Originally by: Prestidigitator It would be coolness personified to be able to have the main viewer, the map, and the market on different screens. Or maybe the normal main viewer, and a extreme zoom-out tactical view on another.
I will add another voice in asking for this. As I happily just acquired a lovely 15" TFT that my work were going to sling out and that now sits beside my main display I was looking forward to see what I could do with Eve and my two screens.
Answer is not much. Have to window Eve instead of full screen it so I can use the forums or a spreadsheet on the secondary screen. I am paranoid about using some of the third party apps mentioned in this thread to try and get around the problem.
But to have as quoted above, the full screen displaying on the main monitor and then be able to use the maps, markets and other out of game apps in the secondary screen would be truely awesome.
I know CCP have bigger fish to fry but this thread is only going to get longer as more peolpe aquire an old second screen to use with the dual video output they have just bought with their new PC.
Pleaseeee CCP.....

i've been using eve-launcher and haven't found any issues with it really. just boot my client, press the maximize shortcut and i'm all set and ready to go at the same resolution i was playing before my dual screen config.
don't know why your paranoid about using these tools, care to explain?
about the seperate 'windows' for market etc: that would require a total rewrite of the client because the way it's setup.. seriously thinking i don't see that happening for the few (if 20% of the players have dual-screen i'd be amazed) that have these setups -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I also would like to add my vote for dual monitor support. This nonsense of minimizing when I click outside of the game in full screen mode is driving me up the wall. Also can anyone tell me how to get video to run on my secondary monitor while I'm in full screen mode on the first please. My movies lose the picture when i go back to full screen mode in eve.

no problem with my dual monitor setup, iplay both accounts in windowed mode and just drag one to the secondary monitor. or i play with one account on one of the monitor and watch a movie on the other screen (mining made fun ! ). Am using a laptop so that's the laptop screen and a flatscreen hooked onto it. windows XP and if i'm not mistaken an ATI radeon card in it. oh and dual core to make it go smooth :)

I don't know if it will work but what I do when this occures is launching the video soft after eve is working.
Good luck.
And if some of the CCP black ops are reading this : I agree too to what seems to be a general dream : it would be real great to allow an option for multiscreens as it's a technology which is more and more affordable. This would for sure give a great boost (if it needs one) to the Trinity graphics...
Thanx
Fly safe !

CCP, please add a mode to support multiple GPUs across multiple monitors (ie: NVIDIA's dual-view mode). Or, please give us a feature to offset the middle of the screen (ie: ship, camera focus, and HUD) for those willing to play with a monitor spanning mode.

Edited by: RaTTuS on 14/12/2007 12:34:55 Warning - I've not read all the posts in this thread, however to use eve on dual monitor systems run it windowed [also if yoou are running it on both screens you may see a performance drop on the other screen - pop up the options and change the display to the other one listed - it may be the same but change it anyway]
with nvidia systems you can use the 'Manage Custom resolutions' option in the nvidia control panel - just set a resolution you want and when you boot eve next it will be available in the list.
I personal use the userprofile method of launching eve - so I have a batch file for each character - this means I can have different setting for each one - market alt - quite wide and high - no sounds - etc - - corp managment - very wide etc ...
I also have a 1920x900 resolution for some stuff [looks tasty] - and if I rotate the monitor I get a 1200x1920 mode ;-P with is more useful than that image shows.
another thing to try is Synergy this will allow you to use 1 keyboard | mouse to control 2 machines [still run in windowed though
edit Oh yes - I'd like it to be able to move bits off screen - that would be dead handy ;_p..
the resason why you get a minimised eve if you have dual monitors and it running at full screen is not a ccp problem - it is how windows handles the displays - full screen d3d has to minimize when it looses focus. - - so run it windoed -- BIG Lottery, BIG Deal, InEve [Now Verified] & Recruiting

Windowed mode is not a feasible solution for many gamers because it will disable the use of AA for NVIDIA cards.
I currently use nHancer to get 16x AA with HDR for EVE. Sometimes I use 8x on the weekends to keep up framerates as more ships are around. I just starting running the client with both screens in NVIDIA's horizontal-span mode (2560x1024) for two 1280x1024 screens. It works well except all notice dialogs, the ship, and the HUD is split across two screens, which isn't that visually appealing. At these settings (16AA, 16AF, HDR, extreme all except high shadows), I typically get framerates in the 40s at 2560x1024 on one 8800GTX.
I run dual 8800GTX cards, but I can't use the second one if I want dual screen because horizontal-span mode only works if both monitors are on the same card. If I use dual-view mode, have one monitor attached to each video card, there's no way to use both monitors with EVE unless I use Windowed mode, which would kill all of my lovely AA, making edges jaggy (yuck). I don't run 8800GTX cards to just live with jaggy edges.
So from CCP, I'd like to see a client that will run natively on multiple monitors across multiple video cards, and also set the middle point (confirmation dialogs, camera view for ship, and HUD) to anywhere someone wants. Then we'd have true dual-screen gaming with EVE. Other game developers have already made this possible, and I am disappointed to see that CCP, supposedly "ahead" of its time in server and client design and technology, is so far behind in dual screen and multiple video cards.

Edited by: Ares Nightshade on 14/12/2007 19:44:06 For anyone running a single account and wanting to use their second monitor for other things like spreadsheets or browser windows without Eve minimizing all the time, EveMON, the popular skill planning program, has a great functionality built right into it.
In EveMON under Tools>Options>General, simply click 'relocate windowed EVE to fill a monitor', select which screen after hitting 'identify screens' and set your resolution in Eve to the same res as your selected monitor and run in windowed mode.
I don't know how this works on Nvidia cards, but it was a fantastic discovery for me. Eve basically runs as the desktop of the monitor you selected, though it will hide any toolbars on that screen i believe. Hope this helps someone.

Does CCP still hate us multi-monitor folks? Judging by the frame rates, and CCP's refusal to respond, I'd say so. ... Call me jaded, but out of all of the multi monitor posts in the last 4 (yes, FOUR) years, CCP havent responded ... ... ...

I posted an any-size windowed-mode workaround for EVE on multiple monitors here. It still doesn't help with multiple monitors full-screen (without in span mode), or multipel video cards for multiple monitors, but it may help some. :)

It's pretty awesome to have a company push special promotional deals to get people to purchase multiple accounts, yet have the worse multi-monitor/client support out there. I was fine with using EVE Launcher since it removes the silly default cache location in the users folder, but it doesn't seem to be updated anymore. It still works, but we shouldn't need 3rd party programs to get basic functionality like this.
Even WoW added native semi-full screen support, and that's not even a game you would normally want multiple accounts for. |

For the second scenario I created http://eve.j-e-b.net/evemover
I run this setup: pic---That is a span over 2 1680x1050s with one EVE, and 2 single monitors (one 1680x1050 and one 1440x900) with one EVE each, so the right half of the photo (yes, 5 monitors) is all one PC.
Now EVEMover moves each EVE to its assigned monitor and removes the border, so it does not overlap the other EVEs. And that's all it does. It does not resize the EVE windows, so it is possible to use a resolution that does not fill the whole screen.
PS: And its source is available, so if you're paranoid, own some version of Delphi and are willing to google for the third-party components I used (I forgot to write down their URLs and redistribution policies, sorry), you can recompile it for yourself.

Sweet, Henry.
I've found your relocation software before, but I only use one EVE account, so I wouldn't take advantage of all its features. Yours does what GWR does, but with more features for those running multiple clients.
I wish I could run AA in windowed mode (yes, I use it along with HDR via nHancer). It would solve my only remaining issue. That would have to change with NVIDIA drivers or fixed by CCP with support for multiple monitors and multiple video cards with their client.

Originally by: SengH I have a 2405 FPW too but I cant imagine playing EVE on anything bigger... it would just be TOO big...
Got the same monitor.. Would love to have the option to run EVE on it with all the Overview, Cargo Hold (mine and target) Item Info etc on a second monitor... ------------------------------------- Bill Gates: What's that?!?

I'd like to add my support, I started back when they originally supported it and now after a number of years I've come back after purchasing a second monitor specifically for Eve (nice for other stuff too though) to find they no longer support it leaving me stuck in windowed mode with no AA.

I'd like to add my support for multiple monitors. That was one reason why i stoped playing one year ago. So i thought i give it a try again, maybe after a year they did some changes. Well they changed some grafics but still no multiple monitor suport, it starts to buging me again.

For those of you who have a spare card running around, i had a bit of luck streaching it across 3 monitors. Had some bugs, and occasionally had a fatal error, but i think that was more linked to the ram module i just popped last week haha.
As for support, id vote for even only having the graphics render on one monitor, then throw all your info panels onto the next.

personally i use the evemon technique so it doesnt minimise my main screen when im browsing the forums at the same time.
it would be nice to have some support for using the second screen to put chats or something in.
would be nasty to code though, as second monitors arent always the same size or resolution as the primary screen.
almost needs like irc when you can detach the chat window to move it outside of the main window.
so /signed and good luck.

I started dual screening about two weeks ago when (24" and 22" respectively) and I'm not trying to do anything fancy with it, but I've noticed that EVE just dies and crashes when I run winamp along with it now with the DC setup. One account I run on my laptop (alt account) my main account is on the 24" and the 22" runs GOM Player for movies/whatnot or just has firefox open for web browsing - but when I run winamp for music EVE just crashes randomly.
O.o ----------------- An apple a day keeps anyone away, depending on how hard you throw it.

Originally by: Equipment Warehouse I gotto ask ....
I'm having problems getting Eve to span monitors. I'm running Vista x64 ultimate on an AMD dual core, with a NVIDIA 6800 GT Gpu with dual monitor support. Desktop os checked to 'extend' onto both monitors.
Now, Eve recognises the presence of two monitors on two seperate display adapters, and offers the option of selecting which adapter to run Eve on.
However, I cannot get Eve to offer a spanned resolution at all.
I've checked the NVIDIA driver and the Vista display setting,s and cannot find any reference to spanning, beyond the 'extend my desktop onto this monitor' setting in display settings.
Any advice?
EW
Hey there! I know what your problem is. I have highlighted them in your quote :)
Check out my post for CROSSFIRE, which also has info that applies to SLI.
Windows Vista doesn't support strech horizontally or vertically

My Setup:
1. 3 17" LCD monitors 2. 2 PCI-E video cards 3. PowerStrip software
I use powerstrip software to trick eve thinking my monitor running at 3840x900.
Do search on powerstrip here on eve forum, there is a guide on how to do that.
