Guild Wars 2

You guys need to seriously fix the dual monitor support for this game.

Since beta, it has constantly alt tabbed me because the mouse escapes the game window in full screen.

This is unacceptable.

I’m tired of getting owned in a fight because the game decides to let the mouse go to the other monitor.

Run it in windowed fullscreen mode. It wont minimize and you can easily jump to a browser or IM/Skype window while keeping an eye on the game.

Exactly what I “dont” want.

I just said, I don’t want the mouse ESCAPING the game.

That kinda means, I don’t want it to “Easily jump to a browser or IM/Skype Window.”

This is a problem with the game client that needs to be fixed.

why bother having multiple displays if your not going to use them? I have had this problem in any game that has a cursor on screen for years. Its a multi display problem and not a GW2 client problem. If you don’t want to use the easy fix and take advantage of having multiple displays then disable your other displays while you play or be careful where you click. Those are your options, gl.

Well, another option is to use third party software to control the movements of the cursor. Look up DDMM (dual display mouse manager) if you’re interested.

Edit: I smell a fire…

That’s the thing, shouldn’t have to do that.

Doesn’t happen in Guild Wars, doesn’t happen in any other game I play. It’s a client problem, it needs to be updated and fixed.

only 1 idiot here, you can find him in your closest mirror. stop smashing buttons and clicking wildly random spots or use the simple fix i explained in my first post.

or just cry and blame Anet as that is much easier and fixes your problem.

Duplicate the screen instead of extending it. You will have the same thing displayed on both screens but your mouse will surely stay in the game. I’m being serious. If your attention is going to be solely on the game for the time being, disable dual monitors or duplicate it. There are solutions and work-arounds. ArenaNet isn’t going to cave to one man (or woman)’s request to fix something that can be fix by implementing something else.

You win some, you lose some.
