Dual Monitor - Diablo 2.1 freezes 2'nd mon.(1)Category: Technical SupportAugust-28-2014 11:52 AM PDT (8 years ago) Go to Blizzard forum post
Hi Diablo tech.

I'm running dual monitor on my computer. What I tend to do alot is watching a DVD on my offscreen while I play Diablo on my primary monitor.
It takes the "grind" a bit off at times and allows me to continue enjoying the game while beeing distracted a bit too.. hehe..

However, come patch 2.1, you Guys seem to have done some updates to the game in which way that as the topic says, as soon as I launch Diablo, the 2'nd monitor in my dual-setup just freezes up and the frame stands still. The Audio is still running, but the frame is frozen.
As soon as I alt-tab out of focus on Diablo, the movie simply continues´like normal.
Alt-tab back into Diablo and the 2'nd monitor freezes up Again.
bad for me :(

Is there some workaround I can do to get this part reversed so I can multitask Again? haha..
Anyways, thank you for your time. I hope for a reply :)

Taurea,

Are you able to try using a different media player than you're using now?

Taurea,

Nothing that I know of but if you were ok before it came out, I would think it probably did. Still, they make a lot of fixes that they don't add to the patch notes. A graphics change may have been inadvertently responsible.
