Guild Wars 2

Hello,

Kind of an odd bug that is probably uncommon because it requires dual monitors but it is really annoying sometimes. The bug is my mouse will slip onto my other monitor, and then if I click on that monitor it will minimize my game, which is very annoying in heated situations.

The bug occurs by clicking at the edge of your main monitor, and then moving your mouse over to the other. Sounds easy to avoid but this happens a lot because it is hard to keep track of your mouse sometimes.

I understand that this is a bug that happens to few people and will be very low on the priority list but I’m hoping it is a super easy fix or something. If it isn’t, well maybe sometime in the future.

Thank you for reading.

AH-HA! So that is why. Ive had this happen a few times as well (running full screen, not windowed full screen just to be clear.)

Yes it is very annoying when GW2 suddenly minimizes on you for no apparent reason.

A moderator moved my thread into tech support so I am just bumping this, since they buried it? I don’t know.

Run the game in “Fullscreen Windowed” at the resolution your main monitor runs at and it’ll never minimize.

It’s not a bug. Some games are coded to not allow you to drag off the screen and is probably why you think this is a bug.

hope this helps.

That doesn’t solve the problem at all

I too am having this issue. What is the fix?

Well I am having a similar issue. I have a Naga Razer and dual monitors. I have checked to make sure my drivers are all up to date on all peripherals. It seems to only happen while I play in this game. Any other game I play does not have this issue. When I am using my mouse moving my character right clicking and holding the right click button down the cursor will occassionaly slip off on the screen in another direction.. either onto my other monitor or just slip somewhere to left or right. Its like it can’t stay positioned when your right click holding your mouse and moving. It has caused issues when fighting, losing a target or trying to get away. Did anyone find a solution or work around for this? Please let me know as it is annoying as all get out.

This is how I run the game with 2 monitors, (2x 1920×1080 on Radeon 6850). The game does not minimize.

This doesn’t happen for me when I click off screen it just takes focus off the game. It is probably something to do with your computer set up not really the game.The only way to prevent clicking off screen is to use full screen.
