on in-game and do something else as well, like post on SRF.

I used to be able to do it, but SRO's framerate was really low, like 5-10 FPS... still you could read chats just fine and you knew what was happening. But a few months ago there was an update and I could no longer do this. SRO always stops updating the video when it's not active.

The way I used to do it was to alt-tab to a different window rather than click. Maybe it still works for some people... I know it no longer works for me.

Why? so you can bot and browse?

No, botters have a program for monitoring SRO while they do other things. He probably just wants to monitor his SRO chat or stall. Also, it's probably pretty useful for someone getting powerleveled in case we lure on them.

On topic:

I don't ever remember SRO being able to play in a window and have the video going, even at low frame rates. perhaps a TS session to Server 2008 or something like that might work, or as some people do, have a second computer or laptop next to them.

If I'm powerleveling someone, and you're AFK for over 5-10 minutes, and you die, or cause someone else to die...whoops. <soup nazi voice>No res for you.</soup nazi voice>
