Duplicate screen and mouse cursor glitch [Resolved]

Post by steph_m37 » Thu, 10. Jun 21, 08:47

Hello!

i play with the 4.00 - Version 4.00 Hotfix 3 (legacy) vanilla, my graphic card RTX3090 last GeForce experience
Info: 'NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090' NVIDIA-driver v466.47.0 (Vulkan 1.2.168) from core debug log
Full screen 3840*2160 on display port, that my setup i play (one monitor setup).
(Steam game)

Recently I acquired an external capture card Elgato 4k60 s +, after more than one test I set my config as follows:
  • [1] Monitor - Acer Full screen 3840*2160 on display port as usual.
  • [2] Monitor - Elgato 4k60 s+ on HDMI port (only input, card is in internal mod no output)
  • [3] Monitor - Dell 1920*1080 on second HDMI port
same frequency for two main monitors, and I configured the windows screen properties to have both monitor types:
  • Acer XB281HK(HDMI)
  • Acer XB281HK(DP)
(Shown in this order in the property panel)

For advanced display settings in windows tab, I have:
  • Ecran 1 : Acer XB281HK
  • Ecran 2 : 4K60 S+
  • Ecran 3 : DELL 2407WFP

In windows display tab, monitor one & two are duplicated and i have monitor three in extended desktop options.

Work fine with my other steam games. (Using OBS studio on a third monitor 1920*1080, chat etc)

In streaming mode when I run the X4 steam shortcut, the desktop, the icons are displayed for a brief moment in a lower resolution, big icon magnifying glass effect of the desktop and the game launches with its home screen, at this time the screen game resolution corresponds well to the 3840 * 2160, but the mouse cursor and much larger as if it were in a resolution lower than that of the screen, the steam info affected too, Shortened shift tab for steam show steam panel in a different resolution of the game (lower i think).

The graphics settings of the game are well in 3840*2160, but for the monitor only Acer XB281HK(HDMI) is visible.

The mouse cursor is very big :D , certainly it is not really a bug, concerning the info panels (shift-tab) I do not watch them during the game, finally here I would like to know if other people have this problem and is what there is a particular setting to do.

I'm a little confused by your description of your setup, and I'm not really familiar with using capture cards, but my first suggestion would be to try using Borderless Windowed mode rather than Fullscreen. This would ensure that the game was using the window dimensions rather than the device dimensions, and might mean that it got less confused by your complicated arrangement. :)
