zod (DayZ)

I would like the ability to have DayZ playing on my main monitor and have whatever open on my second monitor (email, chat, whatever) and keep the game up and active when I go to the secondary monitor. Right now DayZ minimizes or if I put it in a window when I click to the 2nd monitor the game screen freezes until I make it the active window again. In a game like DayZ where you might have plenty of sitting time on your hands it would be nice to take care of other business while waiting on a friend in a town, waiting to snipe someone, etc.

So if anybody knows how to keep sounds in-game sound active when you move into another window drop the knowledge bombs!

Hey Klemingway that worked LAMFB! One thing, when I move away from DayZ to work in something else I do lose my in-game sound. Is there a way to not have that happen that you know of? Beans to you bro!

Thanks Klemingway, I'll test that -noPause parameter out and see if it works for me...and report back. The borderless windowed mode thing I screwed around with a bit and could never get it totally right. Tried using a few apps to manage that also but I have a problem where the resolution gets set low once you're in the game so everything is fuzzy. If you go into the video settings and fix the resolution I click save it still goes back to the lower res. I read where people have this problem so I figured getting yourself setup borderless in SA just isn't doable? Maybe it's also a problem depending on your screen res, mine is 1920x1200.

Getting to windowed mode is not the issue, that's easy. The game screen will still freeze when you move out of it to do something else. That's no good when you still need to be watching your surroundings. Need the game to stay active.

I don't really want another computer...I got enough crap in my office. Just throwing it out there to be seen though, it's on my wishlist for sure.

Ceiling cat done seen meh wee-wee!
