    Default Duel Monitors Not Playing Nice In Game

    All, I'm having trouble keeping my mouse pointer from winding up over on my secondary monitor while playing certain games (not all). What's strange is, its always a ubisoft game (Division, Far Cry Primal, Assassin's Creed, etc) that does it. Wow, Diablo 3... others, don't. I've tried running in windowed mode, full screen, border-less windowed, but none seem to work. I've researched trying to address this but for whatever reason, haven't gotten very far . Anyone else have this problem?

    Thanks

    well... got the new pc stood up and this problem went away. Not sure what was causing it though which is unfortunate. If anyone else ever experiences this, I'd start with your video driver setup, it was not something in-game like I had originally though. Sorry I don't have further specifics... just a starting point.

    I think this problem has to do with the game more than the PC. I've experienced it before, but blizzard games tend to not have this problem. Some games you will just have to play in full-screen and sacrifice the second monitor. :(

    I've had some weird experiences, not necessarily by one software developer. Do you alt+tab often while in game? I do remember far cry being really particular when alt+tabbing back in - if you clicked back in (like I typically did) it usually wouldn't play nice and you could end up with your results.
    Y'all got any more of them shirtguns?

    I have problems with that too. Usually I have to be in windowed Mode to do it properly. When in full-screen, though, sometimes I would alt tab out, then back in and my games would just be black (but I could hear the game running). Then I would have to force close the game and lose my progress.

    I've had it happen on a handful of games. For some reason, the mouse isn't confined to the game Window when in full screen mode. You could look in the game options to see if there's a setting to prevent it, but I have no idea why a new computer would make the problem go away. Are you running a different OS from your old rig?
