  • DualHead-Zoom and games

    Hullo,

    Excuse my ignorance, but why isn't it possible to play a game on the primary display and have a zoomed-in portion of it on the secondary display, using the Dualhead's Zoom mode? This would be ideal for RTS games, such as Starcraft, where you could zoom in on the mini-map on the other monitor.
    Whenever I have tried this, with the seconday display initially showing a zoomed portion of the desktop, the seconday display immediately jumps to clone mode when the game starts.

    Thanks.

    Shame it doesn't work, as that sounds like a great idea. Maybe if there is a Starcraft 2, it will support 2 monitors

          I'd really love to use that feature as a permanent 'sniper' ...

          Would make us DH users somehow superior with such a feature.

          Don't know if it's possible though.
